Here are my men...my world is surrounded by them 24/7. I love them...each and every one of them. Ben frequently asks me who I love the best. The first time he asked this question, he was hoping I would list in this order: Ben 1st, Daddy 2nd, Sam 3rd, and Conner last. I asked him why he wanted it in this order and he said this: "Mommy, I always tell you you're beautiful so I should be first. You love daddy after me because he's your boyfriend. And Sam and Conner are last because they don't love you as much as I do."This was a great opportunity to teach Ben a little lesson about marriage. I told Ben that I love him more than he could ever imagine. I explained that he is a gift from God and he is one of the most precious people in my life. I told him that as much as he wanted me to say his name first, I would always list Daddy before him. I explained the importance of mommies and daddies putting each other first and that, in turn, helps keep the rest of our family happy. Ben told me that he was pretty happy so it must be working.
My boys will always love me, but they are going to get older and fall in love with "another"(other than me:-)). I know it's coming. And I am so fortunate and blessed to be able to, Lord willing, share that time with Taylor. God has poured his blessing on me with Taylor. I truly couldn't have handpicked someone better. Some call it luck...I call it God.
