Merry Christmas To One And All! :)

Holidays are always a great time for family, and I'm glad I am with mine. I am having much fun having my brother here to bug everyday now. I am also very happy to have my mom, dad, & Kaden here to make the holidays merry and bright in our beloved home. 

Although I miss my husband so much this christmas season, I only take comfort in his promise that this is our first and last christmas apart. I am grateful for all his love and support, and that despite the distance, he does not let a single day go by without me knowing and feeling that he's there for me and Kaden. :) 

This year has been a great year and there are so many blessings in my life that I am thankful for, most especially the gift of now belonging to a new family. Someone once told me that no matter how great a marriage is, it's really nothing special unless you have gained a family. So aside from my family, I am thankful for my husband's family which is now also my own. 

I am also very thankful for my friends. I have often told my husband that when it comes to that area, I consider myself to be very very blessed to have such loyal and true friends. I know not everyone can say that about theirs that is why I treasure mine so much. You can't always be lucky in all relationships, you can't have it all, that's just how the world works. So I'm very content that my relationship with my nuclear family, my in-laws, and my very good friends is more than great. I am very lucky for all the love and support that I get. 

Everyday in my life since September 2005, I have been thanking God for the blessing of a son. Seeing him grow up so fast right before my eyes everyday has been a great pleasure that I will never ever trade for anything else. Kaden is a darling, not just to me but to everyone around him. I have never ever seen such a loving and caring little boy, and I am not just saying that because he is my son. Sometimes, I worry that I spoil him too much, but when he starts telling me things to cheer me up when he sees I'm down and when he tells me how much he loves me, I can't help but think that I am probably doing something right there. 

So mostly this 2008, and more than the gifts I have received this holiday season, I am very thankful for the wonderful people that God put in my life, as well as for the life experiences He brings me to in order for me to grow as a person He wills me to be and be a better person to those I hold dear. 

Many great things to come in 2009. I can feel it. I am also very very excited about our miracle baby being born in April. Among many, many other things. :)

I absolutely love my life.
