*** Then and Now ***

Who would ever guess where our life would take us one year ago??? I was lookin thru pics today and found this pic...



How stinkin sweet!!! This was taken June 2009 when lil man was almost 5 mo old! Then I found a pic taken June 2010, one year later where lil man is almost 17 mo old...



A one year difference... awww my lil man is such a big boy now! It brought tears to my eyes to see how much he has grown and how fast time flies by! The special thing is- no matter how much time flies by I love that lil man just as much as ever and always will. He melts my heart and brings so much joy in me and Noah's lives. Life without being parents would be so dull. Do not get me wrong- I absolutely LOVE my hubby so so so much and the time we have always had together. I mean life would be dull without him too... but what did we ever do with ourselves before lil man was here!? Just thinkin back to a year ago... I was babysitting in IL for Rylan and Cami and my first day was June 1. I was home with my lil man then as I am now- but now we are in GA and lil Zacary is on the way in less than 4 mo!!! :] You'd never guess where a year can lead you. BUT it is so amazing and what is meant to be so we are always going to make the best out of everything!

I read Laura's blog this morning and she is so right- step back and think about how blessed you are in your life. Where would you be without the special people in your life? I'd be lost forever. I was good friends with Michelle Stapleton who lost her husband to a bad kayak accident and my heart absolutely aches for her and their son Ryan, who is 4. You never know what life will bring... so cherish every single moment with the people you love and never do things you will regret! You never know when it could be your last day... so live every moment as if it was your last and love love LOVE those special people each and every day! My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle and Ryan and their baby on the way so much... I wish I could see her.

I'd be absolutely NOTHING without my husband, lil man, and soon-to-be Zacary. I lay in bed each night thinkin about how thankful I am for each of them and how I could never imagine myself without them. It scares the jeeps out of me to even think about it. I love them so much and would do absolutely anything in this world for them... thanks for making my life so wonderful and complete to all three of my boys. I can't say it enough on how thankful I am for the the hubby and kids I am blessed with in m life! <3 AND not only that- but for the wonderful parents, in-laws, family, and great friends too. I really am a very lucky girl and I thank you all for all you do so much!

We are headed to the good ole IL this weekend for bachelor and bachelorette parties for my sister-in-law and her fiance and then comin home Sunday evening! If you good ole IL people are in store for visiting, shoot me a text and we can see what we can work out!!!!! :]
