This was a good movie. My favorite part, besides all the great singing by Reese Witherspoon, was when June Carter (Reese Witherspoon) and her family were camped out at Johnny Cash’s house watching over him as he detoxed; and when the drug dealer came by June’s dad AND mom, both had guns forcing the drug dealer away. What compassion on their parts to do that.
We thought this would be a fun way of letting you know…that I’m pregnant again. We waited and waited to tell people this time so we’d have solid information, and an actual picture to prove that the baby was deciding to stay around.
I can’t get the ultrasound picture uploaded but I’ll email it once you’ve gotten this post. I heard the heartbeat on Thursday. Alive and pounding!
I’m 12 1/2 weeks and doing well.
We’ll talk soon!

I’m very delayed in getting this up, but here we are at the Tigers game in mid September. It was the game that the Tigers beat whoever it was, 17-2. It was fun.
I am relieved!! We’ve got ourselves caught up with watching Season 1 and 2. I’m on Grey’s Anatomy overload! I can watch and watch and watch Friends dvds, but catching up on Grey’s Anatomy by watching 3-5 episodes an evening is just too much of Christina and of certain storylines that I’m glad are over now (I won’t mention them since some people are interested in catching up as well.)
I love this show, but I’m sure going to be happier watching it once a week!
Today is the due date of our 1st pregnancy/child that was not meant to be brought into this world. It’s amazing to me that the time went by so fast, but yet in many ways, so slow.
I’m not approaching this day with tears, but simply thanks to God for answering our prayers for a healthy baby. He was in control of that pregnancy and it just wasn’t meant to be.
I’ve learned a lot and tried my best (and will continue) to be a voice for others who will go through a similar miscarriage experience.
I look forward to other pregnancies to come, and continue to pray for a healthy child that will eventually be brought into this world for us to love, teach, enjoy, and love some more.
Love to you, dear one, in Heaven.
It’s a sad but also uplifting week in the news. I was very pleased to hear this morning that the newborn baby from Missouri had been found and returned to her parents, but I was also very saddened by the reality the woman kidnapper must now face.
I’m saddened because the woman kidnapper had miscarried her own child and from what I can tell didn’t have a support system to help her through the loss. Instead of being comforted and supported, she in her warped mental state turned to envy and created an awful disaster and fear for another mother and family.
I absolutely DO NOT condone what the woman kidnapper did, but I feel sorry for her that she didn’t have a better mental state and support system to keep her in a normal state of grief and loss.
I truly wish more of our research dollars and other monies would go to rehabiliation of mentality ill and abused people. I think we’d find out and learn that many of our societal issues would be much better if we would put more time and effort into dealing with these issues.
The resolution on this image is terrible, or I would have made it bigger, but this is absolutely stunning!
I love images of the changing trees and their colors. I’ve tried to paint God’s creation in the past and it just never comes across as great as He’s created it.
For me I didn’t have anyone involved in this tragedy. I knew of people that were in New York City and D.C., but none were actually in the World Trade Center or in the Pentagon.
I vividly remember that day. I was driving to work and I heard on the radio that a plane had gone into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. They didn’t know much, but thought maybe it was a little plane off course or something.
Then I got to work and we turned on the TV. I remember by the time I got to work they were announcing the 2nd plane had hit. I watched the TV at work pretty much all day.
I also vividly remember Matt Lauer on the Today Show saying, oh my gosh, it’s falling. And then the second tower fell. It was such a horrifying image.
The news was saying there could be at least 20,000 – 50,000 people in the towers if everyone had arrived for work. I remember listening to Mayor Guiliani saying those numbers and remembering how awful that would be if it were the case. And as the days went by we learned that yes many had died, but God had blessed so many with being late to work, on vacation, etc. so the number was substantially lower – around 3,000 (more were in the Pentagon and in the Pennsylvania plane).
Then the plane hit the Pentagon, then the on in Pennsylvania.
I was very nervous about it all. I called my dad and searched for comfort. I asked him, Dad does this mean we’re going to have a war here on American soil? I remember the terror that that gave my inner being. I’ve always grown up with wars all around, but they’ve never been over here, they’ve always been in other parts of the world.
I can instantly turn to tears just thinking about it that day. I will never forget that day and all that has come from it.
