Mama's happy man...















Yes, mom I am working on my Cosmo cover...

Pure Joy

I realize it has been awhile since I was able to blog last - I had promised myself that this wouldn't happen - but nonethless life sometimes creeps up on you when you aren't paying attention. I have spent quite a bit of time in the last week reading other people's blogs - thanks Corie you know a lot of amazing and special people - and it has really made me put life in perspective. Simply put - I love my life - I don't have the biggest house or even a clean one at the moment - I don't have a lot of fancy clothes or jewelry - I don't have a lot of material things that I may want someday - but I have everything that I need. I have the most wonderful husband - who can make me smile with a simple look or a one word reference to a memory we've shared together. He makes me a better person. He is the reason I get up in the morning - he makes me feel special at all times of the day. If he could have it his way I'd never wear makeup and a raggedy old t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts will do just fine. He'd like it if I let him control the TV more often - but beyond that he always tells me he doesn't have any complaints and to be really frank in moments of weakness he admits that he loves "So you think you can dance" too. He loves me - 100% - he loves me more than all the stars in the sky... He is my best friend, my inspriation, my hero and the love of my life. He is an incredible father and the person that the good Lord made to be my perfect life partner. We are working really hard at creating a love that will last through this life and into eternity. I don't know if I tell him often enough - but this is a start : ) On top of that I was graced to get to be a mother two times over. I have a lot of friends struggling with getting pregnant or who have lost a child and I often wonder why did I get lucky. But, rather than focus on that I focus on little things like the most perfect color of Addison's hair or the way that I can settle Jackson down more so than anyone else. My babies are beautiful and I am blessed to be their mom. They make me so very happy - Brian and I started a family and they have completed it. I love every little thing about them - I love that Addison speaks the clearest when she is angry, just like her mommy or that Jackson invents new sounds every day. I love that they are both in the 95 percentile in everything, height, weight and head circumference - no wonder they were both born by C-section...lol. I love them big and deep - and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life showing them just how much. I know I am being sappy today - but I just needed to state that even in moments of adversity and weakness I really do love my family....my loves...my life.
