Every since I was a little girl, I have dreamed about being a wife and mother! What could be more awesome than caring for, and loving a family you built. I had it all planned out. I would meet a handsome gentleman in high school, we would fall in love and continue to date through college. He would propose to at our college graduation. We would spend a year planning the most FABULOUS wedding ever. It would be a ball, just like in the fairy tales I watched growing up. After we were married a couple of years we would start a family. A boy, then girl, and last a girl. I would have hot and fresh cookies with cold milk ready when my children arrived home from school. My husband would come home to a feast, and our home would always smell yummy! In my life as a wife and mom there would be few things to worry about, aside from making sure laundry was done, and lunches were packed. Life would be a dream :)
KABOOM!!!!
That life, that life that I longed for, for most of my life was a dream, it was a fairy tale, just not mine. I didn't marry my high school sweetheart, and I dropped out of college. I was married at 21 in Vegas. I have a son, and I am expecting our second son. I am married to my soul mate, and my best friend. I don't have fresh cookies waiting on the table everyday, but our house smells like a home. It smells of dirty diapers, rash cream, daddy's smelly socks, laundry, somewhere in there you can catch of whiff of a home cooked meal. And yes, we have worries, lots of them, but I am so thankful that I am finally living MY fairytale, the life that I have created.
It is a fun, crazy, hectic, stressful, loving, adventurous life and I LOVE IT!!!
Today I am a wife and a mother, and I am so blessed to be able to stay home and raise my son. I am blessed to have a husband who adores me, even when I look like road kill. I am blessed with a wonderful family and friends who are family.
I hope you will enjoy hearing about all of the things I face as a wife and Mother :)
