I can't type a formal prayer, I really do it in my own way. This is nothing that can be given over Sunday dinner, or that would be said aloud in church. But this is me, and this is how I think when I feel spiritual, and connected to God.
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life we forget to remember these will one day be "the good ole days" I look back on the college days, which were full of stress, but I just remember and miss the good times. All of the long work hours, long studying hours, and financial stress are forgotten. I remember friends, parties, dating Brian, and the first taste of freedom. I know that one day I will look back at this period of our lives and remember how awesome it was while these little babies are babies. I won't remember the stresses that go along with all of it.
How awesome to be aware now that whether I always feel that way or not, this is the time of my life. Take a step back, look at everything you do have, and appreciate it, love it, and know this is as good as it gets, and it is good. It is more than good, it is wonderful. I am thankful for this day, with my people, with all of the blessings that life has brought me, and that have been given to me from Him.
Thank you.

Blake and I talk about this often. As you know....I have wanted to be a mom for a very long time....and I am enjoying every moment if it. I forget that I have not slept all night in almost four years....and that things are saggier than I ever thought possible. :). I thank God for early mornings, late nights, middle of the night feedings, more laundry than I can keep with, and for sippy cups and crumbs in the craziest places. I am thankful for chubby hands, apple juice kisses, and more hugs and kisses than I can count! Enjoy and give those babies some love from me.
