Well, I guess we'll see how many parts it'll take to get it all written. I only have a certain amount of time and I'm not sure that I'll remember it all in order either.
There has been time after time this past week or so where something would happen and it was a total godincidence. A song would play at just the right time or some other small event would take place.
Well, well, well. It is now November and I am just coming across this. Obviously (or maybe not so obviously) I have NO idea what I was going to write about here. :( Wish I knew

It's been a long time
Wow! I am not quite sure why it has been so long since I last wrote. A funny thing though is that the 3 month day since I last wrote will be the anniversary of my dad's death. It'll have been 7 years. I still miss him very much.
I must take a trip back into time to give some clarification. Growing up I had three "dads." I had a biological father, an adopted dad, and a step dad. To make it as brief as possible...I knew my adopted dad from the time I was 18 months old. He didn't actually adopt me till I was in 3rd grade and then about a year later, they divorced. My mom got back together with her high school sweetheart and he became my step dad. We got along real well for the first few years, but due to some circumstances we had a VERY rough time for quite a few years and I moved out asap. For quite awhile I had nothing to do with him and over time, God began to restore our relationship. God restored our relationship to the point that I started calling him dad for 2 years before he died. He thought the world of me as well. The amazing thing is that God restored my relationship with my biological father as well. He came back into my life about 7 or 8 years ago.
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote of course. Some I can remember some I can not (of course, right?). I went on vacation with my dad at the end of July. That was a lot of fun. Dylan stayed with his dad's mom and I got to have a break and have fun for a few days. It was really nice. We went to Branson, Mo which I haven't been to in years and the last time I had gone it wasn't exactly under pleasant terms. I hadn't been to Sliver Dollar City since I was a toddler. I also went back to school at the end of August. I only had 5 classes to complete my degree. I am taking 3 now and will take the last two in the spring and graduate in May. I ended up experiencing an awesome God moment with someone I used to go to school with. I went to the funeral of the guy who was dating my friend and the two of them introduced me to Dylan's dad. He was only 32. Sad. I went to the Brookfield Zoo with a Dylan, a friend, and her stepson for free (well except the gas to drive). I got tickets to the Dino Alive exhibit through a different friend and Twitter. Then when I invited Shelley and Jeramy to go with, I found out that she's a memeber at the zoo. :) It was awesome!
About a week ago was my birthday and God has been tremendously gracious with me. I have seen His hand over and over recently in ways that have just left me in awe. The funny thing is that the reason I was blogging tonight to begin with was to write about that; however, I felt like I needed to update first since it has been so long and now I am tired. I had fallen asleep next to Dylan and then woke up a little while ago. I have to be up in a few hours and I'd really like to spend some time with God before I go back to sleep. I guess I'll have to finish this later. Hopefully, I'll be able to get this. I have a lot to get done right now.
