Mother's Day

There are so many things I want to post about. This was the most wonderful Mother's Day weekend of my life. Of course, this was only my second Mother's Day as a mother, so I am sure it will only get better from here.

First of all, Friday night we began our banner worship class at the church. It was wonderful. Then on Saturday morning, Daniel helped me with everything that needed to be done to get us back to the church, then bought us breakfast to top it off.  Saturday's class was even better than Friday's. We didn't just have class, we had an encounter with God. Afterward, we went home, ate lunch, and the grandmothers and myself went out to shop for "banner worship team attire" for Sunday. Daniel stayed home with Hannah while she was napping. When we got home, I got ready to go out with my sweet husband. And my mom watched Hannah for us....thanks, Nana!

Daniel took me to Jacksonville, let me look around in a dozen stores, try things on, and buy nothing. He listened to me talk about the woes of being a plus-sized lady, the yards of ugly fabric they try to drape us in, and how I should start my own plus-sized clothing line. He listened to me talk about school, church, family, friends, etc., etc. He didn't just listen though, he responded. He is so interested in every little thing that makes me who I am....and that is why I think my husband is God's gift to the world....and more specifically, to me. :) Then we had dinner at Olive Garden...my favorite restaurant in the world. After dinner, went to a few more stores...I finally bought some things! When we left, we talked all the way home.

Yesterday, Daniel made breakfast for us and got Hannah dressed for church. The service was beautiful, we had a great time. After church, Daniel cooked lunch for us and our parents (minus the two who don't live here in town, that is). He served our food, put Hannah down for a nap, washed the dishes, and balanced the checkbook. He did everything he could to make this weekend as fun and stress-free as possible for me. It was awesome! So, to my husband, thank you. This was the best Mother's Day ever. I love you!

 I also enjoyed lots of Hannah time yesterday, which is always great. She was so cute in her little pink dress, smiling and giving me lots of kisses. And the best part was, I told her at the lunch table that I loved her-and as clear as a bell, she said-"Love you". It was the sweetest thing ever! I love that girl!

So, I am back at work today and on cloud nine thinking about my wonderful weekend with my wonderful family. Happy Monday!
