Family.

I have been incredibly blessed in this department. I not only have 1 father, I have 2 dads. I not only have 1 mother to turn to, but 2. I have always known that I am luckier than most but days like today make me sit down, think, and pray to out gracious Lord for allowing me to have such beautiful people in my life.

When I was 5 years old my mom met the man who changed my world. Shawn and mom dated for a measly 6 weeks before he knew he wanted to be stuck with us forever. Shawn, what were you thinking? Over the years Shawn's fuse has gotten longer, his beautiful hair has all but disappeared, and he has been a wonderful father to me. I was no easy child to raise, and being a step father to a teenage girl is no job I would ever want to have, but he faced the challenge head on and I credit a huge part of the person I am to him. I don't know where I would be without him and my mom. They are truly a God send. Although I am 99% sure that he has never read my blog and will never see this, but I still want to share with my readers what a wonderful man he is. He is a man with wonderful values and a kind heart. He will go to the ends of the earth for his family, especially his girls. My mom, myself, Sydney and Lilly are lucky to have him. He is one of the best men I know. Correction, he is the best man I know. Shawn, thank you for everything you have ever done for us. We love you more than you know.

On top of having such a wonderful step father, I have a beautiful mom who has sacrificed so much for us. I have a Daddy who will always call me his Princess and a step mom who will always be there when I feel like I cant talk to anyone else. Family. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with these amazing people. I will never deserve them.

I will bless you with a future filled with hope- a future of success, not suffering. You will turn back to me and ask for help, and I will answer your prayers. You will worship me with your heart, and I will be with you and accept your worship. -Jeremiah 29:11-14
