Mother's Day

Sunday, May 10, 2009 was a very special day for me and the husband. It was the first Mother's Day that I was able to be excited, celebrate, feel honored, and appreciate that I am a mother to a beautiful little girl. It was AJ's first time to witness my excitement on our special day, which I know is something that AJ and I have hoped and dreamed of. For the chance to see each other be the best parents that we can be. Our sweet baby was sent to us from our Father in Heaven, and what a delight it has been to have Sadie in our life.
To help mark our special day, AJ really out did himself! First, I have to say that AJ is so DOPE, and the best father and husband I know.
So, I woke up early as always, and the first thing AJ said to me was "Happy Mother's Day" with a big I-just-woke-up smile on his face. And I responded, "I know I'm a mother now", as I rolled around in our bed squeezing out my morning stretch with a big I-just-woke-up smile on my face. I got out of bed to get ready for my day. As I was getting in the shower, AJ asked "what are you doing? No, no, no, we need to go down stairs." So, he walked me down the stairs, and to my surprise there was my very own work station (that's what I call it!) AJ got me a two sided table, (one side is for sewing and the other for crafting) two lamps one of which has a magnifying glass lamp for when I'm detailing stuff, and two containers for my thread, rhinestones, etc. I was so surprised and excited! I felt like I was a kid on Christmas morning. AJ's gift was so thoughtful because I have been keeping myself busy being creative, and AJ's support really means a lot. I also got an arrangement of beautiful yellow flowers.
AJ made a delicious omelet breakfast for the two of us, and after that I got to work on some stuff for "Sadie's Closet". Later that day we went to visit family for a Mother's Day dinner. It was an eventful day, but most important I got to spend another day with my two favorite people.
