Island life!

Boys. Challenging moms everyday with being comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Two days ago, Jacob set off with a buddy. He had a sleeping bag, pillow, backpack filled with I don't know what, and some shoes.  They hopped onto a jetski that was waiting at our dock and set off.  That's the uncomfortable part! It's new. Who gets picked up by jetski at the dock? Ha! Lake life! ❤️


They met up with his buddy's parents who have a house boat. They docked the house boat at an island and the boys camped out overnight. Building a fire pit, getting wood, starting the fire. 
I can't tell you how uncomfortable but excited I was for him! He is so incredibly happy when he had a job. A plan. Something that gives him purpose. 
Lucky for us, and gin, he has surrounded himself with amazing friends to make memories with.



That boy had my heart wrapped up tight! 
Beyond happy for him!

Talking to myself

That's what I find myself doing all the time. Taking to myself.  Working through things in my head and letting little snippets come through my lips. So many things I wish that I had blogged about, for me. The kids have grown so much, done so many things. We've moved. 
John and I have learned so much about love, growth and life. We are entering a new chapter soon, one with changes hat I can't seem to wrap my mind around and yet everyone else seems so excited. "Oh wow! You have one almost graduating." 
Me? Oh, no! I have 3 babies.

Blogging, for the memories. And so I don't look like a crazy lady talking to herself.
