Hoping...

...that things continue to look up.  If there has been a theme of this year it has been patience, forgiveness, and staying hopeful.  I am learning to lean on God more than I ever have, although we are having a slight disagreement on what I can and cannot handle :)  FYI, God always wins.  He is , though, and finds a way to show me His faithfulness even in the darkest of times.  For the record, my bike got stolen last night.  Seriously.  I am honestly not that upset since it is such a small thing in comparison to all that I have been through (you know, all that stuff that I can't talk about on here, because I don't want to cause any unnecessary hurt).  It is actually almost comical to me.  Bikes can be bought again.  Relationships can be restored.  Hope can and will remain strong.

Graesen and both of my nieces hung out at my aunt's house tonight so my sister, mom, and I could go out to eat and to a movie.  Graesen loves going to his aunt Shannon's house.
