Clay.Chayla & Lizzie said...: Katie. I am so glad you stumbled upon my blog and posted that sweet comment. I appreciate your thoughts and want to say Thank You. You are one inspiring woman! I love your little family you guys are a beautiful family! Growning up my mom used to joke about what a "disfunctional" family we were and she would just laugh about it and say... you just find me one perfect family and I will stop laughing about all of our disfunctions!" Its a bummer, but it's true. We are all "disfunctional" (I dont even know if thats a word, but you get what I mean) I love that you are so true and honest about everything! Your trials, your triumphs, your mistakes and mishaps. I love it. I think being honest with yourself is the first and greatest step to getting to the "greater picture" I truly admire you and think you are doing a great job. Anyway, just want to say thanks again and hope we can keep our blogger friendship. ~Chayla; January 28, 2011 at 1:13 PM

Who Are We???

i suddenly realized that for those who are new to our blog or who don't personally know us, you don't know our "story". in 8/2001, my husband and i were in an auto accident which left me paralyzed from the waist down. a sad incident but an answer to a prayer and the lesson that i needed to get me back to who i really was, back to what we really wanted out of life, and to mold me into who i want to become. to add to the chaos, they also discovered that i was pregnant with our daughter. she was born at 28 wks, weighing 1 lb 12 oz. and was the miracle that we needed to glue our family together. we can't imagine things piecing together any other way.
so that's the "story" and where we're currently at in this journey of life towards the greater picture, never taking blessings for granted and by learning day by day as we go along.
when asked if i'd ever take back that awful day which changed our lives forever, i simply replied "no. i wouldn't. i've learned so much and we live a great life" and i meant it 100%!
this is the challenge that i, that our family, has been given and we're going to continually hit this head on. NEVER GIVING UP and remembering that things happen for a reason, even if we don't understand what that reason may be.
"it's all mental and it's all in your attitude"
this is a family blog. it's my venting blog. it's my rambling on blog. it's our fun blog. it's our life blog.
enjoy!
