Must be a dream!

As I sit here late at night I realize all of the AMAZING people and things in my life that I am so very grateful for!! I still can not get over the fact that my mom, at age 50, got on an airplane for the very first time to come see me! Of course I wish it was for a better reason or under different circumstances, but non the less she is here!! My sister is here in California, also to see me for the second time! It is hard going through day to day life without your mom and sister, let alone Breast Cancer! :/ So having my mom and sister here for a week I am going to take advantage of that! I am spending so much time with them, talking and sharing, and just being in the same area as them! My kids have missed them, I have missed them, and even my husband I'm sure has missed them! ;)

So this week even with the weight of my shoulders, my grandmother still being gravely ill, I am going to do my best to soak up the time I have with them! Although my grandmother is seriously ill, I am beyond excited about her progress and so very proud to see a women that is so independent and strong remind us that even in this medical position, she is still the same grandma, mom, sister, and friend! The same one that makes the kids ask for a cookie before she gives it too the, lets the kids run in and out of her house as if it is their house, gives us advice even when the advice may be the truth that we don't want to hear, and the one that everyone turns to for advice, thoughts, and just because! She is an amazing woman that I could not imagine life without!!

My children have also become very independent during this whole process, and it scares me because they grow up so fast, it is gone in a blink of an eye!! My son is turning double digits in just a few months and my daughter is right behind him! Where does the time go!? It is so hard to try and capture all nickford the memories that you swear you'll never forget! Until one day they give you another memory that you will yet again swear that you will never forget! My kids are strong, big hearted, and stubborn, which is precisely why I know that after all is said and done, they will be that much stronger, big hearted and stubborn! Making them beat out the record again for the most amazing children!!

My husband, he is Mr. Mom for sure!! I am sure all of the school moms are jealous of my husbands amazing ability to juggle work, children, kids extra curricular activities, and still have time for me! He is more than I could have ever dreamt I deserved! I truly believe God has blessed me with the most amazing group of people in my life! And I could not have chosen a better husband, or father of my children! And for that I am eternally grateful!
