My second day of thanks is laughter. Laughter is the best medicine, they say. They also say that you can either laugh or cry although most times, I do both.
I love a good laugh. The kind of laugh where your smile hurts because you've been laughing so hard. I sometimes have a musical laugh. (it goes up and down in a scale) Justin has a great secret laugh that I can't share or I may be killed that I adore. Natalie's laugh is long and loud. Mat's laugh is a guffaw. Libby's laugh is super contagious. Just last night she was laughing at herself in the mirror because she was making funny faces at herself.
I will admit that I don't laugh as much as I should because there is always something else that I need to do. Something always need to be cleaned or someone is always fighting with someone else. I wonder what would happen if we just had fun. I will play with my kids when we have more space. Right and then something else will come up. It is time to STOP and play. My children will only be children once.
This brings me to day of thanks number 3 = my family.
My family is my everything. Justin and I are going on almost 13 years of marriage and 18 years of knowing each other. I cannot imagine my life without Justin. He encourages me, believes in me and most of all, makes me laugh. For five long years, we tried to have kids on our own, but nothing worked. We had finally made the decision to adopt and were approved by LDS Family Services in Georgia. A few months later, we moved back to Utah and found a fertility doctor named Dr. Foulk with Utah Fertility Clinic to try a few last minute attempts. A miracle occured and our little Natalie was born.
Two years later, we went back to the same doctor and said we want to try again. After a failed attempt, we made the decision to do IVF. We got two more miracle babies, our beautiful twins, Mat and Libby. Our family is complete.
