The Perfect Everything

Have I mentioned how blessed I am?  I have the perfect dog, the perfect husband and the perfect child!  My son impresses me every day with his intelligence, care for others, and love for his parents.  He is such a people pleaser and really makes an effort in everything he does.  Trey is truly the love of my life and I thank God every day that he gave me such a wonderful child.

Trey is only 7 years old but I can see his sense of humor and his personality blossoming.  Watching him grow is one of the best things in life.  I know he will make mistakes in life, but I feel he has a really good foundation from which to grow.  He loves to draw, read, play games, ride his scooter and play sports.  My love for him gets deeper every day.  I plan to keep this blog as a way to remember the precious moments I have with him.  There have been too many that have been forgotten or buried deep in my heart.  He makes me laugh, makes me proud, and I am certain that his life will be full of prosperity and love. 

My dog, Bailey, is like none I've ever seen before.  She doesn't mess on the floor, chew anything she shouldn't, or eat food that is left unattended.  Seldom does she bark or do anything that is annoying.  She loves Alan more than anything, which boggles both of us since I was the one who had to fight to keep her.  She came into our lives as a "foster" dog and I promised I would get rid of her as soon as I found a home good enough for her.  Alan stepped in within a month and said there is no way we would find a home that would be suitable for her and we would be keeping her.  He teases her relentlessly about being the "foster dog", but Bailey and I both know there is no way Alan would ever let her go.  She is one of the most beautiful creatures on this earth and I pray every day for more time with her.  It seems unfair that we got her in the middle years of her life.  Now and then when I look at her I see more gray hair showing up on her muzzle and her toes and hope that she has many more years left.

To describe my family in a way that gives them credit they deserve will take many more blogs and I am excited to tell you about them.  This blog serves as an introduction to my family who I love and honor very much.  My husband has been my teacher, my best friend, and my sanity.  I admire his intelligence and strength.  The last eleven years with him have been interesting to say the least, but I hope all our greatest struggles are behind us and I look forward to spending the rest of our lives together.  I wouldn't be where I am today without him, and that is a good thing.
