Been a while

Wow I didn't realize how long it had been since I have posted here.

Well lets see what all has happened... Trip to Mexico, Phil leaving, school about to start. Life just keeps going on and on.

I will begin with the Mexico trip. I have a lot of regrets from this trip. I wish I would have gotten more involved with the people and not worried about the language barrier. I wish I would have prepared myself better for all that I would encounter and experience. I realize it was my first mission trip and my first trip outside the US but I feel like I could have done so much more.

It was great to experience the culture a little and see the scenery. It is a beautiful country. Of course if I ever go again I will be more prepared. Hindsight is 20/20.

Now Phil is gone. This time is much different than the last. The kids understand more and I know where he is now. I am hoping that once school starts and we get on a good schedule that we will be too busy to think about him too much. I know the time will pass quickly too. I also know that we are moving when this part is done so I think that is what makes it hard as well. I know this is not an impossible life and countless others are doing it right now. It is very hard.

I am hoping to find a distraction to keep me from losing my mind. We shall see....
