same as people who aren't different
Life feels new. Starting a new year actually feels refreshing this time. Saying goodbye to augustine seems so far away now. Some days I find myself emotional and it can be hard to think about him and other days I am yelling at justin to get a vasectomy! seriously! (: That isn't scheduled for a few more months so I guess God has a little more time to slip us a fast one (: it's really up to him right now.
I am feeling more content with my life than ever. That has always been a struggle for me since having children and what a relief it is to be able to enjoy every moment of every day. (ok mostly) These two children overwhelm me with their amazing personalities and hillarious sense of humor. It is a blessing to be their mother! I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined myelf saying something like that ten years ago! but it's true. life is beautiful and thankfully I am not the same as I was ten years ago!

Thanks for the heads up Gwen! i wonder if there is anyway to get them fitted? I was also looking into Converse...but for almost the same price i could get the Toms and a pair could go to a needy child. I'll figure it out I'm sure. Thanks sweetie!!! LOVES AND HUGS!!!

Gwen, I so enjoy reading your blog. I love your transparency and how you are real. When I think of your precious Augustine, I am so filled with love and it reminds me of how simply the love of God is when He looks upon us. Just the other day, I got the news that my boss's wife had lost the baby at 7 months. Hearing your heart with the pregnancy and delivery of Augustine gave me so much compassion. Thanks for being so real and open with us. You are a wonderful woman Gwen. Thank you for belonging to Jesus!!
