February 2. Jonathan’s new birthday, yada yada yada…..

It’s been 11 years since I moved out on my own and started this blog. I was newly divorced and trying to make my way in the world as a single woman. My life continues to change and evolve every single year. Some great things, some so so things, some devastating things…. but through it all, God has been there, giving me joy and peace when I least expect it.

I’ve still been going to North Myrtle Beach for at least a month every winter. This was my 5th winter to go and I just returned home yesterday. I meet a lot of snowbirds there who don’t want to go all the way to Florida for the winter. The condo I rent is right on the beach. I find watching and listening to the ocean very peaceful. This year, I had planned on looking into buying a condo there. But a few months ago, my plans suddenly changed. Today, I signed closing documents on a condo in Orlando. It will be my 2nd home as I plan to stay in Murfreesboro for now. I need a place in Orlando because….I’M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!!!!!!!! Jonathan and Olivia are expecting a baby boy June 2nd! I’m not excited or anything 🙄……🎉💕🎉❤️🎉💕🎉!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m not crazy about summers in Florida but I know I will be crazy about baby boy!!! Anyway, I plan on going down often and eventually, putting the condo in a rental program for times I know I won’t be using it. 

I guess with time, everyone’s life changes. Some people get what they expect. And others, like me, have no idea what to expect each year. I wonder what year 12 will look like? I know one thing—there is going to be a very much loved baby boy in the world!!!!!!
