Counting my Blessings....

I'm not gonna lie, life these past few months has been really difficult. I have had to face things that I haven't ever thought I would have to face. Through the tears and nights of sleeplessness, I have been able to grasp onto 4 of the most important people in my life. Everyday with them is a blessing. Every time I get to squeeze cheeks, chase on the floor, play a game or two or three, snuggle and watch a video, hold hands, listen to stories, and absorb each and every moment I get with them, its been a good day. It helps me get through some the crap that has come our way. I love that I have these 3 beautiful (and if I do say so myself the WORLDS CUTEST) children I could ask for. I am so blessed to be a mother and a wife. I am blessed to be able to be where I am in life, with those I am with each and everyday. Just thought it was appropriate to express my love and appreciation for the good that there is in my life.

Ummmm, seriously you and your beautiful family should be on the cover of a magazine! Love you!

Waters said...

yes I agree, magazine all the way. And perhaps the money youll earn from the mag cover will help the sh** errrr crap that has been going on. Remember Val, money helps everything!!!!! Shucks I wish I had some.
