“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

My Valentine


"I have now been married "five" years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blessed - blessed beyond what language can express; because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am; ever more absolutely bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my "Shayne's" society; he knows none of mine, any more than we each do of the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together. To be together is for us to be at once as free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long; to talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him; all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character; perfect concord is the result."

So I'm reading your post and I'm thinking to myself, umm Pepper writes an awful lot like the Bronte's. Then I continued and thought I think Jane Eyre said this. Honestly I was so pleased that I recognized this before I saw your citation. That is my fav book. Anyway, 11 points for vocab Pep. It was a perfect choice for you and Shayne

Hi Pepper,
I just found your website by accident! I was looking up information on Dr. Anderson, and found your link off of a blog with pictures of him when he was running for the senate. Anyway, I talked with Lindsey last night about her experience with Dr. Anderson (and she mentioned your name and that you had worked with him and had a successful IVF). It was so great to read about your experiences and about having your little boy, that's awesome! My husband and I have beeen trying for kids for a couple of years now, and are at the point where IVF is the next step. Anyway, if you have any advice, I'd love to hear it! Best of luck to you! My email is: tonyers@gmail.com. Thanks!
