I think most moms wish they had more time. Time is something that we can never get back. I remember when my oldest was born and every mom I encountered said the same things. "They grow up so fast." "Treasure these moments." You will look back one day and wonder where the time went." I tried never to take those words for granted but sometimes life just happens and time slips away.
Even though Meagan and Emily are almost just 5 and 3 years of age, I have been amazed recently at how fast time passes. I still remember every moment of childbirth with both girls. I remember them taking their first steps. I remember the first time one of them said "no" to me. I remember the first time they said "I love you" without being prompted. So many memories that seem like they happened yesterday.
I have wanted to write a blog for awhile now. It will help family and friends feel more connected, but honestly I am writing this for me. I look at this as somewhat of a journal and way to capture my thoughts and the happenings of my kids as time seems to go by faster and faster. Hopefully on this journey, I learn even more about myself as a mom, a wife, a daughter, and a friend. God has blessed me abundantly in all of these areas but I realize I need to continue to grow and be challenged.
So, for everyone reading, I invite you on this journey that God has our family on. So far it has been a crazy, fun filled and sometimes tough ride. I will blog about humorous moments in the past, current events, my thoughts and learnings from God, and whatever else comes to mind.
