The story of us begins on May 5th 1998. Billy and I met when we were 15 years old. He is my first love and I am his. We were inseparable from the time we met. We spent a lot of time together when we were in highschool and we knew that one day we would get married. We had so much fun together and we were truly best friends. We dated for 6 years before we got engaged in October 2004. We were married the following November.
Our first year of marriage was challenging but we made it through and came out of it even stronger and more commited to each other than ever before. We have been through some really difficult times together but each experience has made us so strong. In 2007 we were thrilled to find out we were expecting our first child. I was on top of the world and so was Billy. We couldnt be happier. We went to my first doctors appointment and saw the babys heart beating and realized how blessed we were and what a true miracle we were blessed with. I will make another post soon about our little Isaac but for now I will just say the day he was born was the best day and the worst day of our lives.
In August of 2008 we were blessed with our second child, Carson Ryan. After grieving for so long for our first child and being so heartbroken we were so happy to welcome Carson. He became our whole world and brightened our lives in so many ways. We loved being parents and adored our son. I have an entire blog dedicated to Carson and his challenges so I wont go into all of that here but I'm sure anyone reading this already knows that Carson is autistic. He is such a blessing and seeing the world from his eyes is so amazing.
In November 2010 we were blessed again with our third child, Madison Grace. Finally we were given a daughter :) Madison is the happiest little girl and she has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. God knew that we needed her and he sent her at the perfect time. We had been reallly struggling with Carson's challenges and although we were so fullfilled by Carson we still needed that ray of sunshine in our lives which came in the form of our daughter. Madison is always happy and smiling and it lifts us up and makes us stronger for Carson. She is so amazing!
Carson just turned 3 and Madison is almost 10 months old. Being their parents is the best gift. Our family is complete with our son and our daughter and even with Carson's autism I couldnt be happier and wouldnt change one thing. All of the challenges we have faced have got us to where we are today and I honestly couldnt ask for anything more.
