Mom inspired me to write on here today. I decided that I better get on the ball. These last few months have been very crazy for my family. We have custody of all 6 kids and it is a lot to handle. We do the best we can and take it a day at a time. I completely understand why they invented Valium!!!

For the last few weeks, as Melanie has been in the hospital, I have been thinking a lot about what really matters in life. It isn't all of the worldly possessions, what kind of car you drive (as we all know, that is one of my biggest struggles!) or where you stand in society that matters. It is the people that you have in your life that count. They are who mold you into who you are and help you through all of your hard times. I feel completely blessed for the family that I have been born into and get to share my life with! In a few hours we will have a brand new baby that will be blessed to be in our family and I am so excited to be an aunt to her.

In closing, I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Remember that this holiday isn't about receiving presents but it is about the birth of our savior and the gift that he brought to the world! I love you all! Have a great night!
