Mother's Day

Moms day may 8 2016

This is my dream come true. ❤️

I've wanted to be a mom since I was 4. When they asked me in preschool what I wanted to be when I grow up, I answered a mommy. 

I had days- heck even months and years when I cried my aching heart out thinking it's impossible. Then wondering why God would give me such a strong desire to be a wife and mother only to forget me and keep it out of my reach while others around me got it. It felt so unfair.  My heart ached. I never wanted a career but since I had no control over my deepest desire I put my time and talents into whatever opportunity came my way. It's neat now in hindsight to look back on all the places I've been and people I've met while waiting. I've had great roommates and adventures along the way. And now I have a man who shows me every day what it's like to feel treasured. And a beautiful daughter who brings such joy to us. Was it worth the wait? ABSOLUTELY. Maybe not all the heartache, but definitely the wait. I am able to appreciate the gifts I've been given in these two and (most days) selfishly serve them the best I can to help them find and follow their dreams. I am so blessed. 👼🏼❤️😍💕👨👩👧
