Random Joy

You know those moments when you just feel so happy to be alive? well I am smack in the middle of one right now, so I thought I would write about it because too often I forget to bask in all of the good I have in my life. So here are a few things on my mind:

dec 2010

Branden- Man! I dont even know what to say, he is just such a good guy and I am so so lucky to have him. I still get butterflies when I hear him get home. We have not been married for that long, but seeing as it is the beginning of eternity for us, I think these moments will always mean a lot. No matter how crazy things are with two babies and barely enough to get by (haha now I am making myself tear up) Branden is just a truly amazing husband. I love the look in his eyes when I tell him a story. I love when he asks me to explain how to do things like woodworking or my other "expertise" and then how intently he listens and asks questions. I love our midnight ice cream breaks. I love hearing everyday that I am beautiful. I love how much we laugh. How seriously we take each other and never stop saying "I love you." I love when he agrees with me, even when I am totally wrong. I love when he kisses me on the forehead (seriously, never underestimate the power of a kiss on the forehead - its sweet ;) Most of all I love the commitment we have made to each other. He is my best friend, my smartest adviser, my comforter, and my forever guy.

and if that wasn't sappy enough for you...

haha I just think it is important that I write these thoughts down and I am way to lazy to write in a journal

Isabelle- That girl is a ball of fun and love. She is always trying to copy what I do. When I do something new she takes a few minuets to observe and then follows along. She loves me A LOT knowing that such a beautiful perfect person loves and depends on me so much, just makes me strive to be better everyday for her.



Kaylee- I am so happy to have Kaylee in my life! she is such a sweetie and makes everyone smile. She is such a joyful baby! She is the only baby I have ever seen laugh and cry at the same time: cry because she is upset, but laugh because you are holding and smiling at her. She also gets emotional when I sing to her, even though I am really not a good singer, somehow it touches her ;)

I am grateful for all that I have, and yes, I do feel lucky to have the life that I do
