What a year it has been - those that know me know 2014 so far has not been the greatest of years as I lost my father in May. Life has been so unimaginably different since. I really do miss him every.single.day in one way or another.
In January I lost an uncle to suicide. Writing "to suicide" is difficult for me - our society continues to have such a stigma regarding all things mental health- suicide is the 5th leading cause of death in the US and yet ranked 8th in receiving funding.
If I had to find one positive to come from any of this is the reassurance of what an amazing family and amazing friends I have in my life. I am so very very blessed.

We purchased a camper this summer in Devils Lake; we have been saving for a lake home for a few years now, and with my father's passing, it was really a wake up call as to how short life is, as cliche as that may sound. So we decided to "live for today" and enjoy things now. We have had an absolutely amazing time.

Mason has started kindergarten. I feel old. Time goes by so quickly. He loves every minute.
Will hopefully try to post more frequently. No promises :)
