Today I am thankful for the gift of Motherhood. My whole life, well as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a mother. What I didn't know is that it would exceed my every expectation. The moment I found out I was pregnant, I was in love. The minute Kellan was born, I was a goner...

Everyday, even the challenging ones, has truly been a gift from God. I feel very blessed with the ability to have a child, be a mom, and stay at home enjoying every minute. Nothing could have ever prepared me for the way Kellan would change my life, and the way I live it. Today and Everyday I am thankful to be a mom.

Thursday-

Today I am thankful for the little things I take for granted. A family who loves me, a roof over my head, never wanting for food or clothes, the love of an amazing man, the smiles and sweet touches of a new baby, a car to take me where I need to go, the money to fly home to visit my family. This list could go on and on, but on days like today, I have to pinch myself to see how many gifts I have in my life. Sometimes when life gets crazy or busy, I forget how truly blessed I am. Today I am thankful for the little things.

Today I am thankful for technology. Yes, I know this one sounds silly, but without the internet, and cell phones, I highly doubt I would be able to survive one deployment - let alone this one 6 deployments later. The phone calls and emails from my husband keep me going on a daily basis. I know for a fact it is the same way for him.

Every deployment because of these little advancements to our lives, my husband and I communicate in ways we don't get to when he is home, and it is because of this that we love each other more and more each day. Not to mention that now I can send Rob his Daily Smile from his sweet son, and he can hear him babble over the phone thousands of miles away. I love my husband, I love his letters, and I love his voice, and so today I am thankful for technology.

Xoxxo,
