Never did I think my life could change SO much when we started having children. I read all the books that said it would and knew they were right to a certain degree...but boy was I wrong. Everything shifts, and the things you thought were important in life take a spot in the back of your life. And before you know it..you don't even realize they have been missing. Sure there are days I wish I could sit in Barnes and Noble for hours and drink my coffee and browse, or I wish I could jump in my car at a moments notice and head to wherever I thought was important at that moment. And I do get those chances....just not as frequently. And I find now that when I'm at those places I was dying to go to...I want to get back home to these guys. This is what it's all about to me now. Drew and I have this amazing responsibility to raise these guys to be everything God intended them to be and more. Some days the weight of that is really heavy and others it isn't......and that is parenthood. So far it's been an amazing ride, and although there may be a few more dips and turns that we may have liked...we are here for it all and can't wait to see what's ahead for these three little people. And so thankful we are along for the ride. I love you Caleb, Grace, and Madeline and I am so thankful you are mine!!
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
