I’m not a real “outdoorsy” kinda gal, but I do love things like camping, picnics, etc. Living in El Paso, we can be outside nearly year round. As our weather cools off, it means we spend even more time outdoors without the fear of bursting into flames from 100+ degree heat. Sam and I have…

Oh, hai New York City in 2 weeks
ContinuePeople. I am going to BlogHer. In New York. This year. All of the sudden.
{About Me}
Sam and I have been married since I was 19. He was 20. He's an OIF, medically retired veteran of the Army and Marines. We have 5 children - Bella was born in 2009 after a rather bumpy pregnancy and her first year was mostly crazy reflux. Preston and Julian, my identical twins, were born at 20 weeks in 2012 and lived only a few hours. Kaden was born full term in 2013 seemingly perfect, and at 4 days old he was found to have cardiomyopathy due to ciHHV-6. He passed away at 3 weeks old. Charlotte was born in 2015, and was a complete surprise to us. Each of them have changed our lives completely.
Currently I'm in school to become a counselor who focuses on trauma and grief.
I love Jesus - even though sometimes I get really angry and upset at the way our life has gone. I hope through my faults, insecurities, snarkiness, selfish nature, and general mess - my love for Christ and His work in my life shines through in my story.
