There is so much I want to do this summer. I expect I will only get half of it done, but that will be good enough for me. We have kicked off our summer with a visit from my mom, brother, and his sweet girlfriend. We had a great time working at my grandma's house with all my cousins and aunts. We went shooting, played games, and ate lots of food. Mckay was a great entertainer for all of us. He has enough energy to power a small city. Like usual, I didn't catch any pictures of all our fun.
I love Sundays. It has always been a day for me to reflect and let gratitude fill my heart for the life that I have been given. Mckay and I were just talking about how blessed we have been. He is my greatest blessing. I learn so much from him everyday. His patience with me humbles and motivates me to be so much better than I am. This has been a trait of his that I have admired since we started dating. He has brought so much light and joy into my life that I really didn't know I could experience. It felt unreal that I could ever be so blessed to have a husband so loving, forgiving, and so kind. When he was serving his mission I felt like I could never keep up with the rapid growth he was experiencing. I was convinced he would take one look at me when he came home and decide I wasn't what he was looking for, but the Lord worked a miracle and Mckay decided he still loved me. Truly a miracle.
Another great blessing is my mother. This Mother's Day I was so blessed to have my mother here with me. She has been my best friend, my comfort, strength, and nurturer. She has sacrificed so much of herself to be what I needed her to be which has given me the ability to become a better person. I am so grateful to be her daughter.
I have truly been blessed.
