Forever in a Day

For so many reasons, December 29th was a forever day...

Most of all, our lives changed forever when little Huxley entered our lives. From now on we will no longer be the two of us - we are the family. Every priority and goal we have has now shifted to making Huxley's life the best it can be. He is the symbol of our unity and love and the most incredible fruit of our union as man and wife.

Though it has only been a few days, it seems like forever ago when he was not a part of our lives. pregnancy did nearly nothing to prepare us for the feelings we now have. Everything changed the moment he arrived. Our former life was so different that it feels like it was a hundred years ago.

The wonder and mystery of labor also makes the 29th a forever day. Nothing about the process of birth felt natural. Birth was a painful, fearful experience that makes one question everything in life. No matter how long we live, we will forever remember how profound the experience of that day was. Experiencing the trials of birth shows one that the only thing that matters in life are the bonds we have to others - because they are the ones that see us through tough times. Christa and I needed each other; and in being there we learned how to care for Huxley - forever...

Our Story, an Introduction...

Over eight years ago, Jason was idly passing the time at Staples - stocking shelves, selling computers to new college arrivals, and basically waiting for life to begin. Then, out of no where a timid, beautiful, and intriguing blonde cashier appeared at the service desk.

With nothing much else to do, the two became fast friends. They filled the long hours and slow business with discussions about everything and anything. A deep friendship was born. Long talk after long talk helped reveal each to the other until they had become best of friends.

Then, life - as it does from time to time - began to catch up to Jason and draw him away from the comfortable confines of the office superstore. By then, though, the friendship had blossomed into love and it would not be denied for long.

The road to a life together was wrought with obstacles, but nothing that could not be overcome. Through tenacity, determination, and self revelation, Jason and Christa are now together forever for whatever life brings their way...
