My gift from God

Philip is my love, protector, strength, encourager, provider, pride and most of all my husband!

I am so thankful that I have such an amazing husband. I have made my fair share of mistakes. I have made some bad decisions since I've married Philip. However he still loves me and wants to share his life with me. Our marriage is not perfect. We have struggles just like every other marriage. Philip is determined and faithful and will never give up on me. I know I drive him crazy with my attitude, my hard-headed-ness, and my stubbornness. Yet he still grabs me and tells me he loves me!

Philip provides not only financially for my girls and I, he also provides spiritually and loving for us. He treats my girls as if they are his. He loves my girls with a deep passion and only wants the very best for them. I fall in love all over again everyday with this man!

I love Philip for so many reasons. He is faithful and showers me with attention. Philip treats me and my girls better than any other man I've been in a relationship with. I am so blessed to have such an amazing, strong, courageous, fearless, loving, caring man.

I know I don't express to Philip how much I appreciate him and all he does for our family...

...so Philip I love you. I'm proud of you and all you have accomplished and will accomplish in life, your career, and our family! We hit bumps along our path of marriage. Sometimes I fall in a pit, but I know you are always there for me and hold your hand out to pull me out of my pit. I love you now, forever and always!

My Girls Are My Air...Without Them I Can Not Breath!

I have 2 precious girls. I love them both with everything I have. I can not imagine my life without my daughters. My girls are growing up so fast. I remember when Joslyn was 1 and a half and Allison was only 3 months old (they are only 15 months apart). Nearly everyone told me, "Cherish these years because they grow up so fast". While friends and family were telling me this I was thinking in my mind...they aren't growing fast enough for me! I can't wait until my girls can tell me what hurts when they're sick. I can't wait until they sleep through the entire night, feed themselves, dress themselves, get in the car by themselves....

Joslyn and Allison are now 8 and 7. I can say to other mothers of infants, "Time really does fly by"! Sometimes as I reminisce about the past 8 years I think of how much easier it was for me when my daughters were babies. My girls didn't fight with each other. Allison was so laid back as a baby. Joslyn was the attention getter.

Now my daughters want to pick out their own clothes. Joslyn wants to fix her own hair. Joslyn wants to decorate her own room, her friends are calling her on the phone everyday. She doesn't want me to eat lunch with her at school.

However every night before my girls go to bed they want to each read a book with "momma"! Joslyn loves to read her library book with me. She tells me every night to lay down with her in bed so she can read her "chapter book" to me (the book we are currently reading has 30 chapters).

Allison brings books home from the library and wants to read them with me too. Sometimes when she gets tired she will let me finish the book. I treasure these moments I spend with my daughters, especially now that I realize time really does fly by. When my girls want to hold my hand or give me kisses, give me hugs, or talk about their day at school with me...I love it. I treasure it and savor every moment!

I love my daughters with my heart, mind and soul...Joslyn and Allison are my air and I can not breath without my daughters!
