Here we go...

Ok, so I know I am behind the times but really I have never blogged in my life.  I am not sure I really understand it yet but bare with me and I promise I will do my best.  My family is getting ready to set out on a new journey in life (when Eric actually gets here).  He is coming home early from Iraq to support me and Aribella with all of the difficult changes we have gone through over the past year.  He too is struggling so we figure we are stronger together and need to be there for each other.  Life has a funny sense of humor if you ask me but I have always tried to live my life knowing that things happen for a reason.  It seems though, that each and every day is a struggle so I am taking it one day at a time.  I know that I am truly blessed to have such a supportive and loving family behind me and thank god everyday I am with them.  Aribella has been my little ray of sunshine ever since she came around.  She wakes up each and everyday ready to face the world head on and at a full run.  It is hard not to smile when you are around her, she beams happiness all the time!  Time seems to fly though and in June we will be celebrating her third birthday.  I can hardley believe how big she has gotten and how cotton pickin cute she is.  Che's nickname for her is M&M (Mini Megan) and wow is it true!  I now know why mom had thinning hair!  I will be amazed if I come out of this with any.   Everywhere we go everyone tells me they have never seen a child look so much like their parent and I just have to shake my head and giggle;)  Well until next time....
