I love July, always have.
Yes, partly because my birthday is in July.
But mainly because I love the 4th and I love warm weather and days at the beach.
I love BBQ's and time spent with family and friends.
I love hot sunny days.
I love Ice cold drinks, especially raspberry lemonade
And at the end of the month I get to celebrate my anniversary with the man I love dearly.
We have had a great July. Spent with days at the pool, long summer night walks, BBQ's with some of our favorite food and people, a trip to Idaho, and a visit from Grandma, movie's once a week with cousins, splash pad visits, playing at the park, going to the river. The list goes on and on.
I have been feeling extremely grateful lately for what I have. I have a pair of great parents who are always there for me. I have a big bunch of in-laws who all mean so much to me. I have tons of friends who love and support me, some are close by and some are further away but that makes no difference. I have two beautiful children who keep me on my toes, who push my limits on patience, who teach me new things everyday, who are a constant reminder of why unconditional love is such a beautiful thing. I have a supportive husband who is great at pushing my buttons and keeping me on my toes, just where I like to be. A man who is strong and who is understanding and can still make me laugh and who can still laugh at himself.
I am grateful for all the blessings the Lord has given me and for all the blessings he continues to give me. He is my strength and my rock. Every struggle that I have faced in my life has taught me a valuable lesson, and it is from those lessons that I am shaped into the person that I am.
I turned 25 this year and I feel comfortable with who and what I am. I feel happy, I feel blessed, I feel like life couldn't get better. So in other words.... 25 never felt so good! haha.
But what I am really trying to say is that I feel the happiest when I am surrounded by the people I love, and the people that love me. Luckily I feel that often and so I am blessed. If I lost everything I had I would still feel like the richest person in the world, because my riches is based on something much more valuable then material things.
