Bedtime

As Brecken and I are sitting here having his bedtime milk and he is playing with Momma's hair. By the way this is the best part of my day; some cuddle time with my little man. I began to think about how blessed my life is. I had to give a ride at the shop today to a man that was 80 years old. He was talking about how short this life has been; about how quickly his 80 years had gone. The saying goes Life isn't about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away. I have had those wonderful moments in my life and just wanted to take some time to reflect on them. The moment I became a Christian, finding the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with and the blessing of becoming a mom are the ones I treasure most. I don't want to EVER take for granted that God has blessed my life beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. I have been so blessed to have an amazing family and friends that I love very dearly. I have got to share in many breath taking moments in others lives as well. One of the most special times for me was getting to be there...well outside the door when my neice Darby came into this world. I can't tell you what I felt in that moment. My baby sister became a Mom and I got to be there for that special moment. I just wanted to say to everyone that reads this...don't miss the moments! The moments come and go too quickly so cherish the moments that take your breath away!

Both of the kids are beautiful! Its odd to me that Jordan and his friends are becoming parents. I know how fast Jordan grew up. Definitely live in every moment.
Blessings to you and your family.

I was so excited to see your comment. I love that I can keep up with your sweet family. I appreciate your kind words, that means a lot to me.
Funny story: We ALMOST named our Noah, Brekin. At that time, I didn't know of anyone by that name, but now I've heard of/met several. It is such a cute name! Your kids are precious!!!
