Motherhood

  I wanted to take a time to talk about being a mother since Sunday was mothers day. If you would have told me 5 or so years ago I would be a mother, I might not have believed you. I hate to admit this aloud, but I even made it clear to Tim that I was never 100% I wanted to have kids. I'm not sure why, I guess I wasn't "ready" or not sure I could do it. I knew that if I brought a child into this world I wanted no doubt in my mind it was what I wanted. I didn't want to have children just because it was the "next step" in our life. Well obviously one day I decided I truly wanted a child. Now to fast forward ;)

  I can truly say without a doubt in my mind Riley is the best thing that has happened to me. You never truly realize how much children change you and you hope it is for the better. I really believe she has made me a better person. It has taught me first and foremost how to truly love someone. It is amazing how much you love a child. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me that and it is so true. I would do anything for her and sacrifice everything for her. Being a mother is amazing. I wondered if I would like being home with her, if I would long for a career and something else. Granted I'm doing some small business stuff on the side still, but it's enough to make me keep me busy, plus her. I love being home and taking care of her. I feel so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom.

  I love having a family and cannot wait to have more kids. So in celebrating my first official mothers day here is a picture I took last week of my two loves. :) Happy Mothers Day!
