Mother's Day

I'm living out my purpose every single day.  At least in this phase of my life.  I have never felt so confident that I'm doing exactly what God has planned for me.  And it's an amazing feeling. 

These four are everything to me on this earth.  My husband is beyond amazing at supporting me as a mom.  Being a mom has taught me more about myself than I could ever have imagined.  More than I learned in college working on my BS and MA in elementary education.  More than I learned in six years of teaching.  It's has been the hardest thing I've ever done.  And it's definitely the MOST rewarding and fulfilling thing I've ever done.  There are times I still can't believe my day job (ok, 24 hour job!)  is spending time with these three.  Unbelievably blessed. 

I am very thankful for my mom and all she has done for me and continues to do.  She is always there for me when I need to talk and she loves our kids unconditionally.  My brother was busy finishing up field work, so his girlfriend joined us for lunch.

Not too shabby of a picture with 6 kiddos 5 and under!

I also got to celebrate with my grandma.  She is a very special lady.  She has always been involved in my life and still continues to be in my family's life.  Her brother and his wife were in from out of town, so we got to spend some time with them, too. 

 

Thanks for a wonderful Mother's Day!
