Okay, I stumbled on the blog of my sister-in-law Brooke, and it made me want to share a few things. This has nothing to do with local politics, or random whining about staying home too much. This is going to tell you about the things I love in my life.
My son. First and foremost. These are really old pictures, but I love them, none-the-less. Shows how much of a goofball my little boy really is. He came along accidentally, but most certainly not a mistake. I got pregnant at a young age and ended up in a bad relationship because of it. However, I wouldn't change any part of it. I love my little boy more than words can express and I wouldn't be who I am today without him in my life. He has saved me in more ways than he will ever know. I love you so much, Jareth! I can't wait to see the man you will grow up to become!
My wonderful husband. Oh my god. Where would I be without this man? He is my best friend, my confidant, my companion, my soul mate, and the love of my life. I can't imagine even living my life now without him. I can't even tell you how I did it before I met him. He brightens every day. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel better about myself than I have in I don't know how long. He makes me feel like together we are capable of anything and everything. Derek, I love you more than words can say. I cannot express how much you mean to me. Hold on to me forever and never let me go. Remember, we're going to die at the same time, in our sleep, in each others arms after we've both gone old and senile. ^_~ I love you so much!!
My family. My dad, my mom, my niece Kristine, Jareth, Derek, my sister Laura, my nephew Lucas, and my brother-in-law Josh. Family is everything and my family has been by me through thick and thin. I love you all with all my heart.
My new family. Brooke and Scott my new sister-in-law and brother-in-law, with boys Payton and Bracken. Cynthia, my new mother-in-law. Lindsay my new sister-in-law. Clint my new brother-in-law (Facebooking at this moment, I imagine) and his daughter Sydney. Thank you all for being so welcoming to me. You have all been so amazing and I can't imagine marrying into a better family.
My pets. Seems silly, I know. But I love them. Cheese, my cat. What a goof ball. This little ball of fur chases me around and grabs my legs when I'm not expecting it. Then he'll attack me when I'm watching TV for no good reason. I love it. And he acts like a dog which makes me laugh. He fetches. It's so funny! Then of course my frogs, A Boy Named Sue and Margaret. Derek won these little guys at Draper Days this year and I love them. They're cute. They don't do much and I don't have to do much to take care of them, and as goofy as it sounds, I think they're cute.
As weird as it sounds coming from me, Christmas. I get to spend time with my family and exchange presents. I love getting people gifts. Especially good ones. It brightens my life in a way that nothing else could.
And sunsets. Oh man. When there's a beautiful sunset like this one, it helps remind me even in my darkest hours that there really is beauty in this world. I can't help but stare and smile when there's a good sunset. It's one of the best feelings.
Okay. I think I'm done for now. I just wanted to share some of my favourite things with you today. I will probably write more later. And Brooke, thank you for inspiring me. I know you didn't do anything in particular, but just seeing your blog with all your pictures made me decide to do this. You're awesome. Thank you.
