The Choice

Hello and welcome to my shiny new blog! 

I am Mama Crazy, but you may call me M.C. I am married to an incredible man named Señor Guapo, or S.G.

Together we have a little man we call Happy Monkey, or H.M.

He wasn't always so happy and healthy, though. He was born almost 4 months early at only 1 lb 15 oz. He spent the first 105 days of his life in a neonatal intensive care, before we were able to bring him home. 

That experience dramatically changed my life. 

It was an incredibly difficult thing to go through. Thanks to my steadfast husband, a solid support system of family, and, above all else, a kind and loving Heavenly Father, I made it.

But, there was a very dark point where were not at all certain that we would be able to take H.M. home with us in this life. In that moment, I had a choice. I could choose unflinching faith and optimism, or I could choose to just stop living. It was a harder choice than it should have been.

That's where the title of this blog comes in. 

I chose joy.

I chose peace.

I chose hope.

I chose faith.

I chose laughter.

These are things I get to choose again daily,as we adjust to this new "normal". 

You have the same choice to make for yourself. 

I invite you to walk this road with me.

Love,
M.C.
