So Grateful

This is going to be a quick, short post. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for my family and the joy they bring to my life. Sean is such a wonderful husband. I am so grateful for his listening ears...I know that I talk a lot and I am so grateful that he's always there to listen to me and even give me advice. He's my very best friend and I am so glad we are married. I don't know how Sean and I ever managed without our little man Owen in our lives. I was thinking about it today when Owen was napping. I remember all the free time we had and always trying to figure out what to do with our time before Owen was born. Ever since Owen's been around, we have never really had to think about that at all. I actually find myself trying to figure out when I can do little projects because I don't have enough time in the day anymore! :) I love it! (well, except when my house gets messy) I just love Owen so much. He's such a blessing and watching him grow and learn more everyday just brings tears (of joy) to my eyes. A child really puts things into perspective. We don't need to have beautiful furniture, fancy dishes or a lot of decorations...we don't need to make sure our clothes are up with the latest fashions...we don't need the latest gadgets or movies...we don't even need to have the biggest bank account...we just need to be there for Owen and he's happy. It's such a cool feeling knowing that there's someone in this world that thinks the world of you and passes no judgement. Even after time-outs he still hugs us and wants to make us smile! I love being a mother...it is the most rewarding and challenging and fun experience ever! I have learned so much about myself and life ever since he's been here. He's not even two and he's already teaching me so much. I know that it'll get harder and he'll probably not like me someday, but I know that he'll always love me and that our family will be together forever. I just love my family!
