Marriage Proposal...
September 2003. Kevin had called me at work and asked if I would check his P.O. Box, because he was expecting important paperwork. As I opened the mailbox I noticed a small wooden box. I pulled it there was a note that read, "I love you, and wouldn't change a thing except...". I was so confused. When I opened the box there was a pink note that read "Your last name!". Ok I thought and I left the post office. Much to my surprise Kevin was standing outside with a ring and proposed. Of course I said YES!

Wedding...
April 3, 2004. We had an outside wedding in my mother's backyard, in her gazebo. Family only and our ceremony, and close friends at the reception. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't do anything different. It was the most perfect day.

Honeymoon...
We took a 7-day cruise to the Western Caribbean. We went to Puerto Rico, St. Martin, St. Thomas, and St. John.

May 2004 - Present...
Two weeks after returning from our honeymoon I received the best Mother's day gift any girl could receive - we were pregnant! I had always been told I couldn't naturally conceive children so we knew God had His hands on us from the start. At 6 wks. I found out it was not a viable pregnancy and had a D&C. We were crushed, but decided we would try again. August 2004, we were pregnant again! At 8 1/2 wks we found out we were having twins. We thought, "Praise God"! My doctor had a hard time seeing heartbeats, so she sent me over to the hospital for a better ultrasound. It was there we found out that the twins had passed 5 days earlier. I couldn't bear the thought of naturally miscarrying so I had another D&C. I thought I was going to loose it. March 2005, we found our selves pregnant again and facing another miscarriage. I couldn't understand why God could put someone through the pain of loosing 4 children when I all I ever wanted was to be mother. Little did I know God had much bigger plans for us. It took me a long time to hear what God had been trying to tell me since the first miscarriage. Adoption. Kevin and I went to an international adoption seminar in October 2005 and began all the paperwork, which has now led us to our son, Caleb and daughter, Mia.
