My role model, cheerleader, the woman I aspire to be. My mother, my best friend. I love you!

To my Mom, Mom-in-law, Gram and all you Mom’s out there. Thank you to all the women in my life that make me a better Mom! 

On our way to Disneyland!

Thankful that there is still joy in this world.

Guess who is two and a half today?

Amazed that we created this confident little girl.

For the past 7 months I have been in pain. And it wasn’t until a month ago that I finally was properly diagnosed. And for 6 months I felt sorry for myself. Why me I thought. And then we had a disaster in our new home. And I was just beside myself. Why is this all happening?

But why not me? Everything has worked out the way God intended it to. And I truly believe that he really doesn’t give us more than we can handle. Today I feel fortunate that we are all healthy, I have a loving husband, who still compliments me and makes me feel special, family and friends who always come to the rescue, and a beautiful daughter who grows more and more independent and amazing with each passing day.

Although this post may seem a tad on the sappy side, today is a day when through the tiredness and pain, I feel blessed to be alive.
