Happy Birthday to Me

...Because on my 32nd birthday, God decided to give me a present: Alana Joy.


Born September 16th. 5:16 AM. Weighing in at 6lbs. 10.8 oz.

The birth story definitely is one of the sweetest thus far. Full of amazing times of worship between just the Lord and me...some surprises that made me laugh...some that made me cry...

But that story will have to wait until I find the brain power to function on a level where complete sentences come easily. At this particular moment in time, I am sleep-deprived. hormonally challenged. and prone to cry.

...My friend, Sarah, came to drop off some amazing dinner. When I came downstairs to say hey, she asked me a question. nothing sensitive. nothing personal. But I cried. Right there. On the spot.

Lovely little hormonal moment shared with an unsuspecting friend who was just trying to be sweet. *groan*

So for now, I'll just leave you with a picture of my newest love. My BLOND daughter!?!

Little Lani...
