#5 A Picture of Me 2 Years Ago

This picture was taken 2 years and about 2 weeks ago. I had just had Payton 3 months before and we were visiting my family in Utah. This was on a Sunday, the day after Payton was blessed. He looked so cute in his little outfit. I will always remember how proud I was of Brennan for giving Payton his blessing. He was so nervous. He did a great job.

I look at this picture and cant believe how fast time goes by. So much has happened in just 2 years!

Brennan works at the Kingman jail as a detention officer. He also has a upholstery business that has been open for about 2 years.  He never has time for himself. Constantly going from one place to the other. Trying to get a few hours sleep here and there, and still making time to be with Payton and I. We have a great life and I know it is because of all the hard work Brennan does for us. I am so grateful.  

Payton is no longer my little baby, he is now a little boy. Having him in my life has brought me more happiness than anything else I will ever know. I love watching him learn and grow. Figuring things out and seeing that to every action there is a reaction. I see so much of both me and Brennan in him. He truly is the best of both of us.

I also have come a long way in 2 years. I still don't know what I am doing most of the time as a mother and wife, but I am hoping that I see my mistakes and learn from them. To me family is the most important thing in the whole world, and I love them so much. I love the song "Life's a Dance" by John Michael Montgomery the chorus says:

 

Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go 

 

I don't know everything, and I know it's okay. If I have learned anything in the last 2 years it that life is precious. Be with the ones you love and always let them know you love them. Life is to short not to be happy. Don't always focus on what you don't have. Think of all that you do have.

 

There is so much to be grateful for!
