Mother's Day continued...

First off, what the heck has been up with blogger? I couldn't get on it for days...so this is much later then I intended, not that there is much excitement to report on, just more for journaling purposes.

To be honest, Mother's Day is usually not a very exciting day for me. It has nothing to do with my family not spoiling me or making it special, but more that I feel the loss of my own Mother very strongly. First thing Sunday morning I decided I wasn't going to be depressed. I prayed to feel grateful and special, and to feel comforted and to feel my Mom close. It worked! I had a really nice day. Right as I finished my prayer Ryan and the kids brought me breakfast in bed. And Ryan let me rest a lot while he took care of the kids and everything throughout the day. On our way to church I realized I forgot to get flowers for my Mom's grave, so I was really hoping we would get flowers at church (I usually don't want flowers and usually want chocolate), so of course, we got chocolate! Which was great for me and I definitely enjoyed it. My bestest friend came over later and cooked me a fabulous spaghetti dinner and I had a nice visit with her and the kids got to play with their Auntie Ginger. We all went to my Mom's grave site in the evening and the kids even made foam flowers for her. Then we headed back to our house for some yummy dessert! It was really a wonderful day! I am so grateful for all the love and support, and wonderful people that I have in my life! My husband is truly incredible! And I have beautiful children who tell me they love me and always want to hug and cuddle. I am one lucky Mama! I'm grateful for this little bean growing inside of me, and for the trust that Heavenly Father put in me to raise these children. I am grateful to be a Mom!
