My journey began in 1973

1973 was the year that I was born. In Chicago, Illinois is where I grew up and lived until I was 28. In 1991, I met a man I thought I loved at the time. Then, I got pregnant. Oops…I was way too young, but I would never go back and change a thing. My daughter, Savann was born in July 1992 and is now 14 years old. Her father passed away when she was only 4 years old. She has some memories, but not too many.

Then, I met Garry. A guy with long hair and wearing a lab coat. We both worked at Lenscrafters. He made the glasses and I worked in the Doctor’s area. I really didn’t think he was attractive at first. After having smoke breaks together, he grew on me…
After our first 4 hour phone call and our first kiss, I knew he was the man I was going to marry.

I soon got pregnant with our son. He was born in April of 1998. He, of course, was named after his dad. He is now 8 years old.

We are married! In September of 1999 we married.

We moved to Tennessee in 2002. My FIL had lung cancer and I cannot refuse my husband the chance to be with him, so we sold our condo, packed up and moved.

I got pregnant again. In October 2002, I was almost 7 weeks along when I miscarried. It broke my heart and was so sad for a long time. I wanted another baby so bad.

Got pregnant in July 2005….I was so happy. Finally, 3 years after the miscarriage. We are having a baby.

Due date was April 16, 2006.

December 2, 2005 – It’s a girl!!!!

April 11th – Jaymie was born!!!

Well, she is now 7 months old and again want another baby. Just one more and that would be it. She is growing so fast…Why does that have to happen? My baby is not so much a new baby anymore….But, I do love that she is becoming her own person. Babbling, cooing, crawling…..I love her so much!
