Another Year Older

Today, September 18th.. what a mile marker for me. I've been a mommy for 14 weeks, a wife for 5 years and 3 weeks, and a daughter for 27 years. Wow, time doesn't miss a beat! I wouldn't pass up any of these moments at all.

This morning Christopher & Iszak surprised me with a card that had tear jerker messages inside. A message that can't be spoken from Iszak's own mouth yet, but it ment the world to me. It was a message of thanks for all of the hugs and kisses mommy! Gosh, motherhood is so wonderful and rewarding!
Christopher had an uplifting and positive message with support in everything I do for our family and the things I continue to do. He's such an amazing man, who stepped into my life at such a life changing time for me. A time when I wasn't open to being loved and comforted after suffering the loss of my first husband, only 6 months prior. To this day, I'm thankful for the many lessons that he's taught me and will continue to be there.

Iszak is an angel sent from God to teach patience, love and happiness to us. Everyday I'm reminded of those great things.

Christopher & I sat down with a client tonight, granted on my birthday, to update their financial dreams and goals. I didn't even think twice about it taking time away from my special day.. why, because I was there with my hubby and son giving hope to another family. What an amazing business I have!! No other person would take time on their birthday or anniversary to change another family's life and their kids future. Afterwards, we went out for Thai food, then stopped at my mom's house for a slice of ice cream cake from Baskin Robins. Overall, I had a great time!

I must say, text messaging has definitely changed the way birthday greetings are passed along. I received numerous messages on my phone today; from my sisters, a friend from work, friends from the office and a dear friend that's been styling my hair for 10+ years. Thank you for making my day special!

In closing of my thoughts for the night.. I'm looking forward to my next birthday in 365 days.

Hi Jessica! Cute blog and cute baby! Motherhood can be challenging (as you probably read in my last post), but it's such a blessing. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for popping over and saying hi!
