It's a Wonderful Life

OK, I'll be the first to admit that life isn't always so wonderful. Life is hectic, life is painful, life is messy and if you have small children like I do Life is quite often stinky. Life is... well... life. But I have found that if I can put aside the frustration, try to not notice the mess, if I can get past the monotony of being a stay at home mom, life really can be wonderful.

I am Emily, a stay at home mom to three small children. B is our oldest. He is five years old and has just started kindergarten. D and L are our 22 month-old boy girl twins. I have wanted to be a mommy for as long as I can remember. I have prayed for babies of my own since I first knew how to pray. The Lord answered my prayers with my sweet babies. I am more blessed than I ever could imagine. I am married to E, a wonderful man. We met at his high school youth group and were high school sweethearts. E and I have been married for almost nine years and while our marriage is no where near perfect, we really do adore each other. E is my best friend and my constant. I couldn't begin to imagine my life any different than it is. I am so blessed and so thankful!

My plan for this blog (besides bragging about my beautiful children!) is to have an outlet for my frustrations and my joys. I would also really like this to be a place where I hold myself accountable for my daily walk with the Lord and for the way that we lead our beautiful children in Him.
