Well, the soup was a bust.....One of the only meals in our whole marriage that Matt wouldn't even EAT!!! I don't think it was that bad, but whatever!

Daisy Walk/Run is tomorrow, bright and early. If anyone still wants to participate, I would love to see your pretty faces.

I am a little emotional today--Big day tomorrow and I am finding that sometimes it hits me before the event. Then hopefully at the event, I will be calm and peaceful. Many friends, family, and others will be joining us and I know that it will be a healing moment. To think, one year ago, I was pregnant, had a job, and was excited that my girls would be 2 years apart. So much as happened in a year. I wouldn't take it back. Even though it has been and still is painful, I wouldn't change it. I was thinking this morning about how many new friends I have made and how Daisy has changed lives and how life is sweeter in the arms of Jesus. I know that am where I am supposed to be.....

Had our surprise shower for Candace last night. Everyone actually pulled it off--a true surprise!!! It was fantastic shower (Turners always have great parties!) I think she forgives me for keeping it from her. She kept confiding in me that she was surprised that no one had offered to have a shower. I felt so badly keeping it from her, but I think she is over it! She got many great gifts and I am excited to see the pictures.

Off to do some paperwork, bills, print cards for Trifle.

Starting many new routines

Lily started school on Tuesday. She went again today and did fantastic! I am so proud of her for playing with the kids, listening to her teacher, learning new things, and going willfully!

It is odd how sometimes we worry and worry and worry about something, then it turns out to be not a big deal at all. Have you ever noticed that??? I was so worried that Lily wasn't going to do well with getting dropped off at school. I thought she would cry and cry and cry. Instead, she did wonderfully. Same with BSF. I wasn't sure she was going to like it and I thought she would cry when I dropped her off. She was great. I have been anxious about these two things for months, but GOD knew that it was going to be okay. I had kinda come to the conclusion in the last couple of weeks that if she didn't do well at school, she didn't have to go....God knew that it was going to be FINE. Worrying for NOTHING. We do that quite a bit, don't we?

We also started BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) yesterday morning. I was a tad overwhelmed and truly haven't started my homework yet. (I attempted to start it, but couldn't concentrate on the words....something I have struggled with since losing Daisy). So, hopefully I will be able to get down to business soon because there is lots of material to cover.

It has been a good week, but a busy one. Have had several doctors appts and stuff too.....I am trying to figure out where I stand physically before I make any decisions on babies.....Although I am not really sure if it is helping me decide or confusing me further.

Off to start dinner. I am making a new soup that contains butternut squash, leeks, garlic, pinto beans, bacon, kale....I'll let you know if it is good and post it to the blog. Lily has been liking soup, so anything I can do to get veggies in that girl, I will try!

Lily eating breakfast before her first day of school!

And, cheesey smile in classroom before I leave....She DID NOT cry! I was so proud of her today.
