Dear IJD,
Sometimes it is hard to choose to be "away" from you sweet girl. Whether it's a few hours or a day; I would rather be around you than anyone! However, my "mommy's knows best" moment is continue to do things for YOURSELF too! I can't get lost in ONLY being a mom. I must continue my relationships and friendships. You know why? It makes me my VERY best for you!
It's such an exciting time in Oklahoma! Our home team made the playoffs. Your daddy and I took time last week to Thunder Up! We met up with your Aunt Sara's, Uncle Doug, Uncle Sam, and other pals. We ran into your cousin and Aunt Dianne too! It was good to get out of the house and join the excitement in person.
A few weeks ago one of my students was bringing her mom home from Vietnam. Her flight was delayed until 11:30 p.m. With some hesitation I highly considered not going since it was so late and being a mommy makes me sleepy. However, my dear friends made the night one to remember. I am so glad I was able to go and be a part of such a happy moment. Cheers to Will Rogers and Classic 50's!
A few Fridays ago there was a wedding in OKC that Aunt Sara and I really didn't want to miss. I was so happy to go with her and really catch up. Isn't she beautiful? We had the best time and it meant so much to spend time with her.
You will make friends and memories too! I pray that your friends strengthen you. I pray you find uplifting people to make you YOUR best. I have found such people that push me each day to only show love.
You are my sweet treasure Izzy! I know you will be blessed with important friends and moments throughout your life too.
