Happy 1st Birthday Colter!!

It doesn't seem possible, but its true. My little angel is turning ONE year old today. It has been the most amazing year of my life, that is for sure.

Prior to this day one year ago, I had a huge empty spot in my soul. I was always longing for more. What that more was, I did not know. What I did know, is that there had to be a reason god put me here. I was certain he did not make a mistake, but I was so lost and could not figure out what it was that would make my life complete. I felt like I just wanted something I could never have. After all, I had felt this way for many years. Changes that came about in my life, would briefly suffice my emptiness, but it would soon return. Little did I know, that on this day one year ago, the empty hole in my sole would be filled so full, that it would almost be overflowing.

Colter,

I love you so much. There are not even enough words in the english dictionary to describe how crazy I am about you. If I could tell every single person, animal and object on earth, how much I love you, I would. And I would do it a million times over. You have brought me so much joy. Every time you smile, you take my breath away. You are my world, my angel, my heart and my Hero! Just being your mom, makes me the luckiest gal in the world.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

About all I can say is - AMEN! I couldn't agree with everything you said anymore. These little ones sure do give us more than I ever thought possible. When one doesn't have kids, you don't know what you are missing that is for sure!

Happy Birthday Colter! Eat lots of cake!!
