I can't believe it! We made it to two years. September 12, 2000 was the date that marked the two year anniversary of my dear husband and I. What a two years it has been. Our darling daughter, Jade was born. I finished high school and we moved into our own home. I struggled through postpartum depression and learned what it was like to be a stay at home mom. I started college and Jade been attending daycare. Nick worked hard to care for us, and finally got a great job in Sunny California. What a change! I quit my job and finished up the school year so that we could move two thousand miles to our new home.

We've lived here a scant four months and are already planning another move. We will be leaving this tiny apartment and moving into a nice house in the city. Yeah! Jade will have her very own bedroom and a backyard to play in. How exciting- it even has some grass. A novel thing to have after having only a concrete patio for months.

I am so grateful for everything we have. My spirit is filled with joy. Though I struggle with the constant changes that occur in our lives, I know I am very blessed.

I pray that we are continued to be blessed us with good health and happiness.
