It's Been A While!

Do people really read blogs anymore?

It seems that there are so many ways to stay updated in people's lives, 

that blogs are superfluous...

Well anyhow-
it's been a while since I blogged last,
 and of course lots of things have happened.
Sweet things,
and sad things.
Baby girl has grown into a vibrant, stubborn, sweet and independent 8-month old.

Jon is loving his new job.

I am loving my new job.

Life for us is really good.

Yet...
in the past year,
I've had three friends have to bury their children.
A lot of tears. A lot of hugs. A lot of prayers.
I can't help but think "Why?"
Sometimes I wonder,
"Why have hope? Why love at all when losing a loved one can hurt so bad?"
And for right now...
I still don't have answers.
 And that's ok.
Life can still be wonderful.
Life can still be good.
Even with holes in our hearts.
