A Place you've traveled to....
I really haven't been to too many places. I would love to go on a mission trip, first and foremost. And, I would love to go somewhere tropical, to escape this cold climate.
I have been out west three times. I have visited California twice. I have been to Las Vegas twice. I have visited the Hoover Dam twice as well. Florida, DC, Chicago, Texas, Tennessee...and only out of country to Canada.
But the one place that I think everyone needs to visit at least once in their lives is the Grand Canyon. There are no words!!!! God created a masterpiece. You literally just stand there in awe!

Day 7
Day 7---Favorite Movies
I am only going to put one...because this movie I absolutely LOVE!!! The first time I watched it, I was going to Bible School and me and my roommates took out a few hours of a few days, and watched it. I fell in love :) BUT...I only like the A & E Version.

Day 5 of 30 day
I've been a little behind on doing this challenge...eeekk...already?!
Day 5: Your Siblings
I am the "middle" child and grew up the only girl. I have an older brother, 3ish years olders named Jesse and a younger brother, 5ish years younger named Nathan.
Jesse is married to Marideth and has a son named Samuel. Jesse and Marideth have law degrees and work at a company doing legal research.
Nathan is married to Emileigh and has a daughter named Nataleigh and a baby boy due any day now! Nate is a nurse in a step-down unit at his local hospital. His wife Emileigh is an X-Ray Tech (mostly on call now).
I love my brothers and consider them best friends now. It wasn't always this way, they have been known to gang-up on me, tease me, and do the normal brotherly things. We still will have our minor disagreements, but there is that family bond that can not be broken! I also love their wives too!
And, I now have a "sister". Anne has been apart of our family since about 2003. She was put in the foster system in high school, where my brother Nathan became a friend to her. She stayed with my parents for the summer after her senior year, because her foster family moved out of town. She then went to school at MSU, and I tried to look after her while she was away (I lived in the same town as MSU). We have become good friends over these past years too. She is married to Chris and has a son named Graydon. Anne works for an insurance company and Chris works at the local hospital, while he finishes up his Master's degree in Social Work.
Last, but not least, I have to talk about my husband's siblings, because they are now mine too :) I love them as well!
Patrick's sister Chrissy is about 5 1/2 years older than him. She is married to Aron and has 3 children, Ethan, Noah and Jade. Chrissy is a super hard worker! She works from home full-time and Aron is an engineer full-time, and farms. They are very kind and giving people.
Patrick also has an older brother named Mike. He is engaged to Amanda. Mike works for my Uncle Bob's energy company. Amanda is going to school for special education and works 2 jobs I believe! We are so excited for the 2 of them!
I forgot to talk about my in-laws on yesterday's post. I will do a special add-on one for them later!!

Day 4 of 30 day
Day 4: Your Parents
I love my parents! I live in the same town as they do, and work for their business, so I see them almost everyday.
A little about my Dad: He is the oldest of 3 boys, raised mostly by a single mother. He is the hardest working man I have ever met! He rarely misses a day of work. I can remember growing up and him making sure we were hard workers too (either doing yard work, or just finding a job of our own.) He is a strong Christian and a good example of that (I can also remember him getting up very early to read his bible.) He is now my "boss" at work :)! The more I've gotten to know him since being an adult and on my own, the more I can see how similar and alike we are in different areas of our lives.
A little about my Mom: She is the oldest of 6, born in Germany and moved every 1-2 years growing up because my grandpa (her dad) was in the Air Force. She too is a very hard worker. She rarely sits to relax! She is either "waiting" on whoever is around (getting food for them, cleaning-up), exercising, socializing with friends, working at our business, babysitting a grandchild, or doing a bible study. She likes to plan out family trips and events. She truly loves family! I consider her one of my best friends!
Here is their wedding picture from March 10, 1973. They were only 18!! They will be celebrating 38 years of marriage next week!!! WOW!!!

Day 2 of 30 day challenge
Day 2: Meaning behind blog name
I recently switched the name of our blog. It was Life After Loss. Pretty much our life after having a miscarriage, and then of course a stillborn. Since having Amelia, I felt like I wanted to look ahead and focus more on our family now. To be honest, I couldn't come up with anything "cool". So, Kelly Kids just popped in my head and I changed it! I might change it again because I don't really love the name. But for now Kelly Kids represents our life with one "kid" here on earth with us, and one "kid" waiting for us in heaven...well I guess 3 "kids" really! And, I'd like to think of Patrick and I as "kids" too :) Any suggestions on a more clever name??

Day 1 of 30 day
Day 1...Introduce, recent picture, and 15 interesting facts
Hello to my 4 faithful readers :) You already know me...Megan, wife and mommy!
Here is the most recent pic of me. Taken in Grand Rapids at Anne's house. I am holding Amelia and my mom is holding Graydon.
1. I help with our family business and sell headstones and urns.
2. I worked at Cedar Point for 2 summers on the Corkscrew.
3. When I was 3, my mom had me on the back of her bike in a baby seat, and a boy shot me in the head with a pellet gun from his bedroom window.
4. I've been married now for over 4 years!
5. I loved our wedding...my husband even wrote, sang and played a song for me on the piano during the ceremony.
6. I can play the piano.
7. I like to sing, but don't like to in front of others.
8. I talk to my husband several times throughout the day on gmail's chat.
9. Most of my extended family lives right in our area. I still have my grandmothers here and even one granpda! I love them all :)
10. I still get together with childhood friends. My dear friend Jolene and I have been friends for 25 years...whoa, I'm getting old :/
11. I'm looking out the window right now at the huge pig from the movie "Whip It."
12. After some rough college years and going through some struggles...I became a Christian in 2002. Can't believe it's almost been 10 years! Most important decision of my life--by far.
13. I have had 3 pregnancies. My first was a twin pregnancy, that ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks. We were heartbroken. My second pregnancy, ended in a stillbirth of a beautiful baby boy that we named Liam. July 23, 2009...the hardest day of my life. The weeks leading up to July 23, were such painful weeks too. Many appointments that left us in tears. That entire journey has affected me in soooo many ways. (More on that in a later 30 day post) And, my third pregnancy, ended on Sept. 21, 2010, with our beautiful daughter Amelia Rose. She is my joy!!!! I simply can not put into words my love for her.
14. I would love 2 or 3 more kids. But...not sure if that's the Lord's plan for us. Each pregnancy is kinda high risk for us now.
15. I hate winter and being cold! The end :)
