A million miles to Mia: Disappointing News
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2006/07/disappointing-news.html
Thursday, July 20, 2006. For those of you who don't know me, I suppose I should give you a brief summary of the events of the past 2 years of my life so that you'll understand this post. Don't read any further if you're squeamish. Then on top of all that, I extubated. Luckily, my doc was close by and was able to give me a shot to paralyze me, crank my jaw open off the tube, and re-intubate me in time. In spite of all that bad luck. I survived. Obviously. :). I had a home nurse who, in the beginning, came...

A million miles to Mia: The Most Amazing Baby Shower Ever
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-amazing-baby-shower-ever.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. The Most Amazing Baby Shower Ever. The attention to detail that was put into every little part of this was just over the top. That's my nursery fabric tied around the chopsticks. See what I mean? My mom made this hot pink and lime green dragon. It's so fabulously awesome. I was speechless. The hostess with the mostest. My tiny BFF, Dominique. We've been friends since the 7th grade. And yes. I towered over her then, too. LOL! We got a late start (surprising, right? My friend's daught...

A million miles to Mia: Time For Reflection
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2006/09/time-for-reflection.html
Friday, September 08, 2006. Exactly 2 years ago today, I started my life over. Everything had changed for me. My perspective had been completely altered. I came to realize what's important and what's not. On this day 2 years ago, I began to heal. It's been an ongoing process ever since. September 8, 2004 the doctors removed me from the ventilator that had breathed for my body for 12 days. It took a long time. Even though I was busy. Because WE refused to give up, I am still here. I'll never forget. I com...

A million miles to Mia: Plan B Becomes Plan A
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2006/10/plan-b-becomes-plan.html
Monday, October 09, 2006. Plan B Becomes Plan A. Recently my nephew, Tanner, asked me why I didn't just want to "have a baby in my belly". Although it may be a bit complicated, there is an answer to that question. I realized that I needed to get these reasons out of my head and onto paper somewhere because I want to share them with Mia someday. That's not the plan. I won't even be trying to get pregnant for maybe another year. I wouldn't even need Plan B for awhile yet. What WAS my purpose? When others j...

A million miles to Mia: It Was Meant To Be
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2010/10/it-was-meant-to-be.html
Thursday, October 14, 2010. It Was Meant To Be. A couple months ago, I realized I had almost 3 weeks of vacation time I had to burn up by the end of the year or I'd lose it. Seems that trip to China I was saving it for is a little further off than I'd estimated. Insert eye roll.). I decided to get away for awhile. My first thought was to spend some time at the ocean. So I googled "beach house rental" and look what popped up on the very first page of the very first site I clicked on. This PINK beach house!

A million miles to Mia: My New Perspective: Recognize The Worth
http://miles2mia.blogspot.com/2006/09/my-new-perspective-recognize-worth.html
Saturday, September 09, 2006. My New Perspective: Recognize The Worth. Commented in my last post asking if I'd elaborate on how my perspective has changed after my near-death experience. That sounds so dramatic, doesn't it? Near-death experience. but I guess that's what it was. I chatted him up about it in a private e-mail. He mentioned that this would be good blog fodder so I'll put it out there for ya. This is exactly as I wrote it to Johnny. Do you get it? 4 I try to live in the moment. And enjoy ...
