Absolutely Blessed

As hard as the day to day might be at times, as hard as we struggle to make ends meet - we are truly blessed.

My babies are beautiful, full of life and spirit and certainly full of strength.

For a bonus on a test, my professor asked us to write down 5 things that we were thankful for. Odd addition to a math test I'll admit, but nice. To take a moment and think of the great things in life help to shove the not so good in their place.

Clark and I are blessed to have each other. We have been through so much in a marriage that is approaching 5 years. I feel blessed to know that no matter what, no matter why, he loves me and supports me. He thinks I am a wonderful mother and I suppose he thinks I'm worth keeping as a wife as well. It's nice to know that no matter what - he supports us and loves us.

I think when you become a mother, you also become a target. The way you do things will never be the way that others would do them. But what I have learned is that you always do the best you can. You always do what's best for your family. There is always someone who will disagree, there is always someone who would do things differently. But that's okay. That's life.

We are blessed to have an amazing family. I venture to say there aren't too many people out there that can attest to the fact that they have family, no matter what side, that drop everything and come to your side. It is because of the love of our family that we have made it through very hard times. It is also because of family that we have a blast through the great times as well.

Today I am loving my large family. From North Carolina to West Virginia, I couldn't have picked a more loving more perfect set of people to call 'ours'.

So today, we are absolutely blessed.
