lucky me

Somehow, I get to be one of the lucky ones.

One of the lucky ones in this world who gets a man like you.
A man who understands me like no one else.
A man who sees the good in people and makes the best of a situation.
A man who can make me laugh when I feel like crying.

Lucky me.

To dream with you about the future and God's plan for our family, I don't take it for granted.
I know how lucky I am that we share the same dreams.
I know how lucky I am to be married to a man with a heart for Christ.
A heart that aches to change things for the better.

Lucky me.

With everything in me, I know you will never turn away.
Never give less than all you have to protect your family.
To provide and be a rock for your wife and kids.
To show others kindness.

Lucky us.

And I think we both know that luck has nothing to do with it.

Thanking God for you.
Today and everyday.

Now let's go celebrate #35, big boy... whether you want to or not. :)

Love you long time.

the day they turned five

what a difference five years make.
today was an interesting day.
because i knew daddy couldn't be with us, i hesitated to make a big deal of your birthday today.
but it's just hard not to celebrate two of the most amazing blessings a mama could ever ask for.
i hope you each felt special and celebrated all day long. 
and as soon as daddy gets home from malawi, we'll celebrate again!

love you so much,
mommy

so long, farewell

A bittersweet day it has been. Dora (the explorer) has been traded in for a new girl.
As I scraped and scrubbed the remnants of who knows what off her floors,
I couldn't help but think about how much our family has relied on her over the past years to get us from one place to another.
Our babies have become kids during our time with her.

Sure, I'm beyond excited about our new car and the fact that when I put this new car in reverse,
my kids will no longer think that I am popping a wheelie, but it still makes me a little sad.

Here's to good memories, new beginnings and a water only rule that will be strictly enforced. :)
