so blessed.

today, may 11th, our little manchild is two months old.

to: david monroe oldham

this last sunday {mothers day} your dad blessed you in church and since then i have not been able to push the feeling aside of just how incredibly and overwhelmingly blessed you really are.

first of all, i hope that you know and grow to appreciate the amazing man that your father is. not only will he always make you laugh and teach you how to wakeboard, but he will lead you by his example, to live a honest life, be the best friend a person can ask for, to uphold the priesthood and to love the Lord with all your heart. i hope you know how much i love him and how grateful i am that he is your father - we are both so very lucky to have him.

second, i hope that you know how many people love you. your extended family is made up of people who want the very best for you and who will encourage you from your very first step to the day you open your mission call {and further, of course}.

last of all, as cheesy as this sounds, i hope you know how honored i feel to be your mother. we are coming up on trying times and i know that you were saved for these days to be a beacon of light in our little family as well as to all of those you come in contact with. your smile, even now, warms up a room and i know that feeling will only become stronger as you learn and grow each day.

i love you. with all of my heart, i love you kiddo.
