I'm Gonna Miss This...

Well, I'm finally doing it. I'm blogging! I saw all these other great blogs from friends and thought it would be a neat way to keep a journal, while keeping in touch with family and friends far and near.

I would like to explain the title of my blog. While I was contemplating even doing a blog, I kept coming back to the thought that our life is far from perfect so who would want to read about it and then I thought, "when I'm old and gray, I will because no matter how imperfect my life seems to be at any given moment, at the same time, I realize how wonderfully perfect it is (even if only to me). Anyway, the other night, I was watching The Celebrity Apprentice with Ariel ,while Cecily was sleeping in my lap, and Trace Adkins sang his #1 hit single, "You're Gonna Miss This". I thought it was beautiful and I got teary eyed listening while looking down at Cecily. Then, I looked over at Ariel and saw this beautiful girl who was no longer that baby I held in my arms what seems like such a short time ago. My heart was full and I realized how much that song holds meaning in my life and that one day I would miss all the fun, chaos and love my daily life provides me. It was then that I realized I need to live in the moment and enjoy all that life has to offer: the good, the bad and the ugly.

I told Mike that when I think the girls are going to drive me insane with their bickering, I'm just going to stop and think..."I'm Gonna Miss This". So here I am blogging so that when my memory is failing me, I can look back and have something to remember. I hope as you read that you will find something worthwile in our "imperfectly perfect" world.
