Happy Mothers Day&Happy I Want to be a Mommy Day

Alot of this is a repost from last years "happy I wanna be a mothers day" post. I feel like alot of that post still rains true and always will. 

Things that have changed, today is not a hard morhers day for me. Rather a day of feeling blessed, humbled and thankful beyond what any words can describe. 

Ive republished most of the post from last yr, the pics from last yr and some new ones of those in my life who are mommies & set an amazing example of being a mother, and others are those of who want to be mommies.  I dont have pics on my new phone of all Id like to include, sorry there are not pics of everyone. 

Repost from last yr....

"First let me say how thankful and blessed I am for all of the moms in my life. I truely feel like I was raised by a village of people that involved numerous moms! I feel so blessed and am greatful for all of the women who raised me, guide me currently and and the amazing examples of motherhood I have in my life! 

Instead of having a pity party, after talking to a close friend...weve decided to add a second name to Mother's Day. It will now also be referred to as "Happy I want to be a mommy day". 

This secondary name refers to those of us who want to be a mommy, but arent for various reasons. I know tons of woman who have been unable to conceive for numerous reasons, who conceive but cant carry to term, dont have a partner yet to conceive with, etc...but we all have this innate and intense desire to be a mom! 

Im not trying to take away a "special day" from moms---but every day should be special to moms, cuz they r moms! Im simply trying to acknowledge those of us who long to have that day were we will be called "mom"!!!

So, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in my life and Happy I Want to be a Mommy Day to all the women in my life desiring to be a mommy!"

Happy Mothers day to all the women in my life! May your joy be filled with love and joy!

Happy 60th bubba! 

Ok its a late post, but I was early for his bday.  Liz and I -- and megan, an O'Leary adoption -- got to spend dads 60th with him! (Ps sally we missed u!)

Lots of just sitting around, walking at the dam, boating, eating, laughing and silly shenanigans. 

Happy bday dad! Thanks for all the sacrifices you have and continually make for us, for the amazing example you have always provided us of a Godly and respectful man, the love you are never afraid to show us, and for being the crazy, emotional,  stubborn, Godly, insane texter, loving man you are. Luv you to the moon and back! 

Simple days, surrounded with friends, family and water -- some of the finer things in life that make me whole. 

Spring time in KS

Hello and so welcomed spring!!!

Heres a few pics of our spring 2014 craziness so far. 

Quick summary, work and more work, fri or sat night dinner with friends -- when we can all coordinate schedules -- wine night with jetmore friends, snack and wine night catch up when good friends come to town -- brit howd we go with no pics -- continuation charity and meg crazy adventures, date night, enjoying life and overall getting totally excited summer is one step closer!

So, since im blogging again, Im gonna end each entry with a thankfulness, personal thought or just some fun random quote -- not all as long as todays  I promise. 

I often have driven myself crazy wanting the life of others -- crazy crying babes, no sleep, pt confernces, carpool, formula spit up all over me, dancing with my babes, rasing babes nd growing old with my friends -- which I would trade my current blessings for at any time. 

But, for the current moment I can honestly say I am beyond happy and blessed with my crazy travels, wine nights, dinner get togethers, laughs with friends and fam, spending time with other babies and my sleep -- when I get some with my schedule.

 In the end we are always wanting what others have. Being thankful for the here and now, much harder, but so needed. Please take the time daily to rem the blessings you do have in life, and not focusing on what others have that u dont.
