It has been a very exhausting and emotionally draining week, but today is a day of celebration and reflection. On Saturday, my family celebrated the life of a great woman, and today we celebrate the anniversary of a great nation.
Things are beginning to calm down now in the family and our lives are settling back into a normal routine. I go back to work tomorrow and I must say that I am glad.
My brother and his family are still here, and we are really enjoying our unexpected time together. My parents have decided to stay a little longer and go down to the Florida Keys with us this weekend. They haven't been to the keys in many years, and so I think we will have a great time together.
Thank you all who have made sweet comments and have been thinking about my family and praying for us. Believe me, it truly helped. I will be in and out a lot over the next 2 weeks on all of our little get-aways, but I will try to keep up on my journaling whenever I can. You all have a wonderful 4th!
