Giving Thanks

Today, I was honored to be invited to Saint Joan of Arc Church for "Special Persons Day" by Mercedes Bickel. Today's mass was focused on giving thanks for the special people in our lives.

As Kallyn's birth nears, I am so thankful to be on this wonderful journey with Abby and to be surrounded by such loving friends and family.

Thank you Mercedes and Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Yes We Can!

A day where Americans stood in long lines to vote...A day where Americans had election parties as if it were the Superbowl.

I can't wait to tell Kallyn where we were when President Barack Obama was elected. How her moms played a small part in history. I can't wait to tell her how proud we were to be Americans. How it gave us a glimmer of HOPE that she would be born into a better world because Americans believed in each other again. How we were inspired to make a difference and we could be the voice of change. I will tell her about how her mother and I held each other, celebrated with our friends and cried...
