Babes. Kiddos. Lil ones. Rug-rats.

We want one. Is it weird that I got excited when my "monthly visitor" was late by like 4 days? And that I got really sad when my visitor showed up... Well I did. We have only been married for a year and we aren't even trying right now. We just both love kids and want so many. I don't quite think we'll make it till December to start trying.

I am a nanny for only 6 more days and I have such mixed feelings! I've been the nanny for these two angels, Allie and Parker for about 10 months and I will miss them! They love me! And most days... they make my desire to have kids so much higher than it already is! (Most days). Over the past 10 months I have taken near 1,000 photos of them! Yep! And sometimes at night time before I go to bed, I watch a video of Allie counting to 10! Such a big girl!

Today I thought about the kind of mom and wife I want to be.

"I want to be the mom that gets to stay at home and be there from the time my kids are newborns till they are heading off to college, I want to be the wife who retires her husband before he’s 40, I want to be the mom that earns a six-figure income, I want to be the wife and mom that isn’t stressed about money, I want to be the mom that shows her kids what it means to dream again, I want to be the wife who helps her husband achieve ALL his dreams, I want to be the mom who shows her kids how to truly give heart-felt service and how to use your time wisely, I want to be the wife and mom who keeps her family healthy and centered on the things that matter most."

 Babes. Kiddos. Lil' Ones. And rug-rats. I'm ready and waiting!<3
