Who out there does not remember the joy of playing tug of war as a child. How is that a childs game is also so often used to describe such an unwanted feeling in adult life. I feel as though the last bit of my life has been such a tug of war.... so many trials, manytimes overshadowed by the outragous joys and blessings. As I stood in the shower this morning I realized that although the trials are not wanted the joys that I have in my life right now are so wanted. Just my thought for the day...
A few of the joys are things that I thought I would share. This past weekend was spent with Robert, his son Noah and my most previous BooBoo Riley (the one nickname that Paityn consistantly says she likes.) We ran errands, did homework, got Paityn ready for her Father/Daughter Dance, watched movies, laughed, laughed and had so much fun.
So, I am OBVIOUSLY really bad at finishing what I start.... I started this post on February 8th and just discovered that it was never finished or posted. I decided to not worry about finishing it, but as I reread what I wrote I liked the thought about the tug of war and decided I wanted to post it. I hope you all enjoy.

The Beginning
So, it is very obvious that this is a new blog for me. I am sure that if you are reading this blog then you received an email from me about its beginning. I hope that this leads to many adventurous posts and as many laughs for you as it will for Paityn and I.
I have to start by making sure that the title of the blog is understood. I think the SENNsational part is obvious. As my divorce will be final in the next couple of months, hopefully anyway, I am going to be returning to my maiden name of Jenifer Senn. I am JenSenn and always will be. Paityn has questioned several times what happens with her name. It is hard to explain to a child about the whole name change thing, but I have faith that she is finally understanding. Although she is legally Saldana, she is a Senn through and through. We are two Sennsational ladies. Now the AND... all that means to us is that God has a great plan for us and each day we wait to see what that plan is. Today it might be two Sennsation ladies and their dog. Tomorrow it might be two Sennsational ladies and their broken car. The idea is that each day is an adventure where we never know what God has in store for us.
Please know that as you read or don't read this blog it is a place for Paityn and I to be the women God is making us to be. There will be days when I am less then perfect. There will be days of venting, rejoicing, laughing, crying... I am nearly certain of it. The most important thing is that as you read this you realize that as much as I put my thoughts and feelings into form on this page, God is ever working on my heart. He will change them the moment that I write them. He will teach me through my own words. In some ways, I can't wait to see how he uses my fingers as a tool to my heart. I hope you enjoy that learning adventure with me.
I love each and every one of you and can't wait to see how God uses each of you in our lives.
