introducing Giana Joy

Our sweet baby girl came into our lives on October 26th, 2010..
She was 8 pounds 8 oz and absolutely gorgeous. She is nine months old now and is learning to walk and talk...this crazy year has blown by...so lets catch up a bit...

Its beeeen forever

It has been so long since Ive updated this blog. We had rough year followed by some amazing blessings. The last time I updated we were living in Big Bear. It was quite the experience. I learned so much about myself. I learned that I am not a fan of snow..in fact, that is a huge understatement...the thought of it makes me nauseous. I learned  that I value my home and Arizona more than I ever thought I would. I felt like God brought us to our knees so that he could lift us up again. I am so grateful and thankful that he knows whats best for me when I don't. I learned who my true friends were...they stuck by me while I was going through some really yucky stuff. I am truly blessed. When I felt like things couldn't get any worse we found out that we were PREGNANT. I was shocked and lost. I had never felt so helpless. How could I financially take care of a baby when we couldn't support ourselves? I knew we had to go back to Arizona and try to save our home.

And we did it! God did it. I really didn't think it was possible. We hadn't made a payment for a year and after the most stressful six months of our lives, The bank finally approved our modification. The same month our beautiful new baby daughter was born. She is such a blessing. I couldn't imagine our lives without her. Life is back to normal and the lessons we learned were invaluable. Our family is happier than we have ever been. Ive started a new blog about my new braces. I'm so excited about them. I should start my nursing classes in January! Isabella graduated Kindergarten without ever having her card flipped! Im one proud mama. Sophie is growing so fast and is finally learning her colors. She is so stubborn! lol! Giana is so beautiful and smart. She is growing up so fast already. She loves her Big sisters. Jason is an amazing husband and father. He is becoming the spiritual leader of our home. Our girls adore him, and so do I.
