The things that matter most

So here is is 11:00 at night, I just got done loading the dishwasher and trying to clean up the house after a busy day. I still have so much to do before Bryan gets home from work.  There is a pile of clothes that need folded, craft projects to be cleaned up and the blanket fort that is set up outside still needs to be taken down and brought back in.  As I trying to figure out what task to tackle first I cant help but have a heart full of love and gratitude.  So right now everything can wait so I can take a second and express my love for the things that matter most,

My Husband is so amazing.  I know people think that oh we are still in the honey moon stage and its the newlywed syndrome that is spurring my love and appreciation for him.  Maybe they are right to a degree but I hope that "stage" never leaves.  Bryan is honestly my best friend.  Just the past couple weeks my eyes have been open to the power of marriage and love.  I was able to see through others experience how important it is to always be there for your spouse,  I think each marriage has points when one or the other is down and its up to the other to be the one to forgive and reach out and lift the other one up.  In our very sort time together (dating time and all) Bryan has been that hand to help and support me.   He has let me cry on his shoulder many many times, he has whispered encouragement and love in my ear and he is always keeping that eternal perceptive that we so need.  I dont think I can honestly put into words how much I love him and how much that love is growing every day.

Another shout out I have to give is to Kirianna,  She amazes me! Its sometimes overwhelming to  think that I am her step mom.  I know that the Lord had it in his plans for her to a part of my life.  At almost eight years old I am sure she teaches me far more than I teach her.  The one thing that I find amazing about her is her ability to love others.  For a little shy red head her heart is very big.  She has let me into her family and loved me with out blinking a eye.  I love it when she is up and Bryan has to work because we get our "girl" time. I get to snuggle in bed with her and listen to her talk a mile minute about anything and everything.  That girl makes me laugh with her silliness. 

One more thank you I have to express is to my family.  I love them.  I have spent alot of time with them lately and have been blessed because of it.  I have amazing parents, you people just done even know how amazing they are.  My mom is so giving of her time, talents and love.  My dad is a rock so strong and amazing ability to  keep our family on the right track.  My parents have face so may trials that would break most people but some how that have come out of them stronger.  My brother, the only one in our family who is quite.  He might not say much but when he does he is profound and full of wisdom!  Then my sister, my trusted friend, enemy, accomplice,partner,,,,my sister.  I spend so much time trying to protect her and be her big sister that I have failed to notice has strong she can be on her own.  She can brighten my mood and get me out of a funk faster than anyone I know!  Thank you!

So shoot now Bryan is going to be walking in any second, and not one thing on my list is done, but that is ok  because they are things that dont matter that most :)
