Although a bit late, I thought I would give everyone a tour of why I’m so thankful using some of our vacation photos . . The most loving and supportive husband a girl could ask for and the best father to our son . . . The cutest, smartest, funniest and most loving little boy a mom could ever ask for … ...

Well, we’re all packed and ready for our first big family vacation to Orlando, Florida. Aside from the flight (I absolutely hate flying if you didn’t already know that), I am so excited and happy to just be there.

The post title says it all . . . I’m pregnant with baby #2! It has been a huge shock to us {and everyone else}. I was on birth control so this took us by complete surprise.

I immediately started bawling. I cried, Naaman cried, … ... [Read more...]

Let me go back a little in order to tell this story. My 29th birthday was December 6th. It was a nice day. My parents came over to our house around 8:00 p.m. when Naaman got off work to have cake. For as long as I can remember, my parents have sung happy birthday to me and I’ve usually had a cake … ... [Read more...]

Roxie’s two week post-op check up was yesterday. Naaman and I were both worried that the vet would say that her pins had come out of place. I prayed last night that they hadn’t because I didn’t want Roxie to have to go through another surgery. The vet was encouraged when he realized they hadn’t come … ... [Read more...]

Most everyone knows that I was in a car accident in March 2005 where I was rear-ended and sustained severe whiplash. I have suffered a lot ever since.
