Enjoying the whole journey
“I’ve had a rough month,” would be an understatement. Surely I’m not this big of a baby, but I have had at least 15 days where I wanted to stay in bed and cry all day. I’m learning a lot though. Things I didn’t know about pregnancy and that no one could explain to me…
Freezer Burn

Packing, Stuffed Peppers and Baby Preparation
Over the next year we will be sharing our story as we go after the 2011 goals that we have set for ourselves. Everyday we either move closer to our goals or further away.
