Just about everyone who knows me knows that I love surprises. I create little ways to surprise myself each day.
I don't know when exactly I became aware of this fact.
I know that I didn't, unlike my sister, sneak into wrapped gifts. I know that when people told me they had a surprise for me I wouldn't beg to know what it was.
The best I can pinpoint it is to 1998. That's the year I got one of my best surprises~my sweet boy Kaleb. Kaleb Dylan. He is the answer to so many of my prayers.
When I found out I was pregnant I with him I was certainly not in an ideal situation.

I wasn't married. I didn't have a career. I had no goals and I certainly didn't know how to be a mom.
Over the years I have accomplished most of those things. I'm still working on what I want to be when I grow up but at least now I have a career in mind :)
Kaleb is a special boy.
He is amazingly smart-sometimes too smart for his own good!

He is becoming a master at sarcasm.
He has the sweetest heart.
He is an awesome cook.
He still holds my hand when we walk places and isn't embarrassed about it.
He adores his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He loves animals almost as much as I do.
At ten years old he still thinks I'm pretty cool.
He has always been incredibly observant.

He is kind and courteous.
I love when he sneaks into my bed at night and searches for my hand first thing. Then he doesn't let go all night no matter how much we shift.
He has a gift on the football field.
He makes me laugh constantly-It's saved his little behind numerous times!
He is learning to be a gentleman.
He loves hanging out with his friends.
His hands are magic on my neck after a stressful day.
He's more than I would have ever dreamt I deserve.
