Mothers Day

 "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother." -- Abraham Lincoln

I learned what I know about motherhood from my mom. I have a great mom. A mom who loves me indefinatley. She has always been there for me. Regardless of where life took me, one thing I always knew was that my mom loved me. I hope that my children will feel the same way about me. She constantly has been a beacon of support. She was at every softball game, even driving endless hours to be there. She is my greatest friend, you never outgrow the need for your mom. I hope to be half the mother she is to me! I'm grateful that I get to call her mom!

This Mothers day was great!  I am grateful for this privelage that is mine, that of being a mother.  Heavenly Father blessed me with this sweet little girl who has forever changed my life. 

I cried when I found out I was pregnant.  They weren't tears of joy (although I was happy..)  I was terrified.  What on earth was I going to do with a baby?  I was selfish.  Concerned about the ways she would change my life.  That feeling soon passed and I was overwhelmed by what this all meant.  I was so excited and anxious to meet this new baby.  The first time I got to hold her, was the best moment of my  life.  As soon as I saw her I just knew I had the cutest baby in the whole world ;)  I immediately loved her, and have grown to love her in a way that I could never imagine.  I think that love comes through the selfless acts that come with being a mother.  It gets to a point when you are no longer concerned about the late night feedings or loss of sleep because you love this little person more than you could love anything..  Since Tenley has come into my life I am a better person.  I have learned things about myself that I would have never learned otherwise.  It is truly an unbelievable responsibility.  One that I cherish.   This girl makes me smile everyday and I am grateful she is mine!

and come on, how could you not love this face:
