First Mother's Day

What a wonderful first Mother's Day! I chose this day to start this blog because today was so special. I have waited such a long time to be a mommy and I want to catalog this new chapter in my life to treasure for years to come!
This morning we enjoyed a nice church service to start our day- it was great to celebrate and praise God for all that we are thankful for.
The weather today was absolutely gorgeous so I couldn't resist taking our sweet girl on a long walk. The three of us were able to get some fresh air enjoy each others company (even of Grace did sleep most of the way!).
My first Mother's Day gift from Nate was a salad spinner! This actually is a big deal because I eat LOTS of salads and green smoothies. Washing lettuce and spinach is so time consuming and I've been wanting one of those. I love how thoughtful Nate is to get me something that I will use on a daily basis.
However, the greatest gift Nate has given me is our beautiful daughter. We are so in love with her and I thank God everyday that we get to be her parents. As I sit here and watch her sleep I reminisce about my own mother and how much I know that she loved me. I know that I learned from the best and hope that Grace knows every day how much I love her just like I know how much my Mom loved me. She is my world and that will never change no matter what life throws at us.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there- you are truly loved and appreciated!
