I've spent that past few days looking back at the past 8 years on Open Diary. First of all, I actually couldn't believe it had been eight full years since I started there and had to go back and count on my fingers like Jack does! Ha! Just amazing! When I started, Bailey was only 9 years old and I just started seeing Jacks dad! Now she is 17 and Jack is 7!
I did get a chance to download my diary but I'm still really sad it's gone. I'd hadn't really taken the time to write there over the past year or so but I did check in from time to time. I'm hoping I can attach myself here like I first did with OD all those years ago.
Life is good right now. I do have a handful of not so great things going on but I have a million other things to be grateful for. I know that I am truly blessed more than I feel I should be.
Bailey is graduating in June! She's in the midst of powerlifting season and will go right into track and field when that's over. She's been such a wonderful and caring teenager! I just could not have asked for anything more!
Jack is growing into such a wonderful young man! He's doing great in school and it looks like he's taking the more "artsy" side of life instead of athletics like his sister. He is still interested in some sports but he's more into Johnny Cash and painting pictures than anything else. We start guitar and swimming lessons this spring!
I am busy as always. Chasing after kids and working. I enjoy my job for the most part... Could defiantly do without some of the office drama but that's something that will always be wherever you are. I started a little project in memory of my mom. I'm making memorial baby blankets for mothers who have lost babies at birth (or babies born with critical problems) at the hospital I work for. It's something I've thought about for years and finally put in place not too long ago. More on that later. I'm still single but I've had a feeling things in that area are to change. No new anything right now... Just got a feeling this crazy beautiful life is about to make a change for the better.
It feels good coming back to a place to write it all down. It's defiantly not OD but it's a nice new start!
I'm out! 💜Jodi
