It's so true when they say that the things you have to work the hardest at in life, will be the most rewarding. I've never known happiness like I do now that I'm a mom, but there are often days when it's SUPER hard! But once one of my kids smiles at me, or does something cute it makes everything I'm doing at that moment all worth it. I truly love being a mom, it's the greatest blessing. I'm grateful for such amazing examples in my life that help me to know how I can be better. I fall short so many times every day. But I also pray daily that I can be more patient and loving to the kids and Andy, because it can be hard to do when the house isn't clean, and the laundry is piled up to my chest, and the dishes aren't done, and so on...But I know I will be helped by my Heavenly Father if I just do my best, and always rely on Him. I'm so grateful that Andy has made it possible for me to stay home with the kids. He really works so hard to give us everything we need. I love him so much. I'm getting to live out my lifelong dream of being a mom...growing up that's really all I ever wanted. I love the family I have, and never knew that I could experience this much happiness.
