A Privileged Life

I realize more and more that I live a privileged life.

I live a life unlike most in the world will ever live.

It feels “normal” in the United States to live this way, but each day I am reminded just how big my piece of the pie is.

A husband who loves me through it all.

5 amazing babies who think I hung the moon.

And the feeling that nothing is outside my reach.

I look at pictures I take of my kids and hope they know how good they have it.

I look at pictures of my kids realize all my dreams have come true in this life.

They are “spoiled fresh” as Jake says and I will do everything I can for that to continue for them.

This is the American Dream.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

We pulled off our best Halloween! Possibly ever! Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully. He even had the cutest song he sang. I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
