Don't Kick the Chair

Hey guys! Its been a while since I last checked in! Its been really busy latly! This last week was a tough one for us all. Not only was it the anniversary of Leah.. but it was the anniversary of my dads accident and my moms kidney disease.. so all in all it is the anniversary of when all hell broke loose! So its been tough. But we all got through it and are going to continue to get through it together!

I have also come to some realizations this past week! As many of you know, you know it to Carol.. when the Harris Family first moved in me and my brother had a really hard time with it! (I'll leave it at that) And I always thought it was just because we are two completley different families, which we are.. but what I now realize is that it wasn't the "Harris" Family at all! It was what was happening that was freaking us out.. and we took it out on the Harris Family! Any thought of them moving in was related to a terrible time in our lives! Look at it this way..

A week before they move in.. Dad gets in his accident.
The night they move in..  Leah.
A week after they move in.. my Moms Kidney disease.

So either way you slice it.. it was bad all around and they stepped right in the middle of it all. It was just really bad timing! I mean, there was no way of knowing that any of that was going to happen.. but it was just a really bad time in our lives and then Dave and Carol come into the equation and I just decided to take it all out on them! And I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for them! Coming to a whole new town, barley knowing anyone and then getting thrown into these situations!! :0

But as life is starting to take a whole new turn.. I realize how much I absolutely LOVE Dave and Carol! And Mikayla and Eli! We all need each other! Its what family (Stutes and Grover's included) is for! You guys have helped me get through things so much! So I just wanted to take time to appreciate family and friends and realize that life would mean nothing with out you guys!! I love all you guys, even though we all get crabby and snappy every now and again! LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!
