I'd like to think so. All anyone can do is try their best, and nobody is ever really ready for the chaos that ensues when you become a parent.
I hear a lot of people say that as long as they don't out like their parents they'll be happy. Well I think that if I turn out like my mama I'd be pretty darn pleased. She always did what was best for me, even if I didn't think it at the time, and went without to make sure we had the best she could afford.
Part of me can't wait to be a mama. I'm excited to have a little human that's part of me and the man I love, and teach them all the things we know. I am inspired daily by the great parents I am proud to be friends with; like Caitlin and Mitch George, Doug and Alex Hale, and Sara and Jeff Taylor. The way they are all raising their children to be people of the world and live with open minds and hearts fills me with so much excitement for what I can create in my own family.

And then there's another part of me that's scared crazy... I guess the only way I'll know is 20 years after it actually happens and they tell me if I did a good job.
