So I was watching tv the other day and saw this commercial…and had to post it.
I chuckled out loud and so related. If only we could, but we can’t. What we can do though is even more powerful than Capri Sun juice….shocking, I know! We can pray, and we can hand them over to Jesus on a daily basis. And we can listen to them at night before bed when they share their hearts, and make them kiss us in public until we embarrass them:) And love. We can create an environment where they know, no matter what they’ve done, or did, or will yet do…they are LOVED!
I love being a mommy. Thank you Jesus for this amazing gift of motherhood!
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
