On October 22, 2005 I had a miscarriage † - I don't talk about it that much, but it is always on my mind (Justin & I have a memorial tattoo - behind our ear)... It's an extremely hard thing to lose a baby (even at only 1 month) I feel everything happens for a reason, but that doesn't make the pain any easier to live with. So maybe God gave me my little girl after all, I'll just have to wait and see...until then that's someone I'd love to meet!
I wasn't put here to judge anybody - I know that - but having a miscarriage really makes me bitter toward those who have abortions. Everybody has their 'reasons' I can respect that but honestly, how does a woman, a mother, decide to terminate their pregnancy? ... That's your child, it is your GOD given right to PROTECT your children, not 'terminate' them! It just hits home I guess, it doesn't make sense and most of all it breaks my heart. I look at my kids everyday and couldn't imagine my life without them. And I will ALWAYS wonder about my baby that just "wasn't meant to be" ... do you ever think of yours?

I ♥ music so I'll listen to just about anything! I guess mostly I like R&B/hiphop or alternative music. Really it's whatever goes along with my mood at the time...
I LOVE movies! Here are some of my Favorites: Step Mom, John Q, The Lake House, The Family Stone, Catch and Release, Just Like Heaven, Hitch, Brown Sugar, Love & Basketball, Red Dragon, The Hitcher, The Last Samurai, Constantine, Prime, Just Friends, Man on Fire, The Italian Job, Batman Begins, Raising Helen, Blade (all), Coach Carter, Four Brothers, Something The Lord Made, Pay It Forward, Radio, Glory Road, The 'Bourne' saga, Good Will Hunting, Balto, Finding Nemo, The Fox and the Hound, Bambi and my all time FAVORITE, Shrek...
My must watch shows include: One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, October Road, Dirty Jobs, Rob & Big and UFC *thanks to Justin*
I have been wanting to read The Purpose Driven Life but haven't found the time to devote to it right now. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time I read an adult book! However, I really enjoy reading to my kids!
The first person to ever become a HERO in my heart was my Brother! There are no words that could come close to touching the pain I've lived with since his death - I just try to hold onto the Joy from our memories!
I ♥ and Miss you, Eddie!
Two of my most cherished heroes are...
♥ My mom - not only for being my mother and a wonderful grandmother but also for what she's been through in losing my brother. I know how hard it was for me and now having children of my own, I just couldn't imagine what she must be going through.
♥ My mother-in-law - I don't know that I'll ever meet anyone who could endured so much - yet Love so much More. I truly admire her for so many reason and I feel that in the short time we spent together she taught me so much about life. And I would love to be half the mother and *even one day* grandmother, she was.
