Wow. I started this blog thinking it would be a nice way to communicate with friends and family online all at once. And then I didn't add entries. For six months. Wow. Yikes. Oops.
It has been such a busy, yet normal, six months. We made it through the winter with minimal scarring and blues. I am thankful for that. Spring came and went and gave us some of the most beautiful days since we've moved to Alaska.
Summer has arrived and the days are long, long, long. I am loving the long days. But now we are loosing daylight each day. And that's ok. It's part of how things go.
I went on my first camping trip with my husband since we got married....way to long ago....and enjoyed it so very much. We will be doing it again next week as we go fishing, or dip netting, down south.
Summer has been busy. So busy. We had our regional convention during June and it has thrown our entire calendar off as we are used to enjoying this during Labor Day weekend. I wish I could go again. And again. But here in Alaska, it's once and done.
There have been many more adventures every day. And that's what I love about life.
I almost forgot to add that I finally met another woman with the same birth defect as myself, Turner Syndrome, since I was diagnosed 20 years ago. And she's also a sister in the Truth. A sister and a fellow butterfly. We became instantly bonded. And cried tears of joy as we embraced. There are just some things only a fellow butterfly can understand. And to have someone who can understand those things from Jehovah's perspective is just priceless. I'm so happy to have her in my life. It's a bond I was truly missing. She's just so sweet and cute. I loved her as soon as I saw her face and saw so much of my own. You see, there are certain physical characteristics that are common to butterflies and I saw all of these in her. We both made the comment we resemble each other more than our families. And it's true. And amazing. And I could go on. I would post a picture, but we forgot to take one and I'll have to get her say so obviously. So I guess I'll just have to go have lunch with little miss in Anchorage. Not a problem!
Well, that's about all I can think of at the moment. I hope you all are feeling happy, healthy and loved. And that the sun rises on you smiling today. I would say the same of myself, but here in Alaska, it hasn't set yet. No joke. I think I'll put together a photo post next that will share with you all a bit of our summer here in amazing Alaska.
Until then.
