Josalyn. What can I say about this beautiful, strong, smart and loving girl?! I could devote an entire blog to just her and our special story. Josalyn is Nick's daughter. She was born when Nick was 21 years old. I met Josalyn when she was less than 2 months old. If I close my eyes, I can picture myself in the exact location and exactly what she looked like. Most of you (if you didn't know me) would be thinking, why the heck would you (20 years old at the time) be crazy enough to stay in a relationship with your boyfriend when he had a newborn?!

God had plans. There's no other way to describe the decisions I made at the time. God knew I needed Josalyn (and her other family) in my life just as much as Josalyn needed me in her life.

I am amazed at the beautiful young lady she is growing up to be. She is a true testament of hard work and determination.

I have enjoyed sharing my passion of exercise with Josalyn. We started running together when she was in 4th grade. This year, she started Crossfit. She's amazing. I wouldn't trade that time spent with her for anything. Some of the best conversations come out of the time spent between just the two of us.

God knew what he was doing when he gave me this crazy life and I'm enjoying the ride!
