First and foremost Brandon and I are still together and are watching our 3 beautiful girls grow up. I look at all of them and my heart fills with gratitude. He is the most amazing man I have ever met in my life and I can't imagine life without him. I wake up everyday and the first thing I want to do is hear his voice and he is the last thing I think about every night. I am so incredibly in love!
Our girls are truly the most beautiful, smart, sassy, giggly and fun part of our lives. They are growing so fast!!! Alyssa turned 15...yes! 15 in November and just got her braces off-we are in trouble! She has had such a great year in school and us actively pursing a dream of becoming an actress. Bailey will be turning 4 in February and is developing the cutest personality you could ever imagine. She has the most perfect way of reasoning and convincing us on things we need to do and things that make her happy. She is so wise beyond her years. Shirsten has done so fabulous in school this year. She has been so dedicated to her work and is blossoming into an incredible young lady who still has that sassy spark. I love these girls with all my heart and I am so blessed I get to have a hand in raising them.
After 4 surgeries last year I think my amazing mom is finally on the road to recovery. I have never known a stronger woman in my life. I'm so happy I was here to try to help her through it. Little does she know she taught more about perseverance, patience, and love that I could only have learned through her experiences. My dad has been a rock for me and at 34 years old I'm still asking him for advice daily. I love my parents so much and I know the girls and I will be lost when we start our next chapter in life and move in a few months. I don't know how I will ever thank them for what they have done for me and the girls.
In a nutshell that is where I am :)...in love, happy, anxious for the future, scared, reflective, and above all--utterly thankful.
