Thank you, God.

Thank you, God, for every blessing in my life. I don't know what I did to deserve such a life, but I am so beyond thankful. I wake up every morning to a husband who loves me unconditionally, who never questions my motives, my thought process, or my neurotic, OCD quirks. He loves me for me, which makes me love him even more. I married my best friend, which most people will never be able to say or do. And what's more, I married a man who could not possibly be a better father to our beautiful, wonderful, amazing little boy. I walked in the door last night to find them both sitting on couch, squished together, and Mike feeding Aidan some puffs. Aidan can feed himself, but he likes Mike to feed him the puffs so his hands are free to play with whatever toy he has interest in at the moment. Every day, I think to myself, "I couldn't possibly love him more than I do right now..." And every day, I prove myself wrong.

Thank you, God, for my wonderful, perfect, sweet baby boy. As I write this, I'm watching him take a toy over to Roxy, so that they can play together. He's 9 months old...who does that at 9 months old?? My baby sure does! I really don't know what I did to deserve to be this blissfully happy, but if I ever find out, I'll do it time and time again because I am truly blessed in this life that I live. From the second that we found out we were pregnant, Aidan changed our lives for the better. You learn so much when you have a baby. Aidan has taught me to be thankful for every day that comes and goes because with each day, I get to spend time with him. He has taught me to love unconditionally, and he's taught me a completely new kind of love. The love you have for you child is unlike any kind of love I could ever explain...it's just different. He's taught me patience and he makes me want to be a better person, not just for myself, but for him. I look at him and can't remember a second of my life before he was here.

I have so much to be thankful for, and sometimes its easy to forget just how blessed I truly am. I could write for days about everything I have to be thankful for: my wonderful family, my handful of amazing friends, our jobs, our dogs...the list goes on. I hope that one day, I'll get a post on here about every thing I have to be thankful for in life, as I'm sure that list will only grow larger, but, for now, I'm going back to playing with my baby boy and hoping that, one day, I'll get the hang of writing in this blog more often.
