About Us

Marc and I have been married since October 14, 2005. We dated 4 years before taking the plunge! On December 14, 2007 we were blessed with our little girl Abigail (Abby). She weighed a healthy 8lbs 15ounces. She came a week before her due date. (I was induced) She is a sassy 4 year old and always keeps us laughing. On September 9, 2011 our sweet baby boy, Matthew, arrived weighing an even healthier 9 lbs 6 oz. We also have a dog (Layla) and a cat (Sissy). We moved into a new home in North Phoenix in May of 2007. It was so fun to watch the progress of it being built. Hard to believe we have already lived here 4 years. We are still changing paint colors on the walls! The picture above is from our trip to Kauai in 2006 for our one year wedding anniversary. Can't wait to go back again someday when the kiddos are a little older! I started this fun little blog so friends and family can stay updated on what is going on with us (since I am so horrible about making phone calls and sending e-mails). Hope you enjoy!

Thankful Thursday

Today I am so thankful that I have my arms and legs. During a rare good nap by Abby yesterday I was able to watch Oprah. They had a mom on who gave birth to her daughter 13 months ago. After her daughter was born she (the mom) got an infection. The infection was basically from a flesh eating bacteria. She had to have her uterus, ovaries, gall bladder, and part of her bowels removed. The infection spread to her arms and legs and doctors made the decision to amputate the bottom half of both her arms and legs. It was so incredibly sad to watch and I balled though the whole show. This woman has never once asked why me. When the Dr. told her they needed to amputate she just said "OK, the sooner the better so I can get home to my girls". I just can't even imagine what a struggle everyday life must be for her, let alone with a 13 month old. It really helps put things into perspective.
