To Chelsey

I've been called out by my good friend Chelsey about the famine of Reeder family blog posts in the last month.  So this one's for you Chel.  I love you!  Thanks for being such a salt of the earth, true to the core, belly-laugh funny friend.
We've been doing well.  September has passed with nothing too crazy going on.  Just living the dream here in Merced.  It's still pretty hot out here, but should cool down to the 80s soon enough.  I'm on a Softball team that has been a riot.  I look forward to each game.  I play 2nd base- which, let's be honest- I'm rockin it. We are 3-3 right now.  I have games each Friday night for a few more weeks.  Mitchell has been bustin' my chops lately, but I think it's because he needs to get out of the house more.  However, we stay pretty busy, but I guess I'll have to make more of an effort with kid-centered activities. 
Todd is keepin' on-keepin' on with his constant juggling act between school and research.  He's always a champ at maintaining a good balance and always makes his family feel like we are number one. 
We still miss Season everyday.  Unfortunately, I think I've hashed through every feeling and every thought that could be.  However, I welcome anything that reminds me of her.  I know for certain I will see her again, and I've let that peace settle with me.  That is a welcome feeling.  I denied it for a while in my grief.  And while I still have some feeling of grief, I'm okay with the peace of trusting in God's love for me and Season.
By the way, Pinterest is the greatest website ever built.  
Bye bye for now, thanks Chel for caring about our lives enough to ask!  Talk to you soon.
