So many things have happened since the wedding. I must admit that in the beginning, I was just lazy and didn't have much to post. I mean, there's only so much you can say about the wedding, right?! Don't get me wrong - I LOVED IT! And I'm so grateful for all the hard work that my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. put into it! It NEVER would have happened without you all.
Being married has been an adventure for sure - even though I feel like I was very prepared. But nothing could have prepared me for what was coming.
Many of you know that Danny has a daughter. Chloe - she's nine. I love her dearly, and, if you saw her
Well, just after 3 months of wedded bliss, Danny got a disturbing phone call. Chloe's mom had suddenly passed.
What?
Yeah.... That's what I said. Her mom was gone. Chloe was without her mother.
Now, of course, this meant Chloe was coming to live with us. Which he was looking forward to. And I think Chloe was looking forward to (although I don't think the circumstances were ideal for her).
I wasn't NOT looking forward to it. I was just NOT PREPARED. Which is my biggest nightmare. BIGGEST.
So, I'll sum up all the gory details by saying we're ALL in for some serious adjustments.
Having said that, it has been 2 months of praying, crying, adjusting, crying, being blessed, crying, fighting, crying, counseling, crying, and... a little more crying. Did I mention crying? Did I mention it was mostly by me? Ok... let's move on.
Back to what matters... Chloe is doing great. Danny and I are doing great. And to be honest, as a family, we are doing great. The Lord is watching over us, protecting us, and blessing us like crazy mad blessings!
There are so many thoughts and feelings and prayers going through my head and heart at any given moment, that I don't really know what to say next. What I do know is that the Lord knows what He is doing. He knows why this is happening to our family and He knows how it all ends because He is already there. Wow... what peace that brings.
This is just the beginning. I can't help but look forward to the future.
