Jeff and Kallie

I've heard people say that having babies increases your capacity to love. I feel like if my capacity to love were a cup, that cup has not grown at all, but it can't hold all the deep, tender and loving feelings that I have had over the last five days. I never knew I could feel this way. I have a hard time even looking at this picture without ovewhelming feelings of love taking over my whole soul and making me cry the happiest, lovingest tears I've ever cried.


I've loved Jeff almost since the first time we spent time together. Years before I met him, my dad gave me a blessing and told me that when I met the person I was to marry I would know it in my heart of hearts. And I did. I will never forget the way I felt on our first date. He took me dancing and I knew. I felt like I found something I didn't know I'd lost. I felt so safe and happy with him. And those feelings have only grown since then. He is such a good man, and I don't know what I did to deserve him. There is no one I would rather take this journey with. I love him so much.

I guess the feelings I felt when I met Jeff are the same ones I feel now that Jackson has joined us - I found another part of me I didn't know was missing. He came on Saturday afternoon at 1pm. What a sweet baby he is. We love him so much and are so glad that he is here. He has brought us so much JOY. What a delight it is to get to snuggle him every day.
