You've got mail!

Sometimes, it's those little unexpected things that make you smile. Today, it was in the form of a random e-mail from a fellow mom I met during childbirth class. We've run into each other a few times since we had our little ones and it is always nice to see her and her darling daughter.

Her e-mail was sweet and unexpected and she went on to say that she kept up with my updates via Facebook. "...I admire something about you ... and that's how you find the time to do the things you love, like photography, writing on your blog, being with friends, taking part at church (singing), working out --all while going for your Masters! You seem like superwoman," she wrote.

Wow. Me? Superwoman? Hardly. She was being gracious. Because in my eyes, I couldn't do all the things I do without the support of my amazing family. Both my parents and in-laws help me out tremendously watching my little guy while I work and my husband, who although he can't wait for me to finish school (neither can I!), is very supportive in all that I do.

I'm not going to lie and pretend that my life is perfect. There are days when I'm overwhelmed with my giant to do list - but I wouldn't change any of it. Despite sacrificing an evening with my boys because of school, I am blessed to do what I love and that's what gives me the drive to do more. For God's glory and for my baby boy. I hope that in his eyes, I'll always be superwoman and that I'll serve as a positive example - to get an education and follow his dreams.

So I want to thank her for the random e-mail (it touched me more than you know), for making me smile and for helping me appreciate my life a little more than I did yesterday. I hope that I can do that for someone else every day.
