Where should I start? My life has been so amazingly blessed. And I'm so thankful for all the blessings I have received. I have the BEST Family in the World! Let's start with my Parents... I can't even begin to write how incredible they are. My Dad set the Bar very high for finding a mate. I was blessed to have him as an example for what a husband and father should be. And my Mom....Wow, if I could be half the woman she is...She has defiantly taught me that I can do anything... They taught me that I should always stay in the center of God's will. And that is my prayer everyday. I just want to be in his will whatever that might be.
I am also blessed with 2 amazing Brothers!! They are both so talented I really don't know how I am part of this family. Andy has been blessed to play almost every musical instrument ever made. He has been traveling with w/my all time favorite band "lonesome river band" for the past 4 years. All while going to college.. And Aaron's just as talented on the instruments and is almost as good as Andy lol. He has been privileged to play college baseball at the University he is attending. I am so proud of both my brothers and love them dearly. I was blessed to have had almost 22 years to live with my family before I was married.
April 16,2005 almost 6 years ago I married the LOVE of my life and best friend Brandon Smith. We have learned so much about each other over these 6 years and I have never been more in love with him like I am today. The first 3 years of marriage Brandon was full time Student at MCC and Walsh College. He was also a full time employee at a Law Firm. The accounting classes were very brutal so that was a stressful time that I don't like to look back on too much lol. As you can imagine his life was in the books. And I kept busy working for Dr. Palmer orthodontist. And being involved in our Church. I remember one Christmas Party at Church my Mamaw Ball was my date :) We also bought a house Jan 2005 and fixed it up in time for us to live in after the wedding. Brandon graduated in March of 2008 which was an awesome feeling for us both and 1 month later April 4, 2008 we welcomed our first born Elijah Cole Smith into our lives he was 5lbs 15oz
What a Miracle!! Life has never been the same since that day. We are so thankful. There is nothing like welcoming your baby into the world. I took 3 months off work and then went back to work 2 days a week. That about killed me. I hated leaving my baby. After a year of that I was able to leave my job and be a stay at home mommy. I must say that it has been a huge blessing and I'm enjoying every minute of it. 2 year and 2 months after Eli was born we welcomed our second born Ethan Colt Smith into out lives he was 6lbs 4oz.
Elijah is a very proud big bother and is always asking where Ethan is whenever he's not in eye sight. I love that he looks out for him. I have a feeling they will be best friends someday. I am so in love with my boys and can't imagine life without them. God is SO GOOD!! Brandon's started a new job Mid May of last year. It has really been a God Send. It is a international company that is based in Germany and he has seen his responsibilities increase drastically here at the U.S. location. God has also been dealing with Brandon this past year. He has really had a burden for teaching theology. Right now he is teaching the adult SS class at church. And I'm excited to see what else is in store for him in the near future. Well, I guess I will close my very first blog here. Thank You God for my wonderful life!!!
