Adventures with wrinkles

 So we are on our first visit back. It's been so busy and I am exhausted and so are the kids and I'm not sure if the time change causes the wrinkles of our daily routine or the fact that since we got here all three of them are running around like chaotic tornados down tornado alley.  

Sometimes I wish we could betrothe our children. I know some really great kids. While on our adventure our kids have been enjoying spending time with their friends. Yesterday we spent time with our friends B and R and after I left I asked A "do you love B?" His response was " yes, mom I love her very much. We are gonna drive tractors together"  as he said this to me it warmed my heart because when he said it(I had giant mental visions of them driving tractors off into the sunset when they are 35 years old (Babies can't grow up).  These are the things I love about kids the genuine way they think and express themselves. My adventures are wrinkles with emotion and chaos everyday...I also know I throw a giant amont of wrinkles in the childrens adventures(how dare I not let you stumble down those basement stairs?!?)

This week has shown me more that where we are is where we are supposed to be... Even if I'm the talk of the town. 

Moving

When I look at you I see the time that has passed. I saw my babies grow here. Yet it's all changing. I've known that this is the plan and what we have always wanted. It's hard to walk away from the place we have always been, this is our life and now it's changing... Maybe I'm clinging maybe I'm being selfish... It's hard to leave; it's hard to walk away. 

In excited for new dreams and new memories to arise. I'm in the moments before you rip off the band aid and you know pulling it off is gonna hurt so you do it fast; your whole body tense you mind preparing itself for the struggle but you know once the band aid is off the skin will breath  and all will be well again. 

I can't wait to have new moments and  see who God has made us to be in this new old place. It's new to me and home to you,  it is all we have ever wanted and have continuously made due with what had been placed in front of us. We had a fairwell and I know we are loved. I wouldn't change any of this tension before the band aid is removed because I would be doing it without you.
