I thought I'd share some pics of my favorite things, so here goes:
This is my Husband, a.k.a. "the hubs" or "hubby." This is a picture of him looking very dapper at work. He'll probably kill me for choosing this pic, but I think he's so handsome! He is the love of my life! We got married on May 21, 2005 after dating for a LONG time! We practically grew up together and he is truly my very best friend! He loves all things computer, fishing, pirates, magic, guitar....pretty much a multi-talented individual...kinda nerdy at times, but I love it. I was crazy about him before we had our son, but seeing him with our 4 year old is something I just can't describe! He's crazy fun, makes me laugh every day, and we have helped one another through some very difficult times in our years together! I look forward to growing old with him! He is my heart!
I'm sad to say that this is the only pic of my family I could find of us all together! This is from a recent beach trip we took that was great! The hubs couldn't go, so we were missing him, and I'm sure Thatcher is behind me in the surf, because when on the beach, he NEVER gets out of the water! From right to left: My daddy, my sis-in-law, my baby brother, Jordan, my Mama, my adorable niece, Willow June, and her Daddy, my middle brother, Jarrod. This is the Glasgow clan! I'm insisting we have official family pics made soon.
This is my Mama! She is all things I aspire to be! Pretty much my hero. Amazing friend, mother, housekeeper, chef, and to see her with her grand-babies is to see her at her best! I've always loved and adored her, but to see her with my son and my niece...WOW! Words can't describe! She's my # 1 confidant...sometimes I'm sure she wishes that wasn't part of her job! ; ) Her legacy is great, and I pray to live up to it each day! I had a lot of great pics of Mama with my daddy and some others with her grands, but I chose this one because it highlights why she's our miracle! She is an ovarian cancer SURVIVOR!! We praise God EVERY DAY for this, our mom, our miracle!
I love this pic! It's the Glasgow Men! They may look big and bad, but they are all big giant, soft-hearted teddy bears when it comes down to it. My middle brother, Jarrod is on the left. As kids we were arch enemies at times, but now, he is someone I go to for advice, counsel, prayer! He is an amazing daddy and wonderful husband, and one of the most Godly men in my life! I value his opinon on things and he always gives wonderful, 100% honest advice. He chose the perfect sister for me and they created the most adorable little girl to ever walk this Earth!
Jordan, the baby of the fam, is on the right! He is the most caring, gentle, would do anything for anyone person I know. He will go out in the yard in 100 degree weather, among swarms of mosquitos and gnats, to play anything and everything my son wants to play. He is smart WAY beyond his years and such a hard worker. He is willing to do anything asked of him and he is also a man of God. He is ALWAYS good for a laugh, which, according to Jarrod and I, is probably why he is the FAVORITE! HA!
And then there is my Daddy! I must say, I'm kind of a Daddy's girl. He has always been the provider for our family and he is our go-to guy for pretty much anything! He has created so many beautiful things with his hands. His love for my Mama never ceases to amaze me. He is dedicated, hard-working, loving, gentle, and I'm pretty sure my hubby gets tired of hearing me say, "Fine! I'll get my daddy to do it!" My daddy has been a rock for our family and is such a comforting, loving man! I love him to the moon!
Next comes the hubby's family! I'm so blessed because God not only made my family amazing, but the family I married into are just as amazing! On the back row you find the hubs, Ben, our step-brother, Justin, the hub's younger brother. Adrian is on the end and he is a close family friend who has been through so much with us that he's now adopted in, whether he likes it or not. On the front you find me and Thatch, my mom-in-law, Cathy and her husband, Tiger. Heather and her adorable littles, Kaycee and Jayce, round out the family. This pic was taken on our annual family beach trip. Big props to Cathy for insisting we have family pics made even through all the grumbling of her sons! This crew is a sight to behold, and there is NEVER a shortage of laughter in the Hitt house! Tiger and Cathy insist on weekly family dinner nights in their home each Monday and those times are golden. Memories are being made and I thank God for the blessing of this family!
Now, for the cutest thing you will EVER see on this blog. Something the hubs actually helped in creating and my most treasured creation! Our 4 year old son, Thatcher. He is our life. He is loved so by so many and he has no idea. God has richly blessed this family and I am eternally grateful to Him for the simple fact that my son has so much love surrounding him. He will never go a single day without feeling love, acceptance, encouragement. I know because I have grown up feeling all these things and more.
This is my little family. There were several pics of the 3 of us that were a lot better, but this one is so us. Happy, in love, laughing a LOT! This is just us! Pure joy....pure love...pure blessing! Excited about the future, watching Thatcher grow and learn, seeing LeAlan achieve dreams, and adding new little Carters to the clan!
So...this is me. This is who I am, who I love, what I create. There are so many more people in my life that make me who I am...I really could go on and on and on. I wonder, daily, how God could love so much to bless me with all that I have. The friends and family I hold dear give me a tiny glimpse of the extravagant love my God has for me. Its unimaginable, and I pray that I never take a second of it for granted.
