The Fam

Have you ever had that moment where you just need to write? Where you need to get your thoughts and feelings out? Where you feel so overcome with love and joy that you feel as though you must spread the word to an audience larger than you are personally able to reach - without technology that is.

I am having one of those moments.

Today was an amazing day. I got to share today with some of my favorite people in the world. Blessed doesn't begin to describe the way they make me feel.

I also got to watch my mini me go to her first "real" friend birthday party. Oh my, she's growing up! How fun it was to see her excitement and to watch her interact with her peers. It's in these moments that I reminisce of my younger days. I see her and think about her care-free life. So thankful that she is is able to have these moments of sheer bliss. Soon after the questioning begins...
"Why are you friends with Kylie's mom?"
"Why is it getting dark out?"
"Why isn't dinner going to be ready when we get home?"
"Will Granny still be there when we get home?"
"LEX!! I can't hear the music! Turn it up!!!"

 But it doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that this beautiful little being fills my days, hours, minutes. It matters that every waking moment (whether she is with me or not) is dedicated to her. It matters that my husband and I never imagine a scenario without her in it. That our life is sooo good but it's so much richer because she's in it.

It's in those moments where she says "I know I wasn't in your belly but I love you just as much," when I feel that even if it was just the three of us for the rest of our days...it would be okay.

I don't know what the plan is. I don't know if Tyler and I will have 1, 2, 3, or 7 children but I do know that no matter what happens. We have each other. We have our perfect little family of 3 and 1/2 (Mozz is the 1/2) and if that never changed I would still be content. No. MORE than content. I would be overwhelmingly grateful for the blessings that God (or Allah or the universe or whatever higher power fuels your faith) has bestowed on me.

And now, I am going to go spend the small remainder of the evening with the most amazing man i've ever met. JACKPOT, BABY!!!
