My 1st Mother's Day!!

I never thought that I would be given the chance to celebrate Mother's Day this year...not like this anyways!  Oh sure, I had been dreaming about the day....anticipating what it would feel like when I could hear those words and it be because I actually was a mother!  But, the tests were always negative and so I thought at least another year would go by before I'd be given this opportunity (however it might come about).  

That's what I get for thinking!  Obviously, God had a different plan in mind and May 8th was one special day for me!  Between the numerous phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, and cards, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy!  Not only did I receive so many thoughtful words but my sweet brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew sent me a delicious surprise that made my day that much more special!!!  Check out the gorgeous strawberries below....how adorable are they?!?!  Thanks so much Ricky, Kristin, & Jay for the awesome gift and for making me feel so special on my very first mother's day! 

Shari's Berries~so delicious!!
Aren't they beautiful~I love the different designs/colors!! 
Such a sweet note~I think they're almost as excited as we are :)
And, I can't forget to mention my sweet husband's contribution to this wonderful day!  He gave me 3 different cards (from him, from the dogs, and from the twins) AND a portable radio that I can put my iPhone into so that I can listen to my tunes while floating in the pool!  Thanks honey for being so sweet and creative with my gifts :)


I just feel so blessed to be a mom and I truly hope that I make God proud that he chose me to be the twins' mommy :)  I am truly looking forward to celebrating this day in 2012 with my girls :)

*Through this process, I have learned even more so that it doesn't take "birthing" a child to be a mom!  I hope that all the moms out there (whether you have children biologically, through adoption, or even those that might be the only mom a kid can count on) were made to feel special on this day....because you truly are!*
