Meet me in the middle of a moonlite Chevy bench seat and do a little bit of country song

Today is a big day for us. Today marks 5 years we've been in our little house. I'm so proud of this house. It's not the biggest and best house there is but it's ours and I'm quite proud that I bought this house at 21. Goals are so important! This house gave Ricky and I roots. So many memories have been made here but the best have been in the past almost 3 years. There is nothing like having your own home. We are in no hurry to leave here although this time last year we were. Things change and the fact of the matter is the kids have an adopted family in our neighbors across the street which is great since we don't really have much of that, Ricky is headed back to school as am I, and the next house we live in will be built with everything we want which will cost a pretty dime. So until then we will stay in our little house that could :)
Therapy started back today. We love our team and are so blessed with qualified therapist that adore our kids. HOWEVER, it's so much. It might not seem like it's a lot since it's only 3 times per week but it's three times per week from 9am-11am and school two times per week. The days we also have appointments are just miserable. Today we had to meet with our lawyer and Gracie had a dentist appointment on top of the therapy this morning. This is our every week. By the time the evening rolls around we are just exhausted day after day. I've always found strength and kept going  but at what point will we not be so busy like this? I want the kids to start fun activities like dance or gymnastics this fall so it's only going to add to the problem and the kids will be going to school three days a week in the fall. See, no break. And if I'm so exhausted I know the kids are. I don't know.. I guess I'll just be thankful for this season in our lives because I know we are so blessed to be where we are and I'm just so thankful I have healthy kids.
I can't believe they will be 3 years old in three months. It seems so unreal. Time to start planning their birthday!! I LOVE planning parties for them :)
