So here are the words and pictures to my story so far. Sunday, February 27, 2011. I've never held a baby. I'm not sure I've even held a toddler? Unless manhandling my little sister counts when we were fighting every day? I'm always amazed at people...

View my complete profile. Saturday, September 1, 2012. Endometriosis is a Dirty B-Word! My husband and I work hard not to curse around Ian. But sometimes a curse word is warranted, so we say something like “B-word” or “S-word” or “F-word.”. We can always tell from the context what was meant. I should back up a little.

The meaning is usually said to be "resurrection", but there is more to it than that. Anastasia comes from the Greek word anastasis,. Which also means "a raising up" and "a recovery from a debilitating condition". There is no doubt that she has raised our family up to a better place. This time, the biggest difference is that I'm coming at it from a...
