My husband, my precious baby girl, my amazing mom and dad who have been such support this year, my wonderful sister, music and the ability to praise God in this avenue, moms/friends who give me good advice (especially Deanna who lets me vent everything to her on the phone while both our babies are crying), decaf. coffee (I can pretend that way), books to share with Ella, my terrific sister-in-law, chocolate, loving in-laws, Momma Sweeny for just being her amazing self, Bethany’s (Kinney) consistent encouragement and compliments that are given at the most needed times, window shopping, Ella’s kisses and hugs, our house, sharing lip gloss with Megan, my hair dryer/hot rollers, a sink with running water, indoor plumbing, hearing Stevan say, “I love you,” the Olive Garden and yummy smelling candles. Of course there are more but these come quickly to mind.
