Simply Me

I am nothing special.

Just me.

There is always awkwardness, for me, when I have to describe myself. Does the order of my list reveal something in itself?

I do not know. So here goes nothing….

I met my husband when I was 19, he was divorced with two young children. But we hit it off, became friends and started dating a year later in 2008. There is a bit of age difference which made it a little hard for some to accept at first, but we are still going strong after getting married in 2011.

He is one of the most hard working men I have ever met. He makes sacrifices when it to spending time with his family, so he can provide for all of us. He makes it possible for me to stay home with the girls and not miss a moment of them growing up into the little humans, but in return he misses so much. There is not a moment that I take what he does for me and our family for granted.

Together we have four kids.

Our two older children, I share the pleasure of being their mom. Which is a gift that I would not trade for the world. It has had it rough moments, but has been worth every minute. I have been with them for over half of their lives, and watching them grow into the young adults that they are today has been the best. They make so proud of the way that they are with their younger sisters, love and caring for them. I could not ask for a better brother and sister then the ones that they are.

Then there are our two youngest, the greatest gifts my husband has ever given me. Being a lot younger, the only concern that ever really came up in our relationship was the fact that I wanted to have children. He thought that the days of diapers and bottles where something of the past, but he knew how much children meant to me.

Almost two years after we were married we welcomed a little girl into this world and then another almost three years later. So with a three year old and a seven month old there is always plenty to do. My favorite thing, though, is to lay on the floor with them and just watch. Watching them play and interact and the love that they already have for each other makes me so happy for what the future holds. For me as a mom and a wife, for our family and for each one of our children individually, I simply cannot wait to see where this life takes us.
