my first blog

well, after many years of reading my best friends blog and my brothers blog, i've decided to take the plunge into bloggerville as well!! i sure hope i can keep up with it.....but with a 6 year old, a 4 year old, and a baby on the way, don't be disappointed if i get a little behind! lol! my hope is to start with the beginning of 2012, a year that is quickly becoming one of the best years ever!! so many wonderful things have happened this year, with many more to come!!

a couple pics to get started.....

this is our wonderful family at christmas 2011.....

.....as is this....which happens to be one of my all time favorite pics of my two beautiful girls.....

that is all i have for today, but i will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from a song, (which i'm sure you've heard before) because i absolutely love the song, and it's so very true for me, because, even though things didn't turn out the way i thought they would, if things had been different, i wouldn't be where i'm at right now! and i can honestly say that i don't want to be anywhere else and i certainly couldn't ask for a better life!!! and nothing would have been possible without the love and support of my amazing family and friends...... so everyday, I make sure that i "thank god for all i've missed......cuz it led me here to this!" :)
