I look back at where I have been and where I am going. My life has seriously changed in the last year and a half. I have lost and gained...lost much, gained everything. My family has grown to include sisters. Okay, sisters-in-law but they mean the world to me.

I have another child. I never knew my heart could love so much. My children carry me when life sucks. They make me realize that I am nothing without them.

Nick is truly "my gain". He has taught me that love knows no boundaries. He is the hardest working man I have ever known. He does whatever it takes to suppport his family whenever necessary. He is funny and smart...very smart and in his quiestest moments when he thinks no one is listening, you can hear him singing along to "Give me Jesus". It is during these moments that I am reassured that he is "the one"...more and more everytime.
