There are a few different reasons why I switched blogs and made the other private. One of those reasons being my Dad. He knew about much that was going on in my life. Whether I wanted him to or not. But I wanted to try and control some of what he knew. I wanted to make sure the people who read our story wasn't going to give him everything. Which had been happening before. I wasn't trying to hide. I didn't feel I needed to protect myself or my family. but more it was my only way to feel some control over a relationship I very much felt no control over. Every time I thought, talked or imagined my Dad I was a 9 year old girl again and had no voice. So being able to not let him into every single part of my life was a way for me to hold control.
Anyway- I have not decided whether to go back to just 1 blog, keep both, I really don't know. I will keep blogging because this is my way to document our life. To record our everyday and now to keep family involved in our everyday when we live so far from them.
Until I figure out how or if I will merge my blogs I wanted to share some of the GOOD that is still very much in our life.
Makenzie's Birthday.
We were so lucky to celebrate her here in Washington with some of our amazing friends.
It ended up being an amazing party and one I will forever remember.

I do not know the story of your dad, and understand the need to be private about parts of your life. Before you made your blog private, I read it faithfully. When you occasionally post here, it reminds me to pray for you!
I am glad you are back. I have followed your blog for a long time and I just love your writings! Take care.
I know you don't know me but I have read your blog for a while (before you went private) and I still keep you in my prayers. ((hugs))
It's nice to see you back. I really loved your post because I stopped blogging and discontinued my social media accounts due to comparison and spending too much time in front of the screen. It is far easier to get caught up in how great someone else's life looks and miss out on how great your life is. I do miss having a bit of an outlet on my blog, however, my husband does not want pics or anything of our children on the blog and that was mainly what I blogged about. A real look into mommyhood and life. I love how real your blog is and I love stopping by to see how you and your family is doing.
