"Life's a rollercoaster and I'm not strapped in!"

2/21/2011

My name is Janna and I have decided to start a blog because there are so many moments in life that you just want to keep for ever and by sharing these moments we can always look back and remember what we have been through. A little background for me; I started dating Kevin in February of 2007 and in November that same year we got engaged and later married on May 9, 2009. He is an amazing husband and my best friend, I love the relationship that we have with one another, its open and honest, fun and we have a lot of trust and respect for one another. The day Kevin and I found out that we were pregnant changed our world forever and on October 15, 2009 we were blessed with our first son, Tanner James. He was such a happy little baby, very alert all the time and has the biggest smile I have ever seen! I never realized how fast and how much you could LOVE a little person! Having Tanner made us open our eyes to what is really important in life. Of course babies grow up so fast and on his first birthday it was hard to hold back some tears because you realize how time flies and they just don't stay little long enough. When Tanner was 18 months old we became pregnant with our 2nd son, Charlie Brice. We were very excited to be expanding our family and when we found out it was another boy we were thrilled that Tanner would have a little brother. On December 23, 2011 Charlie was born. He is a very calm and laid back baby, he looks so much like Tanner when he was born. Charlie, too, is a very happy baby and loves to smile!
So much has happened in between when we first started dating and to where we are today. I am blessed to be on the journy that we are on but sometimes at times it feels like a rollercoaster ride. My next few blogs will mostly be about Tanner...I want to share his story with everyone because I think that it is important for people to know what is going on with him and it is important to be his voice and be an advocate for him! I want to bring awarness to people that in life we all have many differences and to let our own prejudiceness get in our way we are truly not seeing who people are or even who we really are. I hope that I can shed light on many topics to help other people and be a support for anybody if they need it. "Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness." -Ola Joseph
