Hi, this is Terra.
Sometimes....okay, a lot of times, I want to be like someone else. I want to be super-woman and have it all and do it all. I realize that I'm not. And honestly, I'm so blessed with what I have. One day....or month or so, I came up with a list of things that make me who I am. Read this if you want, but I won't be offended if you don't. I've decided that as imperfect and horrible as I am...I'm still pretty amazing. So here's part of me in list form and in no particular order.

Loved this post! So honest and so . . . AMAZING! Love you Terra.
I love all those things about you...probably even the one's that you don't like so much about yourself. Isn't that interesting?? You truly are amazing. And...I miss you too...SO much really. And I really do look forward to you getting to stay home too. And I am so glad that we both love pink and chocolate. I think they are the foundation for so many good things! :) Oh, Terra...I miss you!! (And I love you too!)
What a perfect little snippet of who you are! Thanks for sharing... Josh did well!
You are amazing CG!!
Heck yes you are! And I love it when Damen goes to bed and in the morning when he wakes up too, it's just a perfect break!!
PS because of your braces you could tell people you're only 20 and they'd probably believe you, because of how you act too:) Love you!!
I also sleep on my stomach. It's like heaven... which makes pregnancy hard. Also, I have old lady hands simply because they're super wrinkly. Genetic, I think, as my sisters are the same. And for the record, I think good moms always feel inadequate. If they thought they were all that and a bag of chips, they probably weren't trying that hard. Being an amazing mother is a heck of a lot of work. (You should know.) :) We need to have you guys over for dinner. Imperfections and all. ;)
You are super amazing and I'm lucky to have an awesome set of neighbors :-)
