Thinking...

You know...I was just thinking about something - and felt like telling my blog-o-sphere. And that is...

Life really is so incredibly beautiful. And God really is so good.

As I am laying on my stomach, watching a stupid movie with the most amazing future husband one could ask for, listening to one of my incredible babies snoring away on the monitor, thinking about a conversation I had on the phone this afternoon with my irreplaceable mom, I realized - everything in my life feels exactly how I want it.

and here are a few of the reasons why

- My children are the most amazing one could ever be blessed with. I am privileged just to be a part of their life.

- Karl, the man I will spend the rest of my life with - got out of bed, just to buy me tylenol last night - at midnight. He ruined my favorite pair of pants this morn (dont worry - I saved them) - and promised to pick up cans on the side of the road to replace them...in a love note. He loves my children - they are no longer my children - they are ours. And - my parents approve. Karl giving me a dirty look at the children's muesum
- My mom and I are getting along like I always imagined. She is becoming more then a mother - but a best friend. Mom is pictured here - She came to the hospital without me even having to ask just the be there for us.

- My dad...is my dad - blood or not, last names are not. A man that could have just been a step dad...but choose to be my dad.

- I graduated college. Yes - me - I did it! I have a degree - and am 2 student teaching semesters away from graduating college AGAIN. To follow my dream and make a difference - and I am succeeding.

- I am surrounded by amazing friends, that I never have to be anything but me around.

And most importantly -

- I serve a God that loves me unconditionally, in my highest highs and lowest lows.
