I AM

I am a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, aunt, friend, but the one I love most is
 I AM MOM

The definition in Webster's Dictionary for mother is a female parent. 

That is not all a mother means to me. A mother is someone who at any time day or night will take a phone call just to listen, a mother is incredibly unselfish, a mother is hard working, a mother's heart hurts when she thinks about how much she loves her children, a mother always has her children's best intentions at heart, a mother is never tired of seeing and hearing new things about her children, in my life a mother is a necessity.

I am extremely blessed to know many great moms. 
My Mom: She was tough on me in High School and the older I got the more we butt heads. But...we could always talk. We'd take midnight grocery store trips together and spend forever there and always end it with a Kit Kat. Now my mom is always the one I call whenever I have a question about my own kid. Or when I'm bored. I call my mom at work almost everyday just to say hi. I know she's always there for me and will help me in any way she can.

My Mother-in-law: She is truly an amazing women. She's so strong in the gospel and loves her kids more than anyone I know. She is constantly running errands or doing something for one of them. She's also an awesome grandma. She will take advantage of every opportunity she can to spend with her grandkids no matter the cost. 

My Aunt Judy: She never had children so I like to call her my second mom. When my mom was bugging me I'd call her. I'm selfish enough to sometimes be glad that she never had children because then I would have to fight them for her attention. She always has the best recipes to try out and it's like a vacation when you stay at her house. She always will cook my favorite meal- roast beef when I go. She's really the best.

And my sisters: TJ, Ginger, and April
My Sisters in law: Christine and Riley
all of you have had to endure all my dumb questions as I was pregnant or a newbie. You are all examples of what kind of a mom I want to me. You all mean the world to me.

see- I told you I was really lucky.

I am Mom to the sweetest boy. I'll forever be grateful to him and my hubby Ryan for making me a Mommy
the moment I became a momma
