First - there is Stevi and Brandon, not to forget Gigi! Tomorrow begins a very exciting season in their lives. Stevi and Brandon, well actually Stevi, will give birth to their first child - Brazos. A most unique name for what I'm sure will be a most unique little boy. They begin the chapter of being new parents. I wish them love and blessing and little blue socks! Gigi, aka Gina, I can't forget you. I know you will love and hug and oooh and coo all over this little boy.
To Natalie and Meghan - who are in their junior year of high school. They are beginning to become independent young women. These two young ladies have been raised by Godly parents and exhibit that love that has been bestowed upon them.
To Natalie and Meghan's parents - you are beginning a season of letting go. Embrace it - love it - cherish it. Your daughters reflect the teachings and love you have given them. You are blessed!
To the Wild West Household (and extended family) - you are beginning a new life together. This is your time to love and be loved. Enjoy the promise that weddings bring - happily forever after.
To Danielle who is working hard at making us work hard! She keeps us moving and enjoying exercise (who would have thought that exercise is enjoyable?!). Her new business is succeeding and I wish her many years of success!
To Rick and Adam on their move west (go west young men, go west). While we hate to see you leave, family calls. Know that wherever you are, your BW3 buds are here for you. This season of your life will prove most interesting for you I'm sure. Explore and enjoy - and make sure you tell the world all about it!
There are many that I'm leaving out - these are just a few of those that are writing their own new chapters in life. Birth, Wedding, new business, growing up, moves. It is amazing what we do in our lives every day.
While thinking about the new chapters we begin - I realize that it is not just one that takes place, but multitudes of them every day, all day. While my new chapter is "The Boys" getting married - this is just a small part of it. I've grown more introspective, I've realized more and more how much God has directed and been a part of my life, I'm learning that it can't be done by just me and that prayers work wonders.
To all of you who have started that new season, that new chapter and new beginning - take if for all it is. Embrace the opportunities that come your way and let the Footsteps from above guide you.
Love, forever and a day
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here
