Tuesday Tell All -Tell us about your graduation

I don't remember a lot about my graduation. I graduated from Layton High School in 1999. I remember standing outside the Dee Events Center forever and I remember that it was really long. I graduated with high honors and was really proud of that but I didn't really participate in many extracurricular activities. I do have one regret and that is that along the way I sort of lost track of a lot of my friends. I grew up with the same group of friends plus or minus a few from kindergarten through graduation but somehow by the time we graduated our lives had all taken on different directions. I know that it's normal to change and grow and end up different than you were but I wish I had been surrounded by them at graduation . I did have my wonderful boyfriend (now hubby) and he is definitely the one out of everyone I would want there. So I guess life just has a way of throwing twists and turns out along the way and you just have to learn to be grateful for what you have.

Being a mother

Sometimes as a mother you wonder how much your child is actually listening to you. I have many days that I feel so completely frustrated and like I am getting absolutely nowhere. Yet somehow it always seems at these low points of being a mother you get a "blessed mother moment". I have been trying to teach Sophie her ABC's for awhile now or as she calls them her "ABI's". Everytime I ask her to sing them to me she just stares at me blankly like she has no idea what I am asking her. Just as I was giving up came that blessed mother moment. We were driving in the car and out of the back seat suddenly I hear A,B,C, ......G,H,I now given it was not perfect but to my ears it was absolutely perfect. She is listening to me even when I think she is not. I love being a mother.

Happy 8th Anniversary To My Love, I want you to know that I love you more than life itself. You are the best husband in the world. You treat me like a queen and our daughter like a princess. You are the best father to our Sophie. I love waking up everyday knowing I am married to my best friend, my partner, my true love. I look forward to everyday with you, you can always make me smile or laugh. You are my everything. I cannot believe it's been eight years I feel far too young to be married for eight years but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't know what I did right in life to have deserved you , I feel so blessed. I love you now and forever.
Love, Britt
