Prepare for One Super Cheesy (But True) Post

I love being a mom. To me, there is nothing better. I can honestly say that from the time I was little, I always wanted to be a mom (even though I also wanted to be a teacher, an archaeologist, or a veterinarian). I have loved children (not infants, mind you, I am not a baby person...don't get me wrong, I adore mine) since I was young and loved to babysit while I was growing up. Now, I get to spend all day every day with my favorite people in the world...my kids. That doesn't mean that they never make me crazy or that I never want to lock them in a closet forever...but I love to wake up every day knowing that I get to be with them. I feel awfully blessed to be able to hang out with such amazing people all the time.

On top of that, I get to hang out with another fabulous group of kids every week....my young women (this is just a few of them). My girls are incredible and I adore them. We had an activity about motherhood this week and I got to see them in action, reaching out to each other, making everyone feel welcome and included. I was so proud of them. We also got to have their moms at this activity, I really look up to several of those women. I hope to be like them one day.

But, I have to say, the best part of being a mom is the incredible partnership I get to share with my best friend and my favorite person in the world, Josh. He keeps me sane when I feel like I am going to lose it and he makes me laugh when I forget that things have a bright side. I wouldn't make it through without him. I am awfully blessed and am incredibly grateful that I get to chill with him, and our brood, for eternity. What could be better.
