It's MY Anniversary

The celebration has begun early out here in NOVA!

On Wednesday, December 19 we'll mark the Fifth year of two of my most treasured gifts:  a new chance of life for me and the beginning of life for Chi.

It's odd that the two are centered around the same time, but those who know the tremendous 2-week saga that was my hospitalized near-death experience know that 7 transfusions, hundreds of prayers, and a whole lot of faith later Rachelle is still here.

And what better way to be welcomed "back" than with a beautiful, perfect, and oh so fabulous little girl?  I have treasured every moment she's been in my life and am looking forward to so many more.  Every minute is a new memory (though I seem to forget each one moments later unless I scrap about it, then I only have to remember good things).  Every day brings at least one more adventure.  And every second I am so very thankful HE gave me this opportunity to have my LauraChioma.
