Wow, this is the year of my 10 year reunion. High school seems so long ago. I made some friends but I really didnt enjoy high school. I ended up homeschooling which I much preferred. But I never pictured my life like this. I wanted to be a wife and a mom. I thought it would never happen. I worked crap jobs that I hated. I dated a couple of people I wish I never had. I was friends with people who turned their backs on me. I never thought life would get any better. Granted those things made me stronger and while I wish it hadnt happened, it did. I cant change that. So I learned from it and moved on. Now, Im married to an amazing husband who loves me for me. Even when I try to control things, act like a complete weirdo, or just want to be alone. He's always there for me and was very helpful while I was pregnant and with Chloe. He's a great dad too. This year, on April 4th, 2010, we will have been married for 6 years. Can you believe it? 6 years!
I am also a mother to miss Chloe. My beautiful amazing daughter who is cute, loving, kissable, frustrating, adorable all in one! She's shown me just how strong God made me. I never thought it would happen. Specially after miscarrying. But it did. As of today, she is 5 months old, 17 pounds, and still growing! She's doing new things all the time and she has the cutest laugh ever. I love watching her nurse, play, sleep, cry, talk, its all so cute. I cant help it! I love her to death! Jake and I really enjoy being parents.
10 years ago, I was a new graduate, able to vote, dating someone, active in my church, coming out of my shell more, and allowing God to mold me into the woman he wanted me to become. Today, I am wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and last but definitely not least, daughter of Christ. I wouldnt change anything. I love my family, my friends, my church. I love College Place and I love our new house. Im excited to see what God has planned for this year and 10 years from now and 50 years from now and so on. What new joys will I experience? What sorrows will come my way? How many kids will we have? Girls? Boys? Will I still be friends with the same people? Will we still be in CP? In the same house or a new one? Will I be a grandma? Things I like to think about. What life might be like. What Chloe might be like. Its exciting. I know God has an awesome plan for my life. I hope Im not so busy that I forget to enjoy life as it passes me by!
Thank you Lord for the blessing you have given me. I dont deserve them but will do my best to be the woman you have called me to be. Help me to make a difference in the lives around me. And thank you for all you do for me. Amen!

An inspiring post, MB! We do have a lot to be thankful for, don't we? Especially since we have two of the cutest babies ever seen on the face of the planet. :)
I, too, wonder what my daughter will be like as she grows and develops and matures and learns. I can't wait to see her grow...but at the same time, I want her to stay little and adorable like she is now.
It's a complicated emotion. Lol!
