Dear Grandma...

Dear Grandma,
Aaron just put Oee to bed but before she went she had to come in and pray by me. FYI, I would put her to bed but when I do I have a bad habit of either staying in her bed with her or begging Aaron to let her sleep with us. I know, I know. 2 years old is to old to sleep in the same bed as us but I just can't get enough of her and her sweet little voice. So anyways, she prayed and I am telling you it is the sweetest most precious thing I have ever heard. Her light voice sounds like heavenly chimes to my ears and when she prays it makes her beautiful voice that much better. And then when she screams at me it's the total opposite. ha ha I feel so lucky to have the best of both worlds. Maisy is a perfect chunk of rolls and and soft skin. She has started cooing and laughing. She does this open mouth fake cough thing when she does laugh and it cracks me up. She looks a lot more like a Brady than Oak does. Oak looks just like a miniature Courtney. But everyone says Courtney is a miniature me, so yeah Oak is just like her mommy. ha ha I still don't know what I did to deserve such gorgeous children and such an incredible husband. Aaron came up to me in the hallway last night right after I had put Oak to bed and finished getting ready for bed myself and just held me. He then pulled away, lightly kissed me, and smiled his perfect smile while looking into my eyes. He then said to me "We are so blessed". He explained to me that as he was laying on our bed with a smiling Maisy just staring at him, he was listening to me get out of the shower and shout to Oak to go back to bed after she would shout that she needed another toy to add to her pile of toys that she already sleeps with. She says whatever she can to try and get out of going to bed. I would say that that moment is one of the most precious moments of my life. The one that I am madly in love with telling me how blessed he thinks we are. Grandma, I nailed it by marrying him. He is the greatest thing ever to happen to me. I have been getting so close with Jenna lately too. She has grown up so much over this last month and half and she is my idol for giving up her life in Vegas to go to an unknown Idaho and start new. New place, job, people, experiences. The courage and faith that that takes to thrust yourself into the unknown is incredible to me. She is amazing and I ache to see her again. I feel so lucky to be able to call my mother and sisters my best friends, I love them so much and I am so proud of the blood line that I come from. The reunion is two weekends from and I can't wait to see you again. I love you grandma. I hope grump is feeling well. Kiss his forehead for me and tell him to kiss your cheek for me as well. Good night and Good Weekend!
Love, your granddaughter, Rotten Rach

I just love you! I wish you lived around the corner so we could be friends and your goodness could rub off on me. I love the way you see life and I want to be more like you! I keep thinking that my kids deserve a mom who sees them the way you see your kids. Life is all about trying harder so I will!
