8 months

 Today marks the day that I have had my sweet girls for 8 months. Somedays I really can't believe it has been that long and others it feels like we have had them forever. It has been insanely hard, incredibly frustrating, very emotional, but also wonderfully happy and full of love.

These are my babies, my daughters and I can't wait to make it official and someday take them to the temple to be sealed to us forever.

It has been such a hard journey for me personally. I have always wanted to be a mom, but once I became one, I found that I had no idea what I was doing. It made me feel a bit guilty because here I am, and someone hands me 3 beautiful kids that come from a hard unhealthy place an come to me and I felt like I was such a bad mother and all that patience I thought I had- well, I didn't have it and I was really hard on myself.

It got better and I made some changes in my life that made it easier to be a mom and I finally had that patience. I have also grown closer to my heavenly father lately, who helps me be everything those girls need, everyday. I will continue to grow as a person and become a better and better mom because of them. And I hope they will grow into amazing, successful and beautiful women inside and out because of me and my husband.
