To be the mom
To be the wife
To walk out the door, get to work, and discover snot on my pants at knee level
To hear, "I love you Mom"
To be living what often feels like a fairy tale
To watch them grow from babies to little people
To SNUGGLE them tight at bedtime
To smell them all clean and fresh right out of the bath
To be treated like the most special woman on earth
To come home to the dishes done and put away (even when I have to search for 20 minutes to find what I need to prepare dinner!)
To have a home that is OURS and that we fit in
To raise them in the same small town I grew up in
To live so close to their grandparents
To go to bed feeling like I did it all wrong, only to wake up and be shown unconditional love
To see PURE joy in their eyes
To watch him learn to read
To teach her how to be a lady
To try and keep him little forever
To have made it through a decade of marriage and still look forward to the next decade
To be THEIR mom
To be HIS wife
I am so thankful!
