The Most Amazing Year

I don't even know where to begin. This year has been amazing. I bore a life. A tiny human being. Something I created. God granted me the power, the gift, to create life and bring it into this world. What an amazing gift. Thank you, Lord. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for everything he has blessed me with. I'm telling you, if you don't believe there is a God, give birth.

A year ago I was sitting in a hospital room, staring at this new life before me. I'd dreamed about that day for years! I couldn't stop looking at him. I kept kissing him and touching him and holding him. I'm still kissing him and touching him and holding him! J.R. and I are still to this day commenting on how awesome he is and how blessed we are. I just love him SO much. I can't imagine my life without him.

Each night at bedtime, we listen to a lullaby CD. Most recently our favorite is Jim Brickman's Disney CD. My favorite song is one Wayne Brady sings. Tonight I listened to it, as Ben lay asleep in my lap. I cried and cried.

From the moment I saw you From the moment I looked into your eyes

There was something about you I knew, I knew

That you were once in a lifetime A treasure near impossible to find

And I know how lucky I am to have you

Cause I've seen rainbows that could take your breath away

The beauty of the setting sun, that ends a perfect day

And when it comes to shooting stars I have seen a few

But I've never seen anything as beautiful as you

I love you, Ben. No matter what happens, I will always, always love you.
