Week 5: Something Someone Gave You

As I pondered the things I have been generously given throughout my lifetime I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for those who have taken the time to think about me and care enough to choose a gift with me in mind. I have been given so many amazing things throughout my life, all of which I have loved and cherished. Items I truly hold dear to my heart. If I am honest though, there isn't a materialistic item or gift that tops the gift my husband and child(ren) have given me. The gift of being a mother. The gift of knowing unconditional love. The gift of loving someone even more than you love yourself.
I've said it before, but if you would have asked me 5-6 years ago how I would picture my life, two kids and a husband probably wouldn't be included in that answer. Although, I never really did know what I wanted to do with my life, I just didn't exactly picture myself as a mother. Oh, how I thank God for unanswered prayers.
Since becoming a mommy I have learned more about life, myself, and love than I ever imagined possible! Now that I have taken on the overwhelming, exhausting, rewarding role of mom, there isn't anything else I would want to do with my life. I owe it to Zacary for making it even possible for me to be a mom. Not only because he gifted me with our beautiful child(ren), but because I truthfully, whole heartedly mean it when I say I could NOT do it without him. He is my patience when I just can't take it anymore. He is the kid at heart our children need. He plays with Drayze from the minute he arrives home from work until the moment we all go to bed. Some nights I just want to be alone, and he never questions why or makes me feel guilty about it. He takes care of our son by feeding, bathing and putting him to bed without me having to ask. He is an unbelievable daddy, which makes my role as mommy that much more enjoyable. 
In my twenty {almost} five years of life the greatest gift of all is the gift of having our own tiny family filled with tiny little humans who fill our hearts with more love than we could have ever imagined! 
 
He wil always be my baby boy.

Baby #2. Couldn't be more excited to meet this little fella.

  1. Love this! After seeing you as a mama, it's hard to imagine you living your life any other way. You fit the role perfectly and I am so inspired to be a momma like you one day.
