So Many Changes

Wow, it's been so long since I have been on here and so many things in my life have changed. Dawson is about to start first grade, Brody about to start preschool. I remember when they were just little babies....how I miss that time.
My sister became and instant mom when her "soon-to-be-husband's", daughters mother died (what a mouthfull) it's been an experience watching her learn how to do it all. I would have to say that she has really matured in the process. It's been kind of a blessing for both of them. The doctors always told my sister it would be hard for her to have kids.....then she ends up with a guy (a great guy at that) who's daughter has no mother. God really does work in mysterious ways.
My mom and dad's divorce is about to go through....for a while there I really thought they were going to get back together. They have both changed so much.....I think they are just completley different people with difference needs and desires. I've learned many things about each of them that I never realized before. In the process, I think it has changed who I am and who I want to become.
Since Christmas, I think my realtionship with my husband has changed as well. I think it's changed for the better. I fell like I am more aware of who I am now. I am more aware of the things I do and I try not to take life so seriously...at least not as much as I used to. I have learned that his feelings are his feeling and my feelings are my feelings....it doesn't mean thats the way things are....it just means thats how we feel. For me, that has really been the key.
We just got back from a mini-vacation. We went to Scott City, Kansas. It was a nice little trip, we stayed in a Cabin for 4 nights. The best part was going to see Monument Rock....the boys really enjoyed that. We also looked at some museums there and we found a really awesome park where the boys had a blast! Take a look:
