Today is going to be a great day!

First off today marks one year for Ryan and I! This past year is difficult to sum up in words, but of course I have to try so here is what I have. We made it through the good bad and ugly~all wrapped up in commitment, devotion and love. This year has taught me many, many things. Personal differences, perspective, trust. I won't lie and tell you we had a fairytale year~but I will honestly say that I look forward to the rest of the story with this man who continues to prove every day that he is my prince and that I am his princess.

Today is also the first welcoming party for Axel! It means his arrival is real and close, and I am beginning to get anxious. Of course I want to "plan" how everything will go which means I am about to embark on a journey I can't even imagine...God has a sense of humor like that!

I get to see my friends...this is ALWAYS cause for celebration! :-)

And after all that...

I GET TO GO PICK UP MY GIRLS!!!!!

I am so thankful for friends who take into consideration my life and personality when planning events such as this. They knew that I would need a distraction to make it through today, being so anxious to wrap my arms around Abigail and Amelia! I know it is bothersome at times for those who love me to have to deal with my emotional reactions to this whole visitation drama...but I am so blessed to have friends and family who know how silly I get and who not only love me anyway, they continue to help me cope!

Today is going to be such an amazing day, I'm off to relish in it!
