My Cup is More Like a Fountain...

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Psalms 23:5

I am at a point in my life where I know without a doubt in my heart that God has given me WAY more than I deserve. Maybe I'm just emotional today (who me? no way!), but when I think of all He has blessed me with, I can feel the tears welling up inside. It's like a bubbly feeling that starts in my heart and then explodes out of my tear ducts. I have an amazing husband. He loves me no matter how crazy or emotional (again, who me?) or needy or demanding I am. He folds my laundry and vacuums the floors. Seriously... what more could you want in a man?

I have two incredible babies. I know it's hard to believe that I could love Ali so much since she isn't mine; I sometimes feel like I'm not suppose to love her as much as Jordan because of what other people think. Without meaning to (I hope), a lot of people don't even mention her when we talk about our kids, as if she doesn't exist simply because I didn't carry her in my belly. That's why I love my family SO much. Every single one of them asks about BOTH of my babies, not just Jordan. Mother's Day really frustrated me this year. I heard so many comments about how it was a special day for me because it was my FIRST Mother's Day. No it wasn't. I celebrated last year too because of Ali. I love her as a daughter in the same way I love Jordan as a son. I love them both more than ice cream and Dr Pepper; that's a LOT of love.

Little baby Jordan, the most beautiful baby boy to ever live and is growing so fast. Too fast! He's more than double the size he was when he was born, and has two lil teefers that really do HURT, so don't stick your finger in his mouth.

I love being a mom, to BOTH my kids. I want to set a good example for them, and that is sometimes a very hard thing to do. I catch myself saying out loud, "Always do the right thing. Always do the right thing." I know Ali hears me, so maybe it'll stick in her brain better than it sticks in mine.

I'm just so incredibly thankful for my family. I couldn't ask for more; God has blessed me far beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
