365 days

It is 2am.....and I can tell it is going to be an emotional day for me! What a way to start my day crying already.

365 days ago, my life changed forever....John and I became parents.
When I was a small girl, I didn't day dream about space ships, horses, or fairy princesses. I day dreamed about being a mother. I imagined the kids I'd have, the things they would do and say.

But I never imagined it could be so AMAZING! I'm so thankful for the blessings the sacrifices of motherhood have brought into my life. In fact, although they seem like sacrifices on paper, there is no sacrifice.......I feel no loss or compromise.

It feels like yesterday I was kissing my slimy son for the first time, instantly changed forever....but it has been 365 days! Soon it will be a lifetime. A lifetime of blessings because my son was born!
