It's been a while since I've sat down and given you a glimpse into my heart. Life has been busy lately. Though that is my excuse, the real reason is that life has been hard. The last thing I've wanted to do lately is sit down and think about how I am doing. If you asked, I would probably say I'm doing okay. There is a heaviness in my heart that I can't seem to shake. Though I'm doing my best to "move on" and live life again, I will be the first to admit that the road is not easy. It is hard to be content with this stage of life. I miss being married. As much as I love Lincoln, I struggle with being a single parent too.

We are starting to get settled into our new house. This is the first weekend I've had to work on the house. (Last weekend we escaped to Dallas and spent time with friends.) I'm really ready to have the boxes unpacked and just be able to relax when we get home in the evenings.

Lincoln is busier than ever. His favorite word lately is "mine." I'm not sure where he learned that. (maybe at school???) He repeats lots of words. When you sing, he has started to "sing" along. He's really just making noises, but it's super cute!
