Triumphant

Today I was able to claim victory over something in my life that has caused a lot of....hmm, stress doesn't seem like the right word but it's the one that's coming to me right now. It's not something that I'm ready to share details about, and I may never be ready to do that, but today I was able to take back a lot of things that were lost to me; things that I have allowed to control my thoughts, my actions, my feelings. No more. Not after today. I am feeling very triumphant, for sure! Giddy almost. I can once again be the Kelly I am meant to be, the wife, mother, daughter, and friend that I was in the past! Ah yes, it's a great day!

On a totally different note, I realized I haven't posted ANY pictures yet to my blog! I love, love, love pictures! Soooo, I'm going to give it a whirl and see what happens.

Here is Cory's reaction to waking up and finding a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room:



I feel a little bit mean because we did all of the decorating after Cory went to bed, but I felt it was in our tree's best interest. I figured if Cory saw us putting things on the tree that he would think it was OK to touch those things, and we're not ready for that yet. So, we decided to do it without his help this year. It really was kind of sad. I would love for him to enjoy decorating for Christmas as much as we do, but this year he's just not ready for it. NEXT year he will be for sure though!
