The True Story

I am here to tell you my reality. Each day I realize more and more who I am and what my life is totally about. It's so funny how our priorities change as we get older and we find ourselves forgetting what we thought was so important in high school. Here are the things that I have learned recently:

Josh is the love of my life. I do not think that there is another person on this huge planet that would be a better fit for me. I can't believe we have been married for almost four years. He gets me, you know? You know that someone really loves you when they are never embarassed to claim you no matter what you do. Here we are at my parents house on Christmas Eve. I love you Josh.

Another item:

My husband is a little child in a big persons handsome body. And when I say this, I do not mean it in a bad way. I love him because he loves children and he is easily pleased. Also, he shows kindness to every person he meets regardless of who they are and looks at the world with optimism and hope. He could play for an hour with a bottle of bubbles which also means that he is happy just sitting home and watching a Disney movie with me and eating ice cream cones.

Thanks for the bubbles mom! This is Josh on my parents back porch playing while I was inside making cookies with my sister Sarah. Love it!

Another thing: Family is everything to me. NO matter what, they love me, support me, encourage me, laugh with me, cry with me and at the end of the day, they are all I care about. I am so blessed to have such an amazing faithful and talented family. I especially love my siblings. I am so proud of them and wish I could be there to see there every achievment.

Here I am with my sister Sarah making our annual sugar cookies. They were so delicious.

Last of all, I have been hesitant to post pictures of myself because due to many circumstances with health and changes in lifestyle, I am not the tiny little person that I was the day that I graduated from high school. And my reality is.....this is who I am right this moment which doesn't mean I will be this way for the rest of my life and I can't hide my life away and pretend that it isn't who I am. I know that my friends and family love me for how I treat others. I am happy, enjoying student teaching and loving my husband. That's what counts! Hope you survived through this journey of a post. I love my life as simple and unglamorous as it may be!
