Our little family.It seems like it has been years since I started this blog, and than again, it seems like it was just yesterday that I started a blog. This blog was started as a means to express my grief. It was back in the day when blogging was still a pretty new concept. My first posts were basic, and just glimpses of our life. Than I had a hard day. I remember the grief I felt that day, I remember laying in bed, sobbing while writing that post. Knowing I had to get things off my chest, or else I would slump into a depression, which would have been far from healthy. As I posted, I feel I became a better writer, more effective at writing my feelings.
Mike and our little fighter.You see, I remembered back to when I had three days when I was pregnant with Ryker, where I did not get out of bed. I sat there and cried and cried. Mike even called my OB to see about what to do. Mike finally got me help and took me to a counselor. That was an ugly part of my life.
This blog has allowed me to share my ups and downs.
Picture with our sweet Ryker.One of my favorite ups was blogged here. We shared our moments of grieving, we shared in the moments of others around us grieving. Tears of happiness and tears of joy were shed while writing posts. But all along the way, we have blogged. I wish we had listened to a wise friend while up at Primary's (talking about you Shauntelle!) that blogging truly is easy and your really do not have to be computer
literate and had blogged while we had Ryker, but hindsight is 20/20.
At Primary's Memorial for those children who had passed away.I won a Make-over, we made a few fun trips (blogged here and here) and had some really cute nieces and nephews born!!! We were chosen for adoption and than let down, chosen again, suffered for a few weeks, brought our baby home, finalized, sealed and blessed. Blogging has allowed to share these moments with you, our amazing supporters. Your comments have lifted us, and cheered us along during hard times.
Meeting Collin for the first time.But I know that this blog will be something our little family can look back on
and read about some truly important moments of our life
(and someday I will finally make a blog book, maybe this Christmas or something!)
Bringing Collin home.So here is to celebrating the little milestones. And here is to many more posts!!!
*And tomorrow there will be a small give-away as a little thank-you to all our readers!
