Thatcher's Story

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!

And lastly, Happy Birthday to my friend Courtney on Sunday! Courtney is my fellow UT classmate and college roommate. Court now lives in the Big Apple so therefore, I dont get to see her near enough!

Brett is talking about making a trip, we will see... Happy Birthday!!!

Loving the comment on Pete! He laughed about the little guy thing and said that he will have to pay you back on here! That is if he can figure out how to do anything on it.
