Oh yeah...I'm a mom too

It is strange to be wished 'Happy Mother's Day'. After all, this is my first one as an actual mother. Harrison was born just a few weeks after the big day last year, and so here I am. I received some phone calls, some delightful mint chocolates at church, and two of my most favorite things in the entire world...

1) Chocolate covered strawberries and raspberries - DELICIOUS

-AND-

2) A gift certificate for a spa pedicure - HEAVENLY

These two lovely gifts make me one of the happiest ladies on earth - how can I ask for anything more? Thanks honey for the prizes.

These past 11 months since Harrison has come into my life, have been full of every human emotion imaginable. I have shed uncountable tears, become humbled at the awesome responsibility of raising a child, been so proud I could burst, laughed out loud more that I have in ages, become so protective I might turn into one of 'those' moms, and loved more that I could have ever believed possible. I read on a blog recently of a mom who after a very rough day with her little ones - reminded herself that she is making motherhood her mission - no matter what. I thought that phrase was very inspiring. Motherhood is super hard, super fun, and super crazy. But I too - am going to make it my mission. Besides - how can I not, when this is who I am responsible for teaching everything that I know?

Wish me luck.
