I can't believe it's been two years since I last blogged. In the grand scheme of life that's not that long, but these past two years have been extreme for our family to say the least. There's been a lot of sadness, self doubting, and trials. There's also been a lot of adventure and smiles. We travelled to Osaka, Taipei, Singapore, and Thailand (twice),. We've celebrated birthdays, school years, and on some days, just making it through the end of the day. We almost broke, got used to a new normal, only to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and feel at peace. God sure knows what he's doing. Our family is back, happy, and ready to conquer our new adventure in just 10 short months. We will be leaving Okinawa after almost 7 years!! Steve already left to go to DC for a school. He won't be back until June, when we all pack up and leave this beautiful island. We will for sure be making the most of our time in Okinawa. Every day I realize something I'll miss about it, but I know it's time.
I wish I would have kept writing the past 2-3 years. In fact, it's the longest stretch of time I haven't written. Before the blog, I had all my journals. I think it was writer's block. I was in such an unhappy, unsettling place in my life that it felt fake to just pretend everything was ok. I was unhappy with myself but wasn't at a place where I felt able to self improve. I know I'm not perfect, but it was more than that. Things just didn't feel at peace. But now....I feel blessed to have come through this, I feel like a better, stronger person, and ready to tackle anything. Maybe one day I'll feel comfortable and impelled to share more, but for now that's what I can give.
