In a matter of hours my precious little girl will be turning one. It has been truly amazing watching her grow over the last year. When I look at her smiling face it’s hard to imagine that this tiny, wonderful person wasn’t supposed to be here with us! It’s astonishing to think that we were strongly advised to consider termination because we supposedly only had a very small chance of her even making it through the pregnancy! Being stubborn like her Mommy, she proved all those doctors wrong–because she IS here, extremely happy and healthy! I truly consider her my little miracle!

I’m so grateful to all those who stood by us (Family, Friends, & our Military community) through such a difficult time–and happy we have such amazing friends that are like family to Miss Em here in Hawaii. I’m so looking forward to celebrating her special day with everyone tomorrow!

Also a quick thank you to those who have been voting for Emree  (#239414) in the photo contest! Your votes really have made a difference and I appreciate your support! <3
