SWIMWEAR FAVORITES SUMMER 2020

@jennnymatilda
Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our Today marks one of the absolute highlights of our life, because my so incredible and beyond brilliant husband got into his dream DOCTORATE program! You were meant for something magnificent, Dr. Tim😍 I am in absolute awe of this man. He’s the most hardworking person I’ve ever seen and his devotion to everything he decides to do is something I’ve never seen before. What makes it all so beautiful is his love for his family, for us. There’s literally nothing he wouldn’t do to make sure our future is as bright as we dream it to be. And I’m not talking about career wise only. This man always puts our marriage first and every day of our marriage he’s treated me like a flower. We know our love is so divine and special and we both work to ensure that in this ugly world, it stays that way. I know our sons will be loving and dedicated husbands because they see their daddy love their mama so much🤍 His determination to be the best dad and role model for Jussi and baby brother is so powerful it moves mountains. He leads them to be great men, and I can’t wait until they can watch their daddy walk the stage as a DOCTOR and chant him on on the day of his graduation😭And when I say he loves us, he loves himself too. Getting his doctorate is something that we planned for years ago, because the desire and ambition to reach his full potential has always been there. I’m so happy to see him full of passion and fire and get where he wants to be as a man. And I couldn’t be more thankful to call him my husband. I can’t believe how blessed our family is.🤍 Baby, I’m so honored to stand by you the way you’ve stood by me. I’m so in love with you. I promise to be there for you through every storm and sunshine on this journey. Beaming with pride, now and always. I’ll forever be your number one fan🤍
FIGHT ON!✌️ @uscedu #proudwife #trojanpride #symbolofsuccess

He might not be here yet but rest assured he made He might not be here yet but rest assured he made his own appearance last night!😜🥰❤️ My little love is so so so active in mama’s belly and I think he just really wants to join the family already 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 I couldn’t not post a photo including the THIRD love of my life so here we go, Happy Holidays from the little bundle of love whose heart beats beneath mine 💙 #bestchristmasgift #twosons #boymama #happyholidays
MERRY CHRISTMAS from me and mine to you and yours! MERRY CHRISTMAS from me and mine to you and yours!❤️ #christmastime #allthatiwant #mostwonderfultimeoftheyear
God knows how much I love the men in my life, so h God knows how much I love the men in my life, so he wanted to bless us with another little BOY!💙 Tears run down my cheeks every time I think of Jussi’s little brother and how honored I am to be having another son for my husband. Raising men is truly such a high calling. I pray my sons will be strong and courageous, standing up for those who need it. That they’ll also know how to love fiercely and have gentle & loving hearts. I pray they’ll always have a spirit of respect and kindness in everything they do. That they’ll speak their truth and stand behind their actions and words. I pray my boys will be noble and godly men who persevere even when life throws them their toughest challenges. But most of all, I pray that my sons will know their heritage. Not only both of their home countries and the amazing qualities they have, but also the heritage of their forefathers - on both sides. If they’ll have even an ounce of the discipline, ambition, and hard-workiness that their father, grand-fathers, and other men in the family have then I know I’ve done my job as a mother. My sweet Jussi and baby brother, äiti loves you until the day I leave this earth and forever after that🤍
