Thanks for the kind comments from yesterday’s post. I try not to talk too much about the past so that I can ‘move on’, but sometimes things happen & the past is brought back to me. Dwight & I had a hard week. There were some BIG misunderstandings. Past doubts & fears were re-lived. Sometimes it’s 2 steps forward & 1 step back. I HATE stepping back!!! But after some good conversation, we are back to moving forward again. We used to hold things in for months at a time before dealing with them, but I think we’ve gotten that down to weeks at a time. Not ideal, but it’s progress!!! Anyway……

We’re going on a canoe trip as a last HURRAH before school starts next week. Both kids will be with us, along with 2 other couples & their kids. I’m really looking forward to it. I’m really hoping that the canoe company will let all 4 of us ride in the same canoe because I’m really dreading being in a canoe alone with just 1 of my kids. I don’t think I want to shoulder all that work by myself, along with the responsibility. But I know the kids will love it even more than I do. They’ll be out in nature & possibly bringing some of it back with them too!!! I’m mostly looking forward to Dwight & I creating memories for our kids. Family memories. Memories with our friends & all the kids too.

Last night Dwight rented ‘Catch & Release’ (for me, cuz it’s a chick-flick) and I liked it, even though Dwight fell asleep half-way through it! I just like Jennifer Garner SO much. I miss ‘Alias’ & I LOVED ‘13 Going On 30′. She can do no wrong. (OK – So I haven’t seen ‘Electra’ yet!!!) Anyway….the theme to this movie is “Life is messy. Love is messier.” Isn’t that the truth!!!!!
