Joey is my best friend.
We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her.
We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009.
I love being a Christian, even when it’s hard.
I’ve tried IVF. Twice.
It worked. Once.
That’s how we got Analie.
I’m always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things)
I’m live in Indiana.
I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening.
I get my news from NPR.
Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.
I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping.
I’m a big fan of weekends.
My bike’s name is Thunder.
I’m a youth pastor’s wife.
I dig cows.
I don’t handle stress well.
I’m not good at fishing; I talk too much.
Cooking and baking are my favorite.
I love hanging out with my girlfriends!
I’m a budding environmentalista.
I love me my Joey.
Texas is where we “came of age”.
I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda.
Conservation is beautiful.
I’m a neat freak.
I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products.
Green is my favorite color.
Still.

Cogratulations on the baby!
So I have no clue who you are and you have no clue who I am but I wanted to say congratulations on the new baby. I got to your site because I was looking for a picture of what 12 inches of snow looks like and your photo came up. I too am from Texas (moved to Georgia in 98) so I know how few and far between any type of winter is in Texas. Anyway I started to read your blog and found it to be funny. Good luck with being a new mom it is so much fun.
Hello, my name is Tyrone Howard. I am a US Navy veteran with 15 years of active duty service, but I am currently a college student. I recently completed a nine minute short film titled “Unforeseen” which is about second chances. I have been showing it around to my friends through facebook and I have gotten a very good response from parents and particularly parents who have or have friends who have had difficulties birthing children. I know you do not know me but I would like to share my short film with you and (if you like it) any other parents or anyone on your blog that may also like it. I have included the link to the vimeo page. I would also like to ask you one more thing, if you watch it, could you email me and let me know your opinion, comments or feedback please? I wish you the best of luck in all you do and in life. Thank you for your time and I really hope that you will enjoy it. http://vimeo.com/27601934
Tyrone, I just saw your film. What a masterpiece! My wife and I also lost our second baby, and it still brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. Now we have a third child, and what a blessing he is! Thank you for sharing. Very touching!!
