Time sure does fly....

On April 23rd, Jason and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary.  It's hard for me to believe that 5 years have passed since I married my best friend.  Not only did I gain a friend for life, but a support system.  He is my better half.

So much has happened in our 5 years as husband and wife.  Little did we know that the most important blessing would come in the form of a snotty nose and spit-up galore.  But, he's BY FAR the best thing that has ever happened to us!

This same month, we celebrated Jase's 2nd birthday.  Wow.  I can't believe it.  As I was pushing Jase in his swing just a few days before his big birthday bash, my mind went back to two years ago.  I began telling Jase all about his journey here; how happy we were to finally meet him after 9 long months of waiting.  He doesn't need me to tell him how much he means to me, because he can feel it every time I tickle him, 'bear hug' him, or share an "Eskimo kiss."  It's a love that goes beyond words.  It's comforting to know that he's learning to express his love for me... and I see it grow each time he lays his head on my shoulder or climbs up in my arms and gives me a little peck on the cheek.

I decided to attempt to put into words the emotions and feelings of love and adoration that come with being a mother...

Immeasurable Love

The moment I met you I loved you.
I’ve waited my whole life for a blessing like this.
Dreaming of your precious face
And bright blue eyes.

An angel in my arms
With tiny fingers and toes,
You changed my life forever.
And for this, I am grateful.

With each day that passes,
I am reminded of the gift I have been given
And the happiness your smile brings.
You complete me.

The love in me overflows
Like flowers blooming
On a sunny, Spring day
And rainbows reaching for miles.

My heart sings of this Immeasurable Love.
 

-Mommy

I pray that one day Jase will understand his true meaning here on Earth; to be a blessing.
