This day was incredible. For the week leading up to Sunday I became very emotional each time I thought about it. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for the chance to be a mom. Once upon a time I wondered if I would ever be a mom and now here I am celebrating my first year as a MOM! I am so grateful for Katelyn and for the chance that I have to be her mother. She is such a special person and I am continually awed that she is ours to keep! She brings such an amazing spirit into our home and she makes us want to be better people. I am also so grateful for the many wonderful "moms" in my life who have taught me so much and made being a mom something to treasure and look forward to.
My only request to Ray was "no gifts, just make it a good day" and he did such a good job. I worked the night before and came home to beautiful bright flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and a beautiful card. I crawled into bed with Ray and we snuggled for a bit, when the baby woke we all snuggled, then he let me sleep for a couple hours. I woke to a delicious breakfast, we attended sacrament, had a great after church family nap, lunch and then headed to Whipple's for dinner.
We had a great time at Whipple's laughing and enjoying the time with family. All the while Ray was incredibly sweet and thoughtful and attended to my every need, he even managed to scrub his mothers kitchen top to bottom! He is such a wonderful husband and I am so blessed to be his eternal companion and to enjoy this life together. He is such an incredible father and takes such good care of both of us!
Thank you Ray, my first Mother's Day as a mother was better than I had ever dreamed.
