About Me

I (Shanda) work @ USA Children's & Womens Hospital as a Neonatal Intensive Care nurse part time. And Tony works for Advance Mortgage & Investment Co. as a Mortgage Broker.We have been happily married for 7 years. We have a 5 year old son Myles who we absolutely adore. Our 2nd son Micah was born in June 2007; He is our angel in heaven! He left us in September of the same year because of a heart defect, Hypo-plastic Left Heart Syndrome. We love and miss him everyday! His heart and smile changed our lives forever! We are people of great faith, and have been on a journey with God for sometime now, but the journey has really began to change us in more ways than we bargained for. As circumstances in our lives unfolded, God began to challenge our faith and ask us some hard questions. AS a result we believe our faith in God has never been stronger and more real in our lives. Through everything we have faced as a family, there is one theme that plays in our hearts and minds over and over again; Even in our moments of weakest faith, fear, and uncertainty, GOD NEVER LET US GO!!! He held on to us, even when we couldn't hang on anymore ourselves, and HE has carried us through so much! Jesus is so amazing! We are excited about what God has done, and is going to do in our lives. We can only give Him ALL of the Glory.
