I'm back

Today I simply have an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. I’m so grateful for a Heavenly Father that loves me, and knows me, and has such a great life for me to live! I’m grateful that he always knows a better way! I’m grateful that I get to live that life: the heart breaks, the let downs, and the down right, unfair, heart wrenching, sobbing, blows.

I personally enjoy planning out this perfect life I intend on having. I think we all get a little comfy in our lives, and may even tend to be a little greedy without noticing. We start to think we deserve this or that. “Why me?” or better yet, “Why not me?” Sometimes we get carried away, and when things aren’t exactly how we wanted them, like any normal person, we get frustrated, and forget all the wonderful things of life we already have! I never want to get too comfy, that I forget all the good…never.

In my life, I have been so blessed. I have two obsessions. Obviously, anyone that knows me, or has seen my blog, gets it that yes, I am obsessed.

MY SON. Oh my gosh. I can't quite describe the love I have for him. Today I can't quite get enough of him. I sit staring at him, holding him, and even pinch him to make sure he is real. And to my greatest satisfaction, he is. Very real. And more than that, he is healthy, happy, smart, amusing, and so silly. He is alive! He is part of our forever family. He has brought such a beautiful light into my life... What a simple concept, yet one I am so eternally grateful for. I have a son.

MY HUSBAND. My number one. Gosh. I love my dearest husband. He is my perfect everything. I always hear that there is not a "one and only", but my goodness, I can't comprehend someone being better for me, then my dear Chris. There is not another person in this world I could be happier with. I am very convinced of that He leads our family with such a gentleness about him. I have learned so much from him and his brilliant example. He is kind, patient, enduring, loving, forgiving, honest… but so much more than any words, he is my husband, and the father of my J, and what more could I ask for than that?

So cry your heart out, but don't stop there. Wipe those tears away, pat yourself on the back, and thank Heavenly Father for your beautiful life, because even though it may not be perfet, he gave you everything you have...
