How’d I get so Lucky?

I’m the wife of:
A handyman
The workout encourager
My best friend
My number one fan
My prayer partner
A thinker
One heck of a painter
A grilling machine
Belle’s favorite human
My running partner
A focused, determined business man
An Eagle Scout
A planner
God’s best for me


I’m the daughter of
A man who died too soon, too young, too abruptly, and without goodbye
A teacher who’s taught many-a-kids their multiplication tables
The queen of teaching the proper use of may and can. “I don’t know, can you?”
Lovie
A jokester
A banker
Two Christian people who loved each other beyond measure
A 3rd grade teacher
A woman who’s walked a tough road with dignity and grace
The best roast ‘n potatoes maker in the world

I’m the sister of
A brown eyed girl who once had chocolate on her chin
A petite little spit fire
An X-ray tech
An amazing new mother
The most loyal woman around
A beautiful girl inside and out
The mother of an incredibly beautiful little girl who's brightened up our family beyond description

I’m the friend of:
A super-mom who I admire so much
Godly women who inspire me, teach me, and encourage me
Attorneys
Stay-at-home mothers
Amazing fighters
Funny people
Exercise junkies
Fellow shoppers
Chatty Cathys
Women who battle their weight along with me
Artists
Recovering addicts who amaze me every day!
Bankers
Caring, considerate people

I realized this on the way to work this morning. It does take all kinds to make the world go round. How blessed I am to be a part of so many lives. God's been so good to me, and I'm so thankful to Him! And to you for being who you are in my life!
