Happily ever after...

I have explained to a few people why I am doing this blog, but wanted to address this to everyone who reads this blog, which actually may be more than I had originally thought. When I first started this blog it was really going to be more of an online journal, for a way to release my emotions that sometimes can be hard to talk about with others. I decided, however, this blog will meet a few expectations:

1.  To share my feelings throughout this process
2. To keep all our family members updated on everything that is happening
3. To educate and help others. As an educator, I know I have the natural instinct to help and teach others in my blood. I am definitely one of those people who search the Internet to find everything I possibly can about FSGS, kidney dialysis, and transplants, and still feel like there is more to learn or that I am missing important information. Although some information is out there, I still feel the uneasiness that I do not know everything and out of that drive I have a desire to educate others through this journey and hopefully in some capacity be able to help others afterwards.
4. To reflect on this journey

One thing I promise to do throughout this blog is to remain positive. By remaining positive, I know in my heart Mark and I will reach that happily ever after before we know it!
