I love being a mom of boys! Especially now when two of them are teenagers. From time to time I get to see a glimpse of them as men\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; and it&#8217;s good.\u00c2\u00a0 I pray everyday that they make good choices!<\/li>\n<li><strong>My hubs<\/strong>. Even when he irritates me, I am SO thankful that he is the man I chose as a partner.\u00c2\u00a0 He&#8217;s patient when I&#8217;m grumpy. He&#8217;s quiet when I&#8217;m loud. Our partnership makes me believe we can meet any challenge life can throw at us &#8211; and it&#8217;s thrown some big ones at us!<\/li>\n<li><strong>My home.<\/strong> It&#8217;s not big.
