Loving Life as a Mommy and a Wife

I am really enjoying this part of my life right now. I am finally the woman that I have always dreamed of being...... A Mommy and a Wife.

I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be Kinsley's mommy. I couldn't have asked for a more precious baby. She is seriously the love of my life! I love my husband more than anything but the love for your child is just unexplainable. When she smiles, I smile! When she cries, by heart breaks. When she is frustrated, I am frustrated for her. When she learns something new for the very 1st time, I get teary eyed and can't help but to be so proud of her! My daughter truley holds my heart in the palm of her little hands. I love knowing that she needs me. I know there will come a time when she will "think" she doesn't and that she can do everything on her own but the truth is, you ALWAYS need your mommy, no matter what age you are.

I will spend the next 17 years and 6 months teaching and guiding my child the best I know how. With the help of my husband and advice from family and friends, I know she will make one exceptional woman and we will be the best of friends. I believe so much in this because of how my parents raised me and the relationship I have with my own mother. Every path I have taken in life, in some way has been ran by my mother first. I just always need that one opinion to help me make the decision I need to make. Motherhood is the best gift of them all!

I was a wife for 3 years before I became a mother. Of course then it was all about Jody and I and what we wanted to do. Now, we have no other choice but to put our daughter first before ANYTHING! Before me and before him, no matter what. This is something I do not even think twice about nor do I get mad about. It's amazing how naturally it comes. It's really hard to be selfish as a mommy and a wife. My child's needs come first and then my husband's needs come 2nd. Some people may argue that statement but for me (and for now) thats how it is.

I love being a wife. Not just any wife, Jody's Wife. I love being his #1 supporter in everything he does. I love when he his on a mission looking for something and cant find it, he will ask me and I know exactly where it is. I love that we talk about everything no matter what the topic is. I love that he is the 1st person I call when I have a pointless story to tell. He actually always seems to get a kick out of them. I love that he is proud of me in whatever I do. We are one and we are a team! And I wouldn't have it any other way. He leans on me and I lean on him. We do everything together and every decision that is made for our family we make together. He is my best friend! He is the reason we have such a great marriage. He is a wonderful husband and an amazing father!

This man has given me the life that I absolutely love. He has given me the honor to be his wife and he is the seed that created our beautiful daughter.

With out our Lord Jesus Christ, we would not have any of this.
I thank him everyday for blessing us in so many ways.
