{6 months}

Six months ago today I went through labor, pushed for an hour, then delivered Elaine Raquel Dyer. As my dad has said, that this life is really the "plan of feeling," where we get to experience the bitter and the sweet and all the emotions that mortal life brings. Since that day, we have felt so much peace.

It's been said that when God wants to make a change in this world He sends a baby. Six months ago today He wanted to change me and Travis in deep, permanent ways, so He sent us a baby who we will always miss, but always love!
