My Pride and Joy...

Blake, Grace and Ella........

As I start down this journey again with blogging, I find myself trying to focus more on my life story than anything else.  I realized quickly that blogging was a way for me to connect with others, but it is also a time for me to get to sit down and reflect on what life has to offer me and my family.  I love the path we are on, and although I admit it is not always the easiest,  it is the path that has made me who I am today and hopefully who my kids one day will become.  They are my pride and joy and they are the reason I do a lot of what I do.  Have you ever wondered what people will say about you when you are no longer on this earth?  I have and as crazy as that may sound, it helps me focus myself and strive to be a better me.  I want my kids to be proud of me, to be happy, healthy and content.  I want them to be selfless, kind, considerate and courageous.  So far, that is what they are and as one day I want them to be proud of me, I already am so proud of them!
