I’m the mom to Natalie. 

Natalie had a liver transplant in 2005, receiving a portion of my liver.

She was born with Biliary Atresia.  

Before Natalie was born I struggled with infertility for 2 and a half long years,

only to have my pregnancy with Natalie end in preeclampsia 5 weeks early. 

I loved being pregnant, but my doctor has advised against it again.

I’m married to a man who is my very best friend.
We have been together for almost 20 years, married for 11.
We met in confirmation class at church and I adore him.

I am a banking nerd, a bookworm, a fledgling website designer, and budding photographer.
I am a Conservative, patriotic, religious education teaching Catholic,

a four-wheeling riding, country music lovin’ mama.

I’d call myself a runner, but that would require consistency.
I am stronger that I give myself credit for.
I have a German Shepherd, her name is Gretchen.
I am blessed.

I gave my daughter the gift of life twice.

This is our story…
