The Focus

I mean, I hate to be lost for more then 10 minutes before i go into a complete and utter panic, My mind will start to wander, my heart begins pounding and within minutes I am in a complete and total melt down.. So what was I thinking moving thousands of miles away from HOME...   Depression will come and go, mood swings are sometimes just part of my daily routine and crying myself to sleep had become just part of the evening...  After 4 years you would think this would now be HOME  and yet it has been a daily struggle.. That is till the other night when Kris and I had come home from our date night and I went in and checked on Madi..  She has been also crying herself to sleep at night and begged me to just get us back to Sarasota where we could never wear out our welcome, where friends just walked through the door, and family is eager to take them for days at a time...  MY HEART BROKE...  Although I have tried to hide my struggle my children are just as fragile and right then I decided to make this HOME..  ( at least for now) ..  :)
Because if  we keep focusing on the things that we no longer have we will miss the AMAZING things that are happening right in front of our eyes and we need to get it in gear fast..  So the last couple of weeks I have documented the most important things we have..  EACH OTHER.. 
Because this family will be there to cheer each other on in the most important times... Like the championship game for Karson Noah, where we took center stage cheering that boy on and they WON 10-0 in the 4th inning.. 

And when asked to help with a fundraiser for the police department we show up like an army and take it on like it was second nature.. 

Where the sweet friends we have made show up for a water playdate and cupcakes on very hot afternoon....

Where this family will show up to tailgate at a Knights game where only about 100 people showed up for the game and we show up with an entourage of people, and grill out hot dogs, hamburgers play some football in the parking lot and maybe have a few to many..

And of course you have to get some ice cream, because when you go to a baseball game you just have to get ice cream and at 5 dollars a pop well, you all just share it..

We def. cannot get away from our roots of being a Florida Family so when the water park opens we are there on opening day soaking in the wonderful smell of chlorine water, getting some good ole' sunshine, and swimming till they close the place down and then we all go home and crash..

And one of the greatest Highlights of the past 2 weeks...  Logan getting his Varsity letters for being on the Varsity Baseball team at Porter ridge High...

Although we have had struggles with this move, When you take the time to Focus on the most important things, the Journey really is not all that bad, the sad moments are fairly short and small compared to the amazing things happening everyday.. Our Family is Blessed beyond measure, the friends we are making are more then we could of ever hoped for and the time we have together making our own traditions and routines  has been priceless....
