We have been on a bit of a roller coaster it seems. With our situation, we are bound to have low moments, and I know we both have our share. But we also have some great moments, and the last two weeks seem full of both of those. The good moments are easier to talk about... we have started making podcasts of discussions we have about various things, primarily for our girls; we had a really positive visit from the director of the St. Francis Service Dogs; we got to spend some time with Tony's brother, Martin; plus there are always great moments in our time together as a family.
The low moments are... having a contractor in to estimate for making the house wheelchair accessible; having the service dog lady in goes both ways; having those great moments as family and realizing they won't last forever; breaking into tears talking about our first date and thinking about how much we love each other in our first podcast... sometimes things are good and bad all at the same time.
These things are normal, and I guess we just need to accept them and move on. We are definitely going to have low moments, we just can't let them take over... we just have to enjoy the great moments that much more!
This weekend should be a really great moment. We are heading to Orange, Virginia for a parachute jump. It is one of the things on Tony's list... so we are going. I try not to think about us being irresponsible by both jumping at the same time when we have small children! I think it will be lots of fun and I am glad we have some friends and family coming with us.
Am I a little scared? Actually, not really.... that might change on Saturday though! Wish me luck!
