My name is Amanda and my husband, Matthew, and I are embarking on a journey to try and grow our family. We live in the Phoenix Metro Area of Arizona and have been trying to conceive since 2013 without any luck. This blog is for me to document our journey and relieve some of my stress regarding not being able to conceive naturally and to document our journey through pregnancy and family life.

We are firm Christian believers who are trusting in God’s plan for our lives and our family.

We have 2 fur-babies, an Australian Cattle Dog/Akita mix named Raiden and an Australian Cattle Dog/who knows what mix named Shenzi. Raiden is way too smart for his own good, and Shenzi is, well, cute. They cuddle and play together and (thankfully) both like kids.
