Yes to our family!

There seem to be many days where I CHOOSE to embrace the chaos of our family and all it's faults, quirks and nuances. On those days, I always feel more blessed than getting aggrivated by the chaos. On the days I CHOOSE to "make it great day" even when Jon at the fire station I begin to fall in WONDER and AWE of my sweet kiddos, rather than allow frustration and disappointment to mount. I am so glad God gives me gentle nudges to CHOOSE HIM and His ways in down times of life, simply put. I am currently longing to spend more time with extended family and my gutt is telling me it is not a mutual feeling. I am attempting to accept that fact and create extensions and laughter from all that I have within my current immediate family. I loved yesterday and the 4th of July with the Druxman family and realize each time I have  a BLESSED day that we are RICH beyond meausre b/c of our love for Jesus, our hopeFUL family, and our amazing, inspiring friends we have circled around ourselves. I wanted to write this down as a reminder on those DOWN days that I have everything and my needs are met; my buckets are full, even when I forget. Heck, we live in AMERICA which brings me joy and we love the LORD--enough said.  Jon you work so very hard and I SO APPRECIATE your ethic, your spirit and your commitment to support our family. We are high-fiving you from a distance every time you are at work--your SERVICE to others shines through to us as kids and your wife. Love you all Heggie clan, even as crazy and not well mannered as we'd like to be...Thank you military for working so hard for our freedoms in the country. xoxo
