5 years later and...... i'm baaaaaaack!
i don't know why it took me this long. i have been thinking about writing again and i kept waiting for the perfect moment and so many have already passed. i wanted my "come back" to be something especial, but everyday is especial, there is always something to remember and good to share.... so now, here i am again.
as i read my last post i realized that life looks so different now, and yet similar in many ways.
we ended up moving to Edmonton, AB for law school. we spent 3 years there. i must admit i love that city. even with the snow and the cold, super cold days. we had two more babies there. i found a new love in gardening, met amazing people and made unforgettable memories.
since Mr. Clarke has finished school and he has now joined the professional world, we have moved to Spruce Grove.... and if i loved Edmonton, i love Spruce Grove even more! you might think we love everywhere we have lived in. and that is true (except for nanaimo, i wasn't too sad to leave nanaimo), but so far this is my favorite.
i don't really like our house that much, but love the neighborhood, love the schools, the teachers, the kids, and love love love our ward. so many good people, and lots of families our age, with lots of kids like us and their kids are the same age as ours too. we fit! it feels really good.
there has been a lot of growing up in the last 5 years. too much to summarize in a post. but i also struggle with the same insecurities, and i am still trying to get over bad habits and learning to love life no matter the circumstances. things that haven't changed and are still a work in progress.
Thomas S. Monson said this and i believe it. because only by faith and because of faith something great can be made of us.
i have a long road to what i can be, who i can become, but i keep trying.
one day at a time.
