12 YEARS AGO

12 YEARS ago I took a job that I that I was not sure at the time I was ready for..I job that I thought I had prepared my self for..One that would last forever..One that was going to be beyond my widest dream the Best job ever..Being a Mom..
I remember the First time I saw  My Allison 's little face..It is unexplainable how I felt..I remember feeling like those doctors had taken my heart right out of my chest..Love at first sight!! She was perfect in every way..
And She was mine..I remember Travis and I just gazing at her in disbelief She was ours!! 
That day changed our lives forever..
Watching Allison grow older each year has been pure delight..(well most days)..She has blossomed into a wonderful young lady..
As beautiful on the inside as the outside!!
Caring, Ccompassionate, Loving, So Funny!!
There is not many days that goes by that she doesn't make us giggle and smile..
She is such a big help!!
She is so Wonderful with Bristol (and Madison when I am not watching).
I pray She lives the daysof  her life to the fullest..
I pray She always has spunk in every step..
You are a Blessing!

Allison I love you more then you will ever know!!
 I want you to know your Dad and I are so proud of who you are!!
Proud for you to call us Mom and Dad!
Happy Birthday Our Sweet girl!!

His Perfect Plan

About a week ago I was reading one blog that I read often. .it amazes me how many other family's there are that their stories are so like ours..This one  blog really encourages me evertytime I read it.. It touches my heart how this mother copes with all the unknown things with her beautiful girls! She had written

" His perfect plan"
Knowing his ways are better than mine.
Even though it doesn't take away the hurt,
It takes away the fear!

What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, Who can be against us.
 Romans 8:31 

Wow this explains so much..It expresses how I feel..
Some will be quick to tell me "Just trust God"
I was asking myself why is this making me crazy? why can't I just cope?
But after reading this It puts it into words that I just couldn't put to paper myself..
Sometimes the hurt is more than I think I can bear..
Sometimes I don't think I can face another day of Therapy or doctors..
But each day I am renewed.. When my little B wakes up and She is smiling before she evens opens her beautiful eyes..I know that He has a Perfect Plan! 
I have no fear that God is going to take care of Bristol..
I love the way my pastor prays "thank you Lord for everything you have already done for Bristol"
Everytime things seem to look gray, It turns out better than expected..
Thank You Lord for answering our prayers..

Bristol's lab results have finally come back and were read..All 3 tests were normal..This tells us that the leukodystrophy that was most likely she had tested negative..We will still watch her closely  for losing any skills she has already mastered.. and will have another  MRI next July..
We are so Thankful!
