More blessings....

1. Graduation. It's going to happen in just 7.5 short weeks! But it's so much more than just graduation...it's the support of those who love me and who have encouraged me, who have nourished my dreams from start to finish. I couldn't do this without every single one of them.

2. A little more time with J before he leaves. It might not be a lot, but I'm thankful for the little bits here and there. We will make the most of it. It's just now hitting me that he's leaving and that deployment is a very real possibility.

3. A beautiful home. To raise my girls in. To grow in, as a woman, a wife, a mother. To wrap its arms around my family and hold us together.

4. Moose. Who reminds me to let go and not worry about the mess, the fur, the accidents, but just to love freely, all-forgiving, over and over.

5. A milk-drunk baby with little cream droplets sliding down her chubby cheeks while she falls asleep at my breast. Because really, what on this earth is more perfect?
