Life has been busy and crazy and wonderful.

In January I went on a 10-day mission to Wahiawa with a group from my church. It's a town in the middle of the island of Oahu. I traveled 5000 miles away from my babies and my husband. It was the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. It was worth every second of pain and every tear shed over the decision. I can't fully talk about what happened to me there because it's so hard to explain. God did amazing things in my heart and my life and I know things will never be 'status quo' again. Maybe I'll elaborate someday when I can put it into better words.

My children grow in leaps and bounds. Ace is 2 & 1/2 and so smart and witty and fun. And he loves his sister, which warms my heart. Lu is 8 months old and her own little person. She is funny and cuddly and sweet. And she has a temper that, as a baby, Ace never had. It's been fun seeing the differences between the two.


Life is sweet and wonderful. I find moments of joy in every day, both big and small. In December I declared that 2012 was going to be MY year. It's only March and it's already been the best year of my life.
