Why I love being a Mom

1) Connor doesn't care what my breath smells like or if my hair is dirty and not fixed.
2) He smiles at me...and it just makes all of the bad melt away.
3) I see God through everything Connor does. Smiles, laughs, cries...
4) I now know why my mom sacrificed everything. There is no greater honor & joy than giving your child everything they need & want-even if it is the skin off of your back.
5) All of the things I hate about myself-Connor loves them all, just becasue he doesn't see imperfection, only beauty.
6) I don't have to prove myself to him...just make him breakfast and give him hugs when he bumps his head.
7) There is no deadline. No rush to finish a project. No due date. Just a full-on lifetime of joy.
8) I can see everyone I love in one smiling face. I get constant reminders of my sister, my mom, my dad, my grandparents, Mom & Dad K, John, Josh...all of them.
9) He is my purpose on this earth. He is a well answered prayer.
10) No career, no degree, no finish-line can ever compare to the joy that is labor, delivery, and every day life with a child...just WOW.
