Miracle in the Making

Ok, here goes nothing!  I've never tried this bogging thing before but these past few days stuck in the house have left me with nothing else to do.  I'll start with my little Miracle!

His name is Tanner, I call him my Angel Baby!  As many of you are unaware, December 1997 I received a bit of news that would change the rest of my life as I knew it.  My doctor informed me that I was unable to have children.  Just turning 19, this really didn't bother me much, as I was such a social butterfly and couldn't imagine having someone else to take care of.  So....I did my thing.  I went to school and had the time of my life, so I thought!

Several years later and many roads traveled, I realized that the old saying, "you always want what you can't have," was so true.  I soon began a long and tiring career in retail.  Working in retail hardly leaves time for a family, much less a new baby!  I met great friends and continued on with my social life.  Soon these great friends began families of their own which left me an "aunt" to many new babies.

Now let's skip to February 2009.  I met a GREAT guy.  I call him Matthew, many call him Hopper.  We had alot of fun together, enjoying many nights out with friends.  A year went by and we continued our adventures not knowing that our lives would soon change!  Little did we know that our lives would go from bars to bottles in an instant.

Monday, May 10, 2010, ironically the day after Mother's Day, changed our lives forever.  We found out I was pregnant and we had a miracle in the making.   Roughly 9 months later our little monkey man arrived.  Tanner Michael Barnett was born Friday, December 31, 2010 at 9:29 am. 

So here we sit on this cold day in February.  We haven't left the house in 3 days and are going a little crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  This past month has been the best time of my life!  I look forward to sharing many memories with all of our friends and family.
