Milestones

As of this week, we've lived in Mundelein longer than we lived in our rental house in Knoxville - which was the brief stop in our journey here.  The time here has gone much faster than the time there.  While it was great to be less than three miles from my parents, grandma, and brother and less than 15 miles from my sister and the rental house was awesome, the days we spent there were some of the more difficult in our marriage to date.  For one - for various reasons Michael spent more nights sleeping somewhere else than he did in the house.  Anyway - it's a little thing in the big scheme of things, but it's an emotional milestone for me nonetheless.

Names

From henceforth I am referring to my children by the first initial of their first name - "L" and "G" - it's just simpler that way.
