pregnant women are the most beautiful creatures on earth. there is something about a pregnant woman that softly whispers perfection. they just have this unexplainable glow..this glitter in their eye and you can tell that they are experiencing every piece of a miracle. pregnant women amaze me..and inspire me to appreciate life. as we are living life and taking every single bit of it for granted, a new life is inhabiting these women..a new life that could be our future president, astronaut, soldier, teacher, doctor, a little baby with its entire life ahead of it..an innocence that is so amazing that a single glance at a pregnant belly can overwhelm me..i don't know how anyone can not look at a pregnant woman and not be taken aback by their beauty..they just send off such an amazing vibe. god has given us such a beautiful gift and i am so proud to be a woman and have the opportunity to one day (far far in the future :) ) be able to bring new life into this world..that is so amazing..and i feel so blessed to be a woman.
life is such an amazing, amazing journey. i don't want to waste a minute of it. i can't wait to see what my future has in store for me. i know it will truely be an adventure. and through the laughter, joy, and pain of it all..i know my god will be there holding my hand throughout it all..and that is the most amazing comfort anyone could ever ask for. thank you lord for life..just plain and simple life..good or bad..it's life..and it's such a precious gift that i truely cherish.
thank you lord for..
YOU..without you none of us would even exist..and if life was the only gift ever given from you..i would be forever indebted to you..but you have given me so much more.
my family..i have the most amazing family. a wonderful loving father who goes to work and busts his butt every day to provide for me..who does an amazing job at playing both father and mother and who does more for me than i could ever fully appreciate. for a beautiful sister who also serves as a friend and confidon..and is someone i admire and respect so much. for allowing me to experience 16 unforgettable years with a mother who words just don't do justice. thank you for all that you allowed her to teach me in such a short time and for all the love she gave me..the love that still shines through to this day. for grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and a new baby on the way. for a cousin that is one of those amazing pregnant women i was describing.
for robbie..and amazing boyfriend. a best friend. a confidon. a soul mate. thank you for blessing me with such a loving, caring person. he will never know how much i love him, just how much he means to me or just how much i think of him. i have more respect for this guy than anyone could ever imagine. he has taught me the importance of diligence, hard work, intelligence and family. i have learned so many valuable life lessons from him..things i never thought i could learn through a boyfriend. thank you for allowing me to look into those beautiful brown eyes of his and see my future.
