"ONLY AN AUNTIE...
Can love you like a mommy,
Keep secrets like a sister,
Behave like a true friend
& can kick your butt if needed!"
Let me be completely honest with you, I really can not wait to have kids of my own. My husband on the other hand...I'm sure he can wait for a while longer (even though he tells me different). Which is probably the reason why Heavenly Father hasn't blessed us with any yet, because He knows that one of us isn't quite ready. I am in no way pushing or forcing it on my husband because I know that someday-sooner or later-our time for babies will come. I trust that my Father in Heaven will send them to us when we're both good and ready. =)
Because truth be told, financially, we're far from being ready. People tell us all the time, "What are you guys waiting for? If it's to be financially steady, it's NEVER gonna happen." Which is true. You'll never have enough money unless you're a millionaire...and let's face, we are nowhere close to that. In fact, we're quite the opposite. Haha but money isn't what makes US work. We live with what we have and try to count the blessings we are blessed with daily. It's easy to forget how much we truly have when we're worried about worldy things. Another thing, we really enjoy our alone time. Not having to look for a babysitter when we wanna go out. We like our freedom to up and go without having to worry about if it'll be okay for the babies or not, etc. So that's another reason why we're not too bummed about being "late" parents. =) Even though we dated for 5 years prior to getting married, and have been married for almost 2 years, we're still learning so much about each other. So we have confidence that the Lord knows what he's doing. He's telling us, "Fear not. Trust in me." That...we are doing. =)
But the saying above inspired me to post a blog because since I'm not a Mom at the moment, I can still be the BEST Auntie to my nieces and nephews that I can be. So this is to all my babies...

I love you all so very much. You mean the world to me and even when I have kids of my own, you guys will still hold a very special place in my heart. I'm always here if you need me and I'll also always be here to kick you in the rear when you need it. Follow your dreams, always remember where you come from and who you represent.
Love Always,
Aunty Chrislynn
P.S.
A big thank you to my brothers and their wives for letting us borrow their kids whenever we want!!
