A Quiet Anniversary

Today is my 1st wedding anniversary. I cannot believe that a year ago today Pat and I said I do in a small room with my parents and his family. As I sit here, so thankful for the man God brought into my life and allowed me to fall in love with, I cannot help but think about where I was a year and one week ago.
I was in the hospital (TWICE) trying to make sure that my sweet baby bear did not make his debut too early (as uncomfortable as I was starting to feel). I was so scared. I didn't have my family or Pat near me and often felt so alone. Thank God for my sister who stepped up and was there for me 100%. All I had to do-from day 1- was call her and she dropped everything and came to me. Katie-I love you and will never be able to thank you for everything you did for me, Ryder, and Pat.

Today is quiet, at least for now as Ryder is napping, and I am so thankful for all the blessings God has given me.
