As I was pulling laundry out of the dryer and folding this morning in my unfinished laundry room, I was thinking about how this quirky little house was definately not the house I had dreamed of as a little girl. When you are growing up you try to imagine what life will be like. Remeber playing M.A.S.H....you pick your dream guy, with his dream occupation, where you will live, how many kids you will have, and so on and so forth. This old house did not make it on my dream sheet, however I started to think about the other things, and you know what...My little family is better than I had dreamed. I couldn't ask for a more devoted husband. He has a job that allows him to pop in every now and again and have lunch with me. I couldn't have thought up cuter kids or that I would be lucky enough to have 3 girls. I live in a great neighborhood with great friends. I've had some great experiences, so you know what, I think the Lord's plan is much better than my own.

It's funny b/c the other day I had this thought as I was trying my best to get everyone their breakfast, and everyone being cranky and impatient, and me trying to be the good little fairy bringing everyone what they wanted. I thought back to life as a kid, and thought "is this what I pictured?" (me being bossed around by three little kids?) I didn't really picture that exact scene... but in my young mind, I didn't think about how good my life life really could be. Life is funny, life is good. :)
I love following your blog! You always have the best insightful comments and I love all the optimism. You made me so excited to be a mommy and so far I've loved every minute of it. (well it's only been two weeks... give it some time right? haha) Just kidding! And yes your kids are all drop dead gorgeous!
