Happy Anniversary :)

Well today yes Thanksgiving Day is our 4 year Anniversary! I just wanted to take a minute to tell Jonathon how much I love him :) I'm so very grateful for everything he does for me. Jonathon is the best husband and I know I don't tell him enough. He is such a huge help to me and is constantly doing things around the house to help me out. He is such a hands on dad and Alexis loves him so much :) Jonathon works so hard to make sure that Alexis and I have the things we need, and I am truly grateful. My husband is very talented and taught himself to play the guitar at a very young age, and can play anything. Jonathon has always written songs as well, and I can't even believe the songs he comes up with. He can write a GREAT song in about an hour.. it is crazy. His home teaching companion has a recording studio is his home, and Jonathon went and recorded a song the other day, and it is AWESOME!! I am very very proud him :) I love you so much babe!! Happy Anniversary...

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
