Sometimes things happen that make us realize how very lucky we are to have the people in our lives that we do. For me, it isn't that I don't appreciate them on a daily basis, because I do, but sometimes life just happens so quickly that it can be hard to find time to reflect and appreciate all of the little things that the ones we love do for us. A kind word, a helping hand, a hug at the end of the day, soup when you're sick....people have this amazing ability to connect on so many levels, and I just want to acknowledge that I would not be where I am, or who I am without the people that have helped me along the way,sometimes in ways that they may have thought to be insignificant.
Recently, Brian has been having some medical issues that are probably concerning me more than necessary, but it's times like this that you realize how much family pulls together, how much people love you, and that no matter what could ever possibly happen to you there will be the same smiling faces there loving you the entire time. Brian and I are both lucky enough to have amazing families that convey that to us when we need it the most. We are lucky enough to have each other and to know every day that there isn't going to come a time when we have to deal with the hard things alone.
Sorry I'm such a sappy mess today! :/
On a different note, I recently went through the application process for Big Brothers/Big Sisters here in Rockford. I have an interview set up on the 13th, and I'm really excited to meet with the director, and learn more about the program. If all goes well, after that I can start the training that they require, and be assigned to a "little". Very exciting!
Aside from that, nothing new to report. Still waiting on my niece...
