March of 2008 my life changed significantly for the umpteenth time, the Good Lord blessed me with a healthy, beautiful, baby girl. The way I felt when I heard her first cry is unexplainable, and still to this day my heart is filled with love and joy more and more.
The first few weeks of Gracie's life were glorious. I was able to be home with my sweet girl, my mom was coming over during the day to help, and Jamie was able to be home with us every night. Unfortunately this would end soon. When Gracie was just over four weeks old I had to go back to work. For the first two years of Gracie's life I spent countless hours at work and time away from my family. As anyone can imagine this began to take a toll on me and my husband, and our troubles began. Fortunately enough Jamie never stopped fighting for us to be a family, and we made some changes. Jamie took a different job allowing me to quit mine and go back to school. For the last year I have been able to stay home with our little blessing as well as work on getting into nursing school.
The last year has had its ups and downs, and we have had to make many changes to how we live. But overall I couldn't be more blessed to have a man who sacrifices so much to take care of his family and give me everything I want.
