TOTALLY FINE. I don't mind being asked about our fam. NOT AT ALL. Curiosity is natural.
But, every once in a while, it seems a recap might do some good. π
EVERY family has a story... welcome to OURS:
Jay & I have been madly in love for not even two years. But, we've known each other for ten (another lifetime, y'all).
The story of how *WE* came to be will, someday, be a love story for the masses. I have no doubts. π₯
Austyn Elizabeth, our daughter, is FOUR. Her biological daddy (my first husband) & I were together for 6 years & we loved HARD & fought cancer HARDER.
In the end, neither our love or our fight saved him... he passed away when she was 9 months old. β€οΈ
Jay adopted Austyn officially last year, about six months after our wedding. He loved us two girls so much that he gave us his name. βΊοΈ
NO. Jay & I don't have any other children ON this planet. But I've miscarried two. One with my late husband Nick &, this past October, Jay & I lost one.
I like to believe Nick's taking care of my two babes in Heaven now while Jay & I care for Austyn here. Makes me smile every time. β¨
YES. Jay & I do SOOO want more kids.
No, we haven't given up hope. ππΌ
YES, we are trying!!
BUT, we are also MASSIVELY open to the other possibilities God may have for our family like adoption (which has been on my DESIRABLE list since I was a teen). βπΌ
We both work from HOME, running our own health & fitness online coaching company called Made for Brave Fitness. We help people reach their health goals, proactively fight future disease (#fcancer), & we mentor others on how to build their OWN online fit businesses. ππ»
Our passion level for what we do fluctuates on the daily, but on a scale of 1-10, it's normally up around... FIVE THOUSAND. π€ππΌππΌππΌ
β‘οΈ I believe that every family's story matters.
β‘οΈ I believe that those our families have lost (whether by choice, accident or design) will always be a part of us.
β‘οΈ I know that family doesn't always mean blood & I've started to fall in LOVE with the messiness of that. The REALNESS. The RAW.
Life isn't perfect & neither a
re our families. But just because it isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not BEAUTIFUL. β€οΈ
So, yeah... there you have it. π
Our story might not be traditional.
It's DEFINITELY not what people would assume if you saw us walking around at Target. π #almosterrryday
It might not be a story that a lot of people would be comfortable sharing. π€·πΌββοΈ
But, it's OURS. π
& I wouldn't trade it for the world. π
