{Thankful} Day 5- My Grandmother

    

    
      My grandmother – She has always been the picture perfect grandmother… Mom says no, call Grandma- and that’s what I did and I got exactly what I wanted. That alone doesn’t make her perfect but it could. She was always such a big part of my life and is always there for me. Even when my mother and I were going through tough times she was still there, secretly taking my mothers side and planting “the right thing to do” in my head, I wouldn’t have or want it any other way. She is still such a big part of my life and always there for any advice I need. I ‘m blessed to have a grandmother that loves as much as she does.

{Thakful} Day 4 – My Children

     I have been blessed with 2 intelligent, kind, independent, creative, children. My children in my dreams were not even as close to as amazing my two are.

 

 My son was born when I was 17, and changed my life. He showed me what I needed to do to become a better person and he changed our lives. He made us do what we were supposed to and become the people we were supposed to be. He made me a stronger person because my pregnancy wasn’t great but he was worth every bit of everything I went through. He completely changed my life and is still amazing me and making me a better person every day. My daughter she is a character. I had her at 20 and she was exactly what we wanted, a ball full of girly-ness and PINK!  She completed our family. They are both such joys to have and I’m blessed to not only have them as my children but for god to have chose me to be their mother.

{Thankful} The Love of My Life

     Day 3 – My husband, he’s my high school sweetheart. I met him at 15 years old {gawsh, I’m 28 now, WOW} he was 16, and that was it. We were madly in love and became your typical “high school sweetheart” couple. I was the good girl, him the bad boy, mommy & daddy don’t like him, I don’t care – you know that whole story, and then here came a baby. We have been through more than I could write about , but we have always stood by each other’s side and had each other’s back.

He is my rock! We have grown up together and built our life from literally the ground up. He is the hardest working man and greatest father I know to our children. He makes sure we are all taken care of and that I am able to be here for our children for everything. I’m even more thankful for him, since we have made the decision to homeschool our children because without him having the amazing mind and incredible drive he has, I would not be able to be here for what my children need most. He’s my everything.

{Thankful} My Mother

Day 2 – My mother, she is such a wonderful women. I don’t know what my life would be like without her. When I was a teenager we had a rocky relationship, due to me being a typical teenage girl, thinking my mother knew NOTHING! Although our relationship was rocky it has become exactly what it was supposed to be. Thank you for being a wonderful mother and always putting me first, my needs, and sometimes my excessive wants. You were and still are such a great mother and great grandmother to my children. I couldn’t ask for a better one! 

{Happy Fathers Day} Thankful for my Husband

     Today is Fathers Day, Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there! I’m so blessed to have an amazing man that is my children’s father!  My father has passed away, and my husbands father is not apart of our lives, and my grandfather lives 6 hours away, a phone call and card is apart of his celebration. So every year we celebrate this wonderful man here! My husband- Mr. Scott!

Everyday this man gets up and goes to work to take care of his family in every way shape and form. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for us. Now, I know that is something most women say about their husband, but he really does everything for us, our family, and the lives we want to live and build together. We’ve been married for 9 years in July, and together for 12 years. I’ve watched him grow from a teenage boy , into a man, & onto a husband and father.

    Mr. Scott not only takes care of us he also makes sure to take care of us emotionally too. He always makes times for us, He loves spending time with us and playing with our children. He always makes sure that we do something together even if it is just for a afternoon walk, a quick board game, or a spontaneous family movie night. He knows how to enjoy the little things in life with our children and spends extra time guiding them and helping shape the little man and little women our children will grow to be. He takes pride in everything he does, especially when it comes to raising our children.

“Any Man can be a Father,but it takes a real man to raise a child”. That saying doesn’t just go towards a man that has a child and doesn’t help raise them. It also goes for men that have children and even though they are there in the home and support their children financially that doesn’t make you a great father. Children need your time and attention, they need your hugs and affection, they need your lessons in life that you have learned and need to be taught all your “daddy wisdom”. Sons need their fathers to teach them how to be a man, how to hunt, fish, ride a bike, shoot a gun/bow, play sports etc. and daughters need their father to show them what a real man is, how they should be treated in life, to guide them, protect them, and build them to have confidence that no one can tear down, and so much more. I can truly say and mean every word, that my husband is all of this and more, his list could go on and on.

      I’m so thankful for you Mr. Scott, you make our dreams become realities and work so hard to be the wonderful man that you! I couldn’t have asked for a better husband or father to our children! Thank you! Happy Father’s Day my Love! We love you.
