I thought about things today and how I feel like things are always going so horrible.  I fail to step back and look at how blessed I am.  At age 36 I am a Manager of my own group, have been for about six years and I make really good money.  I am blessed by two wonderful children, Michael and Allison and I have a wonderful husband Kraig.  Since I can remember I've always wanted to have children, it was the one thing I wanted to accomplish in life besides being successful in my career.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I knew it was a blessing from God.  My husband was very hesitant about becoming a father because he didn't have the best childhood.  He quickly got used to the idea and you should have seen him smile when Michael was born.  It changed our life like we never thought it would.  All the worries and joys all wrapped up in an unexpected package!  It has been a great journey and almost 5 years later Allison was born.  You can imagine how Mom and Dad cried when Michael offered his favorite blanket to keep Allison warm right after she was born.  Another precious package with so many unexpected joys!!

They are truly the light of my life.  They always have their challenges, but watching them grow far outweights the problems we face everyday.

Lots of love to my little ones and my dear husband!!

Wish everyone a blessed evening...sweet dreams!
