First: I’m guest posting today at Outrageous Fortune!
I hope you enjoyed last week’s guest post by Shasta of OutrageousFortune.net, “97 Percent.” Shasta is returning the favor and allowing me to guest post over on her blog today. Following is a taste of what I’m saying over there:
Ten years ago, I was in an executive mentoring program with a large company, living in the suburbs of an up-and-coming city. My husband and I had already suffered a first-trimester miscarriage and a midterm stillbirth, but we had hope that we would, before too much longer, be blessed with the family we wanted. In 2002, our daughter was born prematurely with cerebral palsy. In 2010, our son was born with Down syndrome.
You could say that our family turned out a little differently than we expected.
Head on over to continue reading, and while you’re there, spend some time getting to know Shasta and her family.
Second: Have you entered to win a copy of Amy Julia Becker’s new book, A Good and Perfect Gift
?
If not, there’s still time! If not, what are you waiting for? Head over to my review to enter! If you’ve already entered, thank you (and by the way, I’m loving all of the reading list suggestions I’ve received so far!) The giveaway ends next Wednesday, October 5. NOTE: This giveaway has ended.
Welcome! My name is Andi.
I'm an ordinary mom with extraordinary kids, living an ordinary yet extraordinary life. Join me as I navigate the waters of life with a daughter with cerebral palsy, a son with Down syndrome, an adventurous husband, a wild Westie, a rescued Schnoodle, a camera, and a worn out pair of running shoes.
Sarah Kate was our miracle baby, born too early and way too small for comfort. She was a fighter from Day One and doesn't know the meaning of quit. Oh, and she's hilarious to boot.
The name Nathan is derived from Nathaniel, which means "gift from God" and he is just that - in more ways that one. He's joyful, devious, sneaky, and yes, his eyes really are that blue.
Mr. Andi is pretty visible in real life, so he prefers to keep a lower profile online. He is an avid reader of the blog, so I'm taking a chance that he won't notice that I've put his photo up! Mr. Andi loves anything outdoorsy - fishing, hunting, you name it.

Can’t wait to read it…. Also can’t wait to read that book! I entered the contest so I’ll try to wait to buy it. I hope that you like the book I recommended. My birthdays coming up and I’m going to be buying all of these books and taking a day to read them all to myself!
Thanks Andi!
