It's just a number...

Well I have finally hit 26. (And Joe is right it kind of does feel like 25, and 24...) Last year I freaked out at turning 25. This year I think I handled 26 pretty well. Wow, maybe I am actually growing up! I always wondered where I would be in my life when I turned 26 on my birthday, January 26th. I never thought that I would be living in Arizona and pregnant with baby #2 that's for sure. I didn't really have anything in particular or in mind when I thought about it. No lofty goals or anything I always just wondered. Well now I know and I just wanted to share how I feel about my life right now being 26!

I am grateful to have a wonderful husband. He's very kind, smart, loving, honest, forgiving, understanding, and VERY handsome!! He truly understands me and loves me for the crazy person I am. He works really hard to provide for our little family, and so that I can stay home with Jovin. He makes everyday a true blessing to me.
I have a son who makes everyday full of entertainment, laughter, and adventure. He puts a little bit of sunshine in my days. He is also the cutest kid EVER!! :^) (I know I'm bias, but he's my kid!)
I have two families that are wonderful. They love my family and me and they are always there for me when me and/or my family need them.

I have the gospel in my life and with the knowledge that we have of it I know that I can be with my family forever. That in and of itself is a great present.

So 26... isn't so bad after all...
