Happy Mother's Day - We found a house!

It's Mother's Day and since we've been off house hunting this weekend there's no big fanfare to celebrate. I guess that's okay considering the fact that after weeks of searching, we finally found a place to call home in Richmond!

I'm excited about what we (finally!) found and hope that the move will start coming together now.

It's been tough trying to explain to the girls why we keep traveling out of town each weekend; dragging them through houses, begging them to be on their best behavior, etc. etc.

But, I guess that's just life and as a mom, having to explain tough things comes with the territory.

I'm grateful to be the mother of two beautiful daughters. There was a time when I never thought I'd have the opportunity to become a mom. I prayed like crazy, but the years kept going by. Thankfully, after much waiting and anticipation, Miss Independent and Little Miss arrived. It was the most amazing day of my life.

In honor of that special day, I'm re-posting my favorite "new mom" picture. It was my first day home from the hospital and a time that went by way too quickly.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you. Whether you've had children of your own or not, Mother's Day is for all of the women who've loved, longed for or cared for a child.

AND finally, Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and to my second mom, Mom Beverly. I love you both dearly and appreciate all that you've done for me and for my family.
