This past month has brought change. On June 29, the joyful wedding of our beautiful daughter Kelly to Josh. We gained an awesome son in law and his family are all delightful. We feel blessed to have Josh as part of our family and I look forward to getting to know his family better.
My girl is a married woman now! Of course I am still her Mama and always will be but it will be fun to hang out with her as two married ladies. When they start a family down the road, oh boy, it will be so wonderful! OK, getting ahead of myself!
July 15, had my first knee replacement. Now that was a big change getting a new body part and I am recovering from that slow but sure. My loving husband, Dan has been taking great care of me. He is doing all the shopping, cooking, laundry, taking of our doggies and so much more. I am so grateful for him. I am anticipating the complete change when my other knee is replaced and both knees are healed. I have a list of places I am going, things I will do.
The latest change is that Kelly and Josh are moving away in a couple of weeks. Josh was offered a job that he couldn't turn down. They will be about 3 hours away. I am happy for them, this new job and adventure. But, I am sad that are leaving our area. This is a Mama speaking, it may sound selfish, but I really wish they would have stayed in our area. Going to miss them so much. I have to stop thinking about how this changes things. I know it's not far and it could of have been worse. Just disappointed that they will be too far away to make impromptu plans with them, will be losing the comfort of having them within a short distance. With God's help I am learning to accept all of this and I am doing my best to be supportive. Kelly has told me several times that she will be back to visit, lots. Thank God for that! I need time with my girl. We will go visit them when we are able, but it will be much better to have them visit us and see friends, family and of course Bentley and Tucker!
take care, be blessed
