Back again!!!

  I forgot all about this blog. 100 percent, completely forgot. It's been 7 and a half years since my last post, and while I'm so sad to not have stories and pictures and content from the past 7 years written down in this space, I forgot all about it for the wonderful fact that I was very busy enjoying all the moments and all the memories and all the goodness and love and laughter and kisses and all the precious family-ness with Andrew and our sweet boys. Our life has been dripping with the goodness and kindness of our Lord. And we've been soaking it in, knowing that the days are so fleeting.

    And then, randomly, I remembered about this blog a few evenings ago as I've been working on making photo albums (my summer goal), and I started reading through all my old posts. And each post has brought such joy and smiles and tears and happy crying and memories have come flooding my mind! It has been such a JOY to have the content on this blog to read through. It is absolutely priceless the stories captured here at Meadelife! It has been a treasure trove of goodness to my mama's heart to read through the precious little years. I'm hoping to print out my blog with Tim from Istanbul and have a set of volumes with the stories and pictures from our family. So, with a renewed sense of how fast it all goes, and with eternity stamped on my eyeballs, I want to get back to blogging for the simple reason that it will continue to leave a legacy of the goodness of God in our lives. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!! In the meantime, I will do my best to write digital copies (here in this blog) of some precious, precious  written content that I have saved from over the years. My lack of blogging or social media over the past 6 years in no way represents a lack of interest in my part of preserving family memories. O, contraire. My lack of digital footprint is solely bc I've have loved, loved, looooooved my life with these menfolk and I couldn't bring myself to tear myself away from them to simply come to the computer. When given the option, I will 10 out of 10 always stay present in the moment with my guys. But ... it goes so. so. so. so fast. I think I will remember everything and in fact, I remember nothing. So, I'm here with happiness and joy and hope and love and all things sunshiney and hope to fill our home and our lives with precious memories that will continue to build our bond closer as our days fly away faster!
