About Us

I am Amanda, most of you who will follow this blog know me, and my family in real life. I am in my mid 20's, married to a wonderful man, and have one beautiful daughter. We live in North Central Oregon, but are from Southern Oregon. Here is the our life in a nut shell(a very small nut shell)

Jeremy and I met in May of '05, and started dating in June of the same year. 
We got married June 6, 2009, in a beautiful outdoor wedding. 
We moved from the Medford Oregon area to Northern Oregon for Jeremy's job. 
We have 3 dogs, 2 horses and 2 cats. 
When we decided we wanted to have a baby, it took us almost a year to get pregnant. 
I found out I was pregnant 9/19/10.
On 11/18/10 I found out I was a Cystic Fibrosis Carrier. (DeltaF508)
On 11/29/10 we learned that Jeremy is also a Cystic Fibrosis Carrier. (DeltaF508)
I got a late onset of severe pre-eclampsia and had to be induced at 37 weeks. 
Amerie was born on May 3, 2011. 
On May 10, 2011 we learned she did NOT have Cystic Fibrosis.
On May 11, 2011 we learned she was not even a Cystic Fibrosis carrier. 
We are now busier than ever learning how to be parents to an almost one year old baby girl. 

I am a stay at home(during the day) mommy. I work 3-4 nights a week as a waitress. Jeremy is a Fisheries Biologist, and loves his job. 


As you will learn, this whole blog is basically about Amerie. Every now and again, I throw in some other snippets of life.
