Happy Birthday, Olivia!

Tuesday, May 22, 8:36 am

OliviaToday is Olivia’s birthday. She is seven years old.

I’m so excited to have a seven year old, but it makes me stop to think that ten years ago, I didn’t think I would ever have children.

When I was a kid, I thought I would have a house full of kids.  I LOVED kids!  I babysat all the time and I just loved it.

But, I made several bad decisions and by the time I was 30, I had come to the conclusion that it just wasn’t going to happen…so, I tried to convince myself that I didn’t want kids.

That was where I was when I met my husband, and he was really disappointed when I said that I didn’t want to have children.  He wanted a big family, and unlike me, he hadn’t given up on his dream.

I must say, though, it didn’t take me long to jump back on the bandwagon. :wink:

We were married in March of 1999 and in May of 2000, we had started our family.  We’ve never looked back and now, we have a houseful…and a heart full…of wonderful, growing children.

Thank God for all His many blessings!
