So excited to have landed here among all these Moms! I am busy roaming about and being nosey so rather than posting a new blog entry I cheated and stole a recent one from my other blog. Enjoy!

When the dust settles from the day and the quiet starts to wrap it’s unfamiliar arms around my heart I get one of those rare moments to reflect on my life. To see the joys and challenges I am faced with every day. I see more clearly the blessings I have.

My parents are two of the most hard working individuals that I have ever encountered. They sacrificed many things in their own lives to make mine better. To make me successful. They did it with love, kindness, and the selflessness only a parent could know. I respect them. I love them. I hope that when my family is complete, grown, and out raising children of their own they would think of me in the same way. My heart has always longed to tell them my every feeling. I have always wanted to have them understand just how much I love them. I think they know…I try to communicate those words…but I’m not sure you can verbalize feelings like those.

My husband deserves those same talks. He is our family’s provider, leader, and my rock. I could not imagine a more perfect partner for my life. He is funny (yes, I did say funny), kind, loving, and to be perfectly superficial…really cute. He is a wonderful husband, an incredible friend, and an amazing father to our little girl.

Violet is the third blessing that really is on my heart right now. Sometimes I wanna poke her in the eye when I catch her trying to eat the dog food, or trying to dial China on the phone, or chasing me around the kitchen acting like she hasn’t eaten in a week when I know darn well she just ate 647 Cheerios, 1/2 of an apple, a cup of yogurt, a banana, and some cheese. Then she smiles at me with that two toofy smile and my heart completely melts. When I rock her to sleep at night and she curls up on my chest and I can feel her sweet breath on my neck I know that this is what I am meant to be. I am meant to be a Mom.

Having my family, my husband, and my daughter make these quiet times so wonderful. I can just lay in bed and smile up at the ceiling thinking about some of the wonderful people in my life. I love them. I love them with every fiber of my being for all the heart that they possess.
