The Sweet Life

Sometimes it feels a bit strange to realize that I am an adult.  You would think the husband, two children, and house would be a pretty good indicator.  So here I am all grown up surrounded by this fantastic family.  I am not sure how I got so lucky to be partnered with such a wonderful person who accepts, loves, and challenges me.  I thoroughly enjoy his friendship and his amazing ability to say in one sentence what it has taken me an hour to say.  I have two healthy and reasonably happy children.   We live in a comfortable and safe home in a wonderful neighborhood.  Bottom line I am feeling pretty friggin lucky.

I always knew I wanted to be a mom.  It may not have happened exactly the way I envisioned, but it has turned out to be more than I could ever imagined.  It is more challenging, more full of love, more exhausting, more silly, more gooey, and more wonderful.  I am full of gratitude on this Mother's Day for being given the gift and privilege of guiding these two sweet souls through the world.  

Happy Mother's Day!
