My dear friend Amber reminded me that I have a blog. So much for updating daily, eh? So Amber love, this one's for you! ;)
Today I realized that tomorrow (Saturday as it is now early Friday morning) will be mine and Brandon's 5 year anniversary (not our wedding anniversary. That one is in June). I swear the time sprinted away from me. Back then I had no idea what direction my life would go in. I was torn between my past and my future. Torn between going back to what I knew, or moving forward into the unknown. It was scary moving on. It was scary moving on so quickly. So many things could be different and I am so thankful that I am where I am, and that I am sharing my life with Brandon. I still think it's too good to be true. 5 years and I still feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world. This man has given me the greatest gifts anyone could ever give another person. His first gift was confidence. Something I was lacking when we met. Confidence fallowed by unconditional love. The truest, purest, most innocent love I had ever seen or felt. Then he gave me security and support. He is my biggest fan, and I am his. His fallowing gifts were our children. Our amazing daughters that only he could have given me (he and God, that is). He guards my heart well, that man I love.
The fruits of our marriage are growing like weeds. Miss Haylie Raye is such a burst of sunshine. I delight in her. She is so smart, so creative, so funny and so nurturing. She adores her sister. They are like peas in a pod. Truly inseparable. I can't believe that in 3 short months she will be 3 years old! I feel like she's a fish in my hands that I can't hang on to. At the rate time is flying, I would not be surprised in the least if she were to graduate high school tomorrow, for I'm sure when that day comes it will feel like she was my little baby the week before.
Alexis is changing so rapidly. She is almost crawling, cracking her third tooth, and babbling like mad. I look forward to watching her personality grow, and I am curious how it will mesh with Haylie's. There is no way that she was born almost 8 months ago. And that is 8 months of easy breastfeeding! I am thrilled that there have been no complications though the odds were stacked against us, what with the c-section and her acid reflux. I have no doubt that we will make it to her first birthday, if not longer! Yes, I said longer =) We will see where we stand when we get there.
I am so blessed with my beautiful little family. I don't thank God for them nearly enough.
I have been 'crafting' more lately. Shout out to my best friend, Alyssa, for giving me my sewing machine. I have been using it every day this week be it mending clothing, creating clothing or making a pillow doll for Haylie. I also made Lexi a few hair bows. I am still a newbie at it, but they didn't turn out so bad.
Anyway, I think that is all the update for now. Hopefully the next post doesn't take me this long to write.
ah, you are beautiful. It is so wonderful for you to say how much you love your husband. Its not that often you hear this anymore. A few more months and Brandt and I will have been married 2 years. I look up to you, both of you. and that gives me hope. :) oh, and those little ladies. I jokingly (well half-way) beg for some of my own. but in due time. anyways. i have to jet. but ily. :) God bless
