I turned 33 on Friday.........what a year!!! Where do I begin...this past year has been amazing. I honestly have nothing to complain about, I have my health, a job, a roof over my head, I'm married to an incredible man who happens to also be a dear friend, and I have two boys that are the light of my life!!!!!
I have realized several things about myself in this past year.......first, that kids may keep you young, but they also age you about 10 years the first year....second, money is DEFINIATELY not everything and that my family and time with them has become my number one on list of priorities........third, GOD IS SO GOOD, I knew this already, but with kids, I realize it more and more every day.........fourth, that last 10 pounds from childbirth IS really hard to get rid of......fifth, it's GREAT to be a blonde, even if I have gray hairs, I haven't noticed.......sixth, BOYS are way more "into things" than girls......seventh, if you only have one child, then no, you don't understand.........eighth, pray for your children daily, and pray for wisdom for you and your husband daily.................ninth, thank God daily for your spouse, even if you are mad at them.........tenth, thank God for relatives, especially those that are watching my kids..........................and eleventh, thank GOD FOR GRANDPARENTS who can just laugh at our moments of melting down because of our kids; they are now having ALL of their prayers answered, by God re-paying us for everything we ever did!!!!
My most precious birthday gift from Rhonda and Kimberly.....................they, while watching the boys on Wednesday, allowed Brady and Hayden to make me a birthday cake..............and during this process took pictures. They had left for me on Thursday, an album with photos, a picture from the cake bake framed and enlarged and the actual birthday cake. I will add photos....I'm having to have them bring their camera tomorrow so I can download them........stay tuned for them!
