Original post title huh? There's really no other way to put it. I look at these little kids and I feel so grateful to have them in my life. I honestly don't know why God allowed me to have them. I have given Him no reason to trust me with such gifts. I saw an article 2 nights ago about a 2 year old boy who was dying of leukemia. I cried my eyes out! That is just what the Lord wanted me to hear after a long day with Jesse. The Lord was telling me to take a step back and realize all that I have. During the hustle and bustle of motherhood it's hard to do; to just sit and think about all the blessings I have. I love Pres. Monson's talk about enjoying each moment. I don't want to wake up one day and realize that my kids are gone and I have hurried them along so quickly trying to get to "me time", that I never stopped to enjoy them. I love and enjoy them so much. I may need reminders sometimes, but I am SO BLESSED! Oh and of course I love Ryan too! Even though he just got after me on Skype for smacking my gum like a cow, he is my best friend and I'm so grateful we get to raise these kids together!
