5 things.

My mind is going so fast, but I just wanted to slow down for a minute and write 5 things. 




1. I don't know how my mother did it. She raised all 6 of us kids and still has her sanity. My mother will always be my inspiration. I know that I have funny quirks that I gained from her. Like when I think I can make just about anything from what I have at home and not go buy the right ingredients. (Remember cottage cheese eggs?) I love her. I miss her too. But I know that when we get to spend time together again it will be so much sweeter. 

2. Michelle my sister, she is amazing. I have always looked up to her and will continue to do so. She's been the best big sister to me and she is a wonderful mother. She just had her new little baby girl. I sometimes miss hanging out with her and watching James Bond or Doris Day. But--despite it all-- I am glad I have those memories to hang on to forever.

3. I think the one thing I miss most about hanging out with my dad is talking politics with him. My dad and I would ride in together to work and school and he would listen to politics. The thing I really appreciated about my dad is that he would stop and explain things to me if I had questions. I learned a lot from Rush, but I learned a whole lot more from my Father. 

4. Autumn my sweet daughter-- you are the joy of my life. Sure these hard days come when sometimes I just want to give you away. But, you looked so cute in your little bunny jumper today: the one with the hood and bunny ears. I loved it when the only way to get you to stop crying today was to scoot you around on the floor by your feet. Oh the things mothers do.

5. Adam my sweet husband. You are my rock. When times are rough and we both have had a bad week, I hope you remember that I married you for ALL eternity. I know that we'll have those days when all we want to do is quit... but there will be a day of rest from it all. We just have to hold out. I love you. I am so glad you are mine.


I hope you enjoyed this post. :) Remember to slow down once in a while. Life is crazy, but if you have people to love, it's all worth it.
