Later night tonight. I got invited by Brad to go to the BYU basketball game, which started at 9:00…
I took caleb with me as a surprise, picked him up after soccer practice. It was fun to surprise him and have a boys night out.
I also got to read a great journal entry by Beck. Her mom went home today after being here for about 11 days. Tyson is two weeks old today and I think both Beck and I are a bit scared about how we can manage FIVE kids alone.
But we aren’t alone. We have each other. We have Heavenly Father. And we are living in recovery together one day at a time. I feel grateful for this understanding.
I feel I can’t look ahead too far, only at what I can do right now to live in recovery in this moment.
Tonight was a great night at the game with Caleb. I was aware, kept my chin up, and had a great time with my buddy. It’s times like this that help Caleb and I connect in a meaningful way. I want to do this with each of the kids and feel it’s really important to do.
I feel it’s important that I’m also always thinking about how I can love and support Beck in this transition. It’s a lot of pressure on her, with her jobs and the kids and the stress of a new baby. I want to be here and be aware of things I can do to help. I don’t need to be led around like another kid. Instead, I wasn’t to be proactive and there in the moment of need.
I love my family. I love Becky so much.
I’m grateful for today.
Hasta manana!
Nate
