About Me

I love my husband.  I could not have found a better man.  I love his dedication to our family and his support to me.  I love his ability to make me laugh and relax when I (frequently) take things too seriously.  I love talking until late and waking up to notes on my phone in the morning.  I love his care for me as I strive to be a better wife.

I love my kids.  I love their silliness and their honesty.  I love their hugs and kisses and songs and craft projects.  I love their relationships with each other.  I love hearing them giggle together as siblings should.  I love their understanding and patience as I learn how to be a better mom. 


I love my parents.  I love the appreciation gained when I became a parent and realized the sacrifice and love that I never understood before.  I love the support waiting in the wings when I need it.  I love the second set of parents I gained when I got married.  I love the lessons learned as I try to be a better daughter.

I love my brothers.  I love our regular phone calls and inside jokes.  I love the in-laws that have come into my life- two more brothers and two sisters.  I love the  friendship I find as I make an effort to be a better sister.

I love friends.  I love long conversations and thoughtful gestures.  I love the laughs and the tips and the company.  I love feeling recharged after a night out, but also understanding when we just need to be home.  I love extending myself to be a better friend. 


I love people.  I love seeing people grow and change and improve.  I love finding the good in everyone, even if it takes a while to uncover.  I'm not your girl for fantastic craft projects or inspiring photography or a myriad of other talents found online, but I love relating to others and being inspired.  I love the beauty in the struggle to be better.
