A Special Weekend

This weekend was so special. Saturday Scott and I celebrated our anniversary and then Mother's Day was Sunday. We got to spend some quality time with our family and enjoyed great food. It was just a peaceful time. This time of year is really busy for me at work. It has been hectic as usual but rewarding at the same time. This weekend also marked a special event in my life. It was 20 years ago this Sunday that I asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior. I'm far from perfect but I am HIS. I am thankful to be his child and I hope to always share his LOVE with my own daughter. Being a mother is a tough, endless job but one of the BEST in the world. I am blessed beyond measure. She has brought so much joy to all of our lives. I never imagined that such a little person could be such a big part of our lives. Being a mother is truly amazing. I definitely felt the love from my family from heartfelt sentiments,flowers, and cards......way more than I ever expected or deserved. It never fails that I get a Mother's Day card from my baby brother and this year was no different. My grandparents also share this day with me and this year it was hard not having Grandaddy with us but he was missed. I will think of him when I plant my new rose bush from Grammy. Our conversations were filled with much laughter and remembrance of him. My sweet daddy gave me the best card....a real tear jerker. And of course, Scott out did himself as always. He recognizes how stressed and tired I have been so he treated me to a spa gift certificate. I'm holding out until the end of the semester. My daughter was precious, telling me "Happy Mudders Day" every chance she got. Wow! I can't believe she's almost 3. Where does the time go? Her growing up is bittersweet. Time is just too precious to take for granted.
