Grateful

Lately I've been pondering the MANY blessings I've been given. I am especially grateful to have such a loving and understanding husband. Deven has been and done everything for me. I couldn't ask for more. I am also so incredibly grateful for our precious son, Porter. He is always smiling and goofing off when he wakes up (early morning). I just can't go back to sleep with him kicking me in the stomach and giggling n' smiling while doing it.

There are many days that life seems a little less than bliss, but it's only because I have forgotten to reflect on all that I have, and those people in my life that make it all the more better. Being a mom is honestly the best thing I could have ever possibly imagined. I've never felt this kind of love before, the love I have for Porter, and it's because it's a "motherly love". It's indescribable and impossible to REALLY understand until you're blessed with the miracle of having your own child. Whether it's adopting or bearing your own. I would do absolutely anything for my family. They mean so much to me. And the love I have for Deven, he's everything to me. Again, I'd do anything for him. Lately, I've been quite the butt though, I think it's that time of month. But he's put up with it. Luckily I've got a guy with patience. Haha!

This sweet little town we currently live in has a special spirit about it. We've got wonderful neighbors and such fun family members living in the same area with us. We truly are blessed to have family. They've helped out IMMENSELY! Whether it's inviting us over for games and dinner, watching Porter so we can go shopping, to the temple, on a date etc. Whew! Where would we be without them!?

All in all, I am blessed. Thank you to all those who've gone out of your way to help out someone else, you may never really know how much your efforts are really appreciated, but I assure you, it's probably made someone's day that much BRIGHTER:)
