This is from about a month ago. I was able to see my fam. It was only for about 24 hours but it was worth it. It just makes me happy that even though I am gone for so long, Ian will run to me and act as if I never left....well, atleast that is what I hope he is feeling. He is a good boy. And he has a great mother. I keep telling her I will make up for leaving them for so long. I hope I can make good on that promise! It has been tough here, and even though things haven't gone as Mer and I planned, I still see so many blessings in our lives. It is tough for me to go to our little church here by myself without my family but every time I do (which i try to make it every week!!) something there reminds me of what blessings I have and why it is that I am here. It really makes life a little more manageable. So, life is tough but we just have to keep truckin. Soon, it will all be worth it.

You can't get much cooler than this! Choncho is growing up too fast. It's crazy that I have been gone for over six months now. Almost done.....well...closer.
