Expressing Grattitude
Have I been grateful enough for my life's greatest blessing?
Everyday I tell Miley over and over how much mommy loves her. She hears "I love you, I love you" over and over all day long. Today I looked at a picture of Justin and I on the coffee table as Miley and I played on the floor, and I decided to switch things up a bit. Instead of saying to Miley "Did you know Mom loves you?" I said "Miley did you know Mommy loves Daddy?"
I could not stop the tears from welling up in my eyes as I asked her. "Mommy loves Daddy" is not enough to describe how much he means to me. The love I have for Justin is what makes me happy. It gives me strength, and it is by a large measure, what I live for. I want my children to know and hear that their mom adores their dad.
My life would not be the same without my spouse by my side. He is my guardian angel, my teacher, and my best friend.
It is not just his unwavering faith or his incredible example, nor is it the laughter he produces or the way he loves our daughter.
It is his one and only disposition that makes his entire countenance sparkle. It is his fierce loyalty, and understanding heart. It is the way he takes my hand in his.
I love you.
I'm grateful for you.
I appreciate all you do.
I admire you.
So glad your mine.
Forever.

I remember how cute you two were when we did that video for the shower, that was fun for me to get a peek into your lives. How wonderful.
I have to say I haven't blogged in a while and I was sooo excited to see all your new posts! Jess you truly are the sweetest mother and wife. You inspire me daily to be a better mother and wife every day. Okay the blog about March madness made me laugh so hard...yes Tyler had me fill out a bracket as well, and he said I cheated because I picked all the "top ranked seeds" and there was no fun with that!! He was hoping for a "cinderella" story for his team you know. I'm also so sorry to hear that everyone in your family got sick, what a bummer, hopefully you're all doing well. Always thinkin about ya...take care!
Sure! Maybe I can stop by your house sometime this week. I don't know about you, but i am a visual person. I hear that you are quite sick! What can I do for you? Dinner, Clean, Babysit, please let me know! I want to help. Let me know when a good day would be to come see you and show you how to do that
Jessica, I found your blog from your comment on mine. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your words of support and concern. Taylor made the connection for me as to who your mom is and I adore her as well! We are doing well and recovering from last week--while it was definitely a hard week, we were also very blessed. Anyway, thanks again, perhaps we'll be able to meet someday.
