I was soooo thankful that my friends Mallory and Julie wanted to take me to the beach for a girls' trip around Marlee turning 1 to celebrate Mother's Day and being a mom for a year...we've almost made it! ;) It did my soul good to take a break from the everyday of being a wife, mom, housekeeper, dog trainer, etc. to get away and just worry about myself for a few days. It was a blast! We laughed a lot, read a lot, ate a lot, had a few drinks, and had to endure some rain, but at least our last day was sunny the whole day!
However, our last day I also received some heart-breaking news...Jon and April lost their baby. I almost break into tears just thinking about it. Dave told me over the phone that it happened Friday. Jon and Dave's mom Beth was in town for the last few days of my mom keeping Marlee while I was gone. Their whole family is devastated, understandably. But even though Jon and April don't deserve to go through this, I know they can handle it. It just wasn't the right time, and everything happens for a reason...but it's still hard to take. Even though it hurts mentally, April is okay physically, so at least they can try again. And I hope they do...they will be great parents! Anyway, I haven't called them yet because I don't know what to say, and I don't want to drudge it up if they are in a good place when I call. I can't wait to give them huge hugs next weekend in Centre! I send them much love, peace, and comfort.
We are gearing up for Marlee turning 1 around here. Throwing a small party with friends for her Saturday morning that should be fun! Can't believe it's almost her birthday already! She is so precious and such a joy! Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel and experience this...especially Uncle Jon and Aunt Ape!
Must log off before I start crying!
