Congrats on all of your accomplishments. I know that you have worked hard and you have inspired many people in the process, including me. I look forward to reading about your journey thru 2011.
When I saw this quote recently (by Donald Miller), I thought of you, “Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way.”
I think I am finally going to face my fears and try to become a mom this year and your love for Maren has a lot to do with it.

p.s. i hope this doesn’t come off as strange
Jess, I don’t even know what to say. That’s probably the biggest compliment I’ve ever received.
As for becoming a mom– obviously I was terrified too, but so far, what I’ve learned is, “All you need is love.”
🙂 Let me know how it goes (the baby part, not the trying part)! 😉
Oh holy cow that middle Christmas photo is the cutest thing ever. That is not hyperbole.
