Counting our Blessings

This year in particular I feel we have been so blessed. Ty has a stable job and we are not struggling with unemployment like we were a couple years ago and like so many others are at this moment. I feel very grateful for Ty for all his hard work to be able to provide for us so that I can stay at home with our boys. I know it’s a luxury these days to be able to be a stay at home Mom. We were blessed to get into a house in June. I love the safer neighborhood, the location, it’s close to everything we need. It’s so great to have a washer and dryer and extra space also!

The sweetest of all my blessings this year is one I hoped for and wanted for years and that was to have a baby and be a mother. We don’t know why we were blessed to have twins but I am so grateful to have not just 1 but 2 babies! When I peek in on Troy and Weston in their cribs at night before I go to bed I still can’t believe they are mine and Ty’s! They make me laugh everyday. They challenge me and make me want to be a better person and I feel a huge responsibility to be a good Mother to them-molding little people is scary!

I am also blessed to have a Mom and Dad like mine. Oh how I love them! They have taught and continue to teach me great things. I love my siblings and all my sister-in-laws,brother-in-laws, nieces and nephew too (including Ty's family) I love spending time with all of them and that is just what we got to do last week for Thanksgiving.
