OK...WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?!?

Where in the world does the time go?  Wasn't it yesterday that my children were babies, that the days seemed to last, and that I couldn't remember when the last time I used the bathroom alone was?  And now Brittani's has gone to college, Nathan is in high school, and Connor is in 5th grade.  I'm home alone (with occasional visits from Rick) for most of the day, and I want so badly to go back in time.  I remember people telling me when my kids were little, to treasure every minute because it goes by way too fast - but I really didn't know how fast it would truly go.  I am so thankful, SO THANKFUL for my babies.  I'm thankful for what they have taught me and for what they teach me every day.  I'm thankful to my Heavenly Father for trusting me with their sweet, amazing, unique spirits, and I'm so thankful for His help along the way.  I'm thankful for my Rick - for the dad he is and the husband he is.  I'm thankful for a teammate who loves our children as much as I do, and wants the same things for them, and worries about them, and cries when they are amazing and when they aren't so amazing.  I am thankful for this beautiful life.
