On Friday May 29th our lives changed forever. I woke up at my mothers urging, laying on the spare bed at my mothers apartment, groggy from the wine the previous evening.  Friday evenings have become a tradition since our youngest's birth.

In the case of the duplicate strips I'm... well... I'll figure that out later.  I'm also planning on journalling on our Blogger site again with the goings on of my journey. Stay tuned Geeks!
