A peek inside my life..

   4 years ago on this night, Brian asked me a question that changed the direction of my life. Where I was then, surrounded by roses and chocolate and twinkling lights and a sparkling ring to where we are today-4 years later-is quite the change.

In the reflection of an ornament on my Christmas tree.. this is what you would see:


I spy..
a trash full of dirty diapers
last night's dishes piled in the sink
a lazy cat basking in the twinkling lights of a christmas tree
2 weeks of laundry, half-folded on the couch
a beautiful nativity with a happy baby Jesus
a forgotten granola bar
bows, wrapping paper, string and tape pushed aside
poopy baby clothes soaking in oxyclean from that morning's blow out
burp cloths, blankets, and binkies littering the floor
bills and Christmas cards partially opened on the counter
a camera chuck full of the same posing baby at every angle
messy wrapped Christmas presents that didn't quite make it under the tree
and a mom with greasy un-brushed hair, still in her pjs, tickling, smiling, and gushing over
a grinning and giggling perfect big-eyed, blue-eyed baby girl

 


Life is perfect.
