Welcome to my world

I am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister and a friend.
I've learned that who you have in your life matters more than what you have.
Thank you for stepping in to my world!

Kicking cancer's ass - day 1510

October 15 - Over 2.8 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today.



Today is a special day, so it deserved an encouraging fact.  It sucks that there are so many cases of breast cancer, but how awesome is it that there are MILLIONS of people alive who have fought this disease?!?!?!?

Sixteen years ago today I married the love of my life. 
Hubby and I have had our share of ups and downs.  We've seen each other through sickness and health, good times and bad, for richer or poorer.  If there is ever a man who truly lives his marriage vows, it's my husband.

Hubby.... you are my rock.  My friend, my confidante, my soul mate.  You make me laugh even when I don't want to.  You are an amazing dad.  You are a genuinely good man.  I'm blessed to have had you by my side every day for the last sixteen years.... and then some.

I love you more today than ever.
Happy Anniversary. 


Today is a special day for two other reasons.  
October 15th was my dear friend Allyson's birthday.  Not a day goes by where I don't think of her.  Her picture hangs on my fridge so her sweet face is one of the first things I see every day.  She left her mark on this world, especially me.  I miss her friendship, her laugh, her silly songs, her inspiring faith.... I miss her.

October 15th is also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

This is another "1 in 8" that I didn't really ever want to be a part of.  
Hubby and I have two angel babies in heaven.... babies that we never got to see or hold, never got to name, never even got to hear their heartbeat.  But they were babies we loved and grieved for.
We are so blessed that God chose us to be parents to J and K..... but I'll never forget what might have been.
