A blog about us. our lives. our struggles. our victories.

Rob and Anne-marie

Seriously.  Do you think I’m joking?  B/c I’m not. So let’s have some real talk.  Having a newborn in the house is tough and anyone that says anything different is either lying or trying to sell you something. I called a lot of my friends who have kids and asked them, “is it supposed to […]

It was the kind of news that is etched into your memory forever. Like watching your child being born, except the complete opposite of emotions.  Perhaps it is more like remembering where you were and what you were doing when the attacks on 9/11 happened.  Because that’s what it felt like, and that’s what it […]

After putting our adoption story out there for the world, as well as our daughter’s diagnosis of GA-1, we received tons of emails, texts and phone calls.  The outpouring of love was amazing and Rob and I were truly touched by it all. So many people had those initial feelings that Rob and I did […]

This blog is just to tell our story.  I started it in 2011 only for myself…and I wrote sporadically when I felt like sharing something.  The blog was private, which kind of defeats the purpose of the blog, but what I was writing at the time I felt was no one’s business. One of the […]

Trey and Rachel just had a baby. His name is Everett and I saw a picture of him on FB today. It made me so happy and giddy for them. You might be questioning whether I’m truly happy for them, given our infertility struggle…and let me tell you why my heart is overjoyed for this […]

After three or so years to try and have a baby, we’ve decided to pursue adoption. We asked ourselves, “do we want to be parents, or just try to get pregnant.” The answer to us was clear…we want to be parents. Here’s how we came to that decision… The doors to seeking fertility treatment just […]

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.  Psalm 30 – God shows his character in an unbelievable way in Psalm 30.  He comes to the rescue…He heals you, spares you, saves you.  And his one request, that we sing praises.  Sometimes it feels like we are in the muck and mire […]

Someone posted this article on facebook and I thought how appropriate for all Christians  to hear and read. God created us to live with a single passion to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.  No matter what you’re going through…you are supposed to live with passion and joy for God.  That […]

I created this video because I love this song and would always think…I feel like I’ve loved this child to be for a thousand years.  As I started writing the words in the video…it made me realize that the love Rob and I have for each other also feels like we’ve loved each other for […]

Two and a half years ago I thought being pregnant was the only thing that mattered. I was consumed by it. It also didn’t help that I watched over 50 COUPLES get pregnant and announce it on Facebook…but who’s counting. I ask myself how come 100 people were able to become parents, but not us? […]
