Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.

Thatcher's Story
I didn't want this to get lost in my list of posts, so I am creating a place so that everyone can easily access this link. Please read this touching story about baby Thatcher, our friends son who was born with a rare liver disease and is in need of a liver transplant. Jessie has worked closely with Brad for over 4 years and I became friends with her while working at WSA until I left last spring. Thatcher was born a month before Braden and this story really hits home for me. When I look at Braden I think about how incredibly lucky I am. This could just as easily be our him going through this. Jessie will most likely be the living donor for Thatcher and they are in need of our prayers! I promise you will be touched by reading this story. Thanks!
Mommy and Daddy were high school sweethearts and started dating when Daddy was 15 and Mommy was 13.

College and graduated at The University of Tennessee. Daddy earned a masters degree in Urban and Transportation Planning. Mommy earned her Bachelors in Interior Design/Architecture.
