Tonight is Justin's last night at our home as a "bachelor". Tomorrow he's off to Toledo to bring his beautiful wife to Texas, and in a couple weeks he'll be all moved out.
These past several months have been a wonderful time. I met Justin about the same time I met Ry, the summer of 1998. Justin even dated my good friend Lorena for a bit. I didn't get to know him very well then, and over the last 9 years I spent time with him just when we went to Toledo or they came here.
Over these last several months, I have gotten to really know this great man. From late night talks about spirituality, to protecting the house from those crazy people who like to play their music behind our house, to the extensive kitchen remodel I feel I've really gotten to know Justin, and in a way learn more about Ryan. Justin and Ryan met in middle school, and only lived in the same town for 4 years, until Ry moved to Texas. Yet, even with the distance, they have been best friends since.
So Justin, thank you for living with us! I will never forget this time! I think one of the best parts is having another person to cook for! We have our family here in Austin!!
As Ty Pennington says in Extreme Home Makeover, and now we say to you - "welcome home Williams family, welcome home!"

another beautiful soul...
It's with sadness that I write this...
About 3 weeks ago we found out that we were expecting our 3rd child. Last weekend I started having some complications and on Tuesday of last week we found out that our little one has returned back to our Lord.
Even though she was with us just a few weeks, she is greatly missed. I miscarried her at around 6 weeks.
I had strong feelings that it was a girl (as did my friend Robin), and we've named her Lucy Grace. Lucy, after St. Lucy, an early martyr and woman strong in her faith. Lucy also means light, and she brought light to our lives, knowing that we could get pregnant again after the miscarriage in January. Grace, for the grace we received in having her in our life. Now she is reunited with our Lord, and with her brother and sister in heaven.
Please keep us in your prayers. This week has been difficult for us. We also begin the hard road of further testing, both of me and of Ry. May the Lord provide us with guidance during this time.

4 New x 2 Meme
A friend from college (http://www.blairandsteven.blogspot.com/) did this meme on her blog. Looks interesting, so I thought I would try...
4 new things of the past 4 years
1 - 2 wonderful babies in heaven! We love you and we miss you Philip Gabriel and Mary Isabelle!!
2 - We have purchased our first home! yea! And put in lots of elbow grease in it these past few years!
3 -I've become a FertilityCare practioner. I love teaching, and working with couples to understand their fertility. Now just waiting for a baby to be named Alexis...
4 - Travelled to the southern hemisphere! Our great trip last year to Australia and New Zealand!! And a passport with my married name. Ry and I have also been able to travel to many other new places in the past 4 years!
4 desires for the next 4 years
1 - That we would be able to welcome our arms to our own baby (or babies). May God entrust us to a few little ones!!
2 - no more mortgage! We have been saving for awhile, and hopefully in the next 4 years we won't have to worry about that expense.
3 - for good health! that we can understand the cause for our fertility problems and be able to maintain a healthier weight!
4 - more travel! from going to visit our goddaughter (in New Zealand), maybe Europe, and hopefully more of the US.
