Being Parents...

Scott and I were just talking last night and we can't believe how quickly the past 9 months have gone!! It was in February when we found out that we were expecting with our first baby. We were so thrilled when we found out....and can't believe that it is October already, and in just a few short weeks we will meet our little bundle of joy!! We're so excited!!! It's unlike anything we've ever gone through in our entire lives. What a miracle and a blessing to not only have a new life in the family, but also to be starting a family with the person that you love!! We are really looking forward to being parents. I know Scott will be such a great dad!! He's a Christian man which is most important, and he is also so loving, kind, understanding, patient, forgiving....I could go on and on!! :) The most important thing to us as parents is that our children not only grow up knowing they are loved and have parents who will always be there, but also that they will grow up in a Christian home, one where Christ is the center of our family and all we do, and knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I am so thankful to my parents for being such wonderful role models and for bringing us up in a Christan home where we felt loved, secure and above all, where we saw and learned what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ....allowing us to truly get to know Him and make Him the Lord of our lives. I think that's one of the most important things a parent can do for their children...is to have that Christian foundation set in their home, where their children can grow in the Lord and come to know Him as their Lord and Savior!!
