Today was our last day on our unit. It was a little emotional when I left. I've worked there for 9 years. So much has happened on this hallway. I've made some of the most amazing friends here. Good things are to come on our new unit, but it's sad that we will never be on 8E again.

Happy St. Patty's Day. (It's impossible to get them both to look at the camera at the same time)

Today...We went and saw sesame street live. It was so much fun!!! Kaylie clapped and waved her hands the whole time.
Some exciting news to share
No picture with this post... But I have some exciting news that I promised I would share yesterday.
Let me first start by saying that my husband has been working out of town every.single.week. And I work every weekend. About a month ago I told him I was done. I was ready to move and become the family that we needed to be. It's hard not having my mom here AND having my husband gone all the time. So he had several phone interviews for a job in virginia. Then they said next weekend they wanted him to come up there for a interview. Well yesterday as I was leaving the church in the am, my husband called. He said your mom is looking down on us. He got a call from that same company and they want to interview him tomorrow for that job. But they don't want him to work there. They want him to work HERE at Lake Norman!He has been looking for a job here for the last 5 years and was told there aren't any. I got chills and couldn't stop crying. This would be a dream come true. And I have no doubt that my mom is watching us and this is sent to us from her. How amazing to get this news on the very same day that my mom was taken to heaven. So he is leaving in the am for this interview. Pray that he gets this job! Then we could stay here AND he would be home every single night. I can't even imagine how great that would be.

What a day this has been. A year ago today my mom went to heaven. (that's still hard to say or see in writing) Anyways we started out the day by going to nana's grave and talking to her. Lauren was smiling and talking about all the fun things we did with her. I wish adults could think like that instead of grieving like we do. Then after preschool we got some pink and green balloons. (b/c green was my mom's favorite color, and pink is lauren's favorite.)Lauren wrote a note to nana and then we sent the balloons up into the sky to nana in heaven. It was a great way to remember her. And there was possibly something wonderful that happened today. That can only be explained by my mom watching over us and having a hand in it. More on that to come tomorrow. But I definitely felt my mom here with me today.

Today. my mom's longtime friend judy came over to visit. My girls had so much fun with her. It means so much to all of us to have her in our lives. It's like having a part of our mom here with us.

My mom made a journal for both of my girls. Today was the first day I have been able to even open it. We got through the first page. That was enough for both of us, but a start.

Today. went went to my dad's house to get a few things of my mom's to keep. While we were there I realized I didn't have a picture of the girls room there. My mom made a room at their house for my girls. My mom decorated it and put lots of things in there that they would like. So here is kaylie in the crib. After taking this picture I realized this would mean a lot to her when she is older. She won't remember her nana, but she can look at this and know how much she loved her and wanted her to have her own special room.
