Where to begin?

Ok, so its been a week since my last post and I know I need to post again, but honestly I'm not sure what to post. My mind is going 90 mph and in over 100 different directions! Seriously, I'm not kidding. I was helping my sister today and couldn't even seem to focus. A part of me just wants to update on whats going on in the family, but theres really not much. Thens theres the part of me that can't stop thinking about our vacation coming up and school being out for Mason. The other part of me wants to tell you all how and in what way I was truely touched by the womans retreat this weekend, but kinda feel like thats too transparent for me and I'm not ready yet. It has encouraged me to write my story though! I know I was supposed to do that long time ago, but I didn't.

So maybe I'll just share a little about all of it.

I truely feel blessed to be a mother! I am amazed at how fast the boys are growing up. They are all true individuals, even the twins. I feel blessed to be their mother! Wait...did I already say that?!

I think I am more ready for school to be out more than Mason. It has been just as much work for me as it has been for him. We are all exhausted and are in need of a break. I know that your probably thinking to yourselves that its nothing compared to what I'll experience next year...and your probably right. But am I ready for a break, as is Mason. We are taking our first family vacation ever this summer and we are all so excited! It will be a fun and interesting journey. It will be a time for us to bond together again and just enjoy being a family! We are praying that we embrace what God has for our family.

Now...on to the retreat. Where to start. Im not sure. I guess I will start by telling you all, I cant believe I'm saying this, but I really didnt want to go. With my past experiences I just had a negative attitude about it and I feel very uncomfortable around people I dont know. I will however follow up by saying...WOW!!! I was so glad that I went!! God ordered my steps and I was there for a reason. Everything that happened, everyone I talked to, everyone that I stepped out of my comfort zone to approach....God had placed there for a reason. I am not one to reach out, not one to approach, not one to cry and generally feel very uncomfortable in any situation. God really stretched me this weekend. I am still thinking and praying about where to go from here because I'm not real sure.

Ok, so thats about as transparent as I can get. That was seriously a stretch for me. So if you see me and I dont talk or seem very quiet please know that I am not trying to avoid or be rude. I just have a hard time stepping out of my box. I am, however, going to try and change that!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day and has a wonderful and blessed week!!
