Lifes events and amazements

There are days in life that are a source of amazement and wonder. I have had two such days almost exactly one year apart. One year ago my soulmate and I were in Montego Bay, Jamaica and like this year the journey to reach that beautiful place in life was winding and full of ups and downs. I am quickly learning that things in life are not always in your control, sometimes you really do need to just trust in fate and some higher plan for us all. You know those moments, we have all had them, where you are up against the world and things don't seem to be working out. Kimberly and I have had a few of these times, events conspired last year to cause us to move the date of our wedding several times, but we pushed forward with the love and desire that binds people together and is a part of our souls. We had a beautiful wedding on the beach in the Carribean and our love has continued to grow.

Today.... well today is another day of joy that had a twisted road. Today Kim chose to have surgery to have her Fallopian Tubes "Untied". A journey that is has been up and down like all other. We didn't think at one point that we would get here, but after a little over a year of looking we found several saviors, our parents whom without there help this would not have been possible, and a doctor in North Carolina, Dr. Berger. And here we are, laying in bed after Kim had surgery this morning...... joining not only her tubes but our hopes together.....

..... our hopes to have a baby ......

once again joining us closer....

More to come ..... for years .....

So this is the beginning of the next journey, to have a baby.

...... I have Faith ...... Always

As I look at what I put on the first post I failed to put another member of our family down. Though she is a small person, a little noisy, really lovable, and quiet a bit snotty she is close to us in our heart. That would be the Pug. Her name is Hope and was named by Kyanna after our first pug named Puggers died suddenly when she choked on her food. Puggers was an exteremly small runt and filled out heart with joy for the small time he was with us. Kim and I felt that we needed to immediatly fill that horrible void so we quickly started a search. It did not take long till we found "The Pug". Kyanna aptly named her and she has become the ultimate dog. I don't know how much you know about pugs but I will tell you about Hope. To begin with she is the ultimate family dog, never far from a person in the house, happy, smart ( too smart) and only once in a blue moon grouchy. She likes the back of the chairs in the livingroom as a perch, probably because they cave in around her little butt and make a nest. She fetches, growls, kisses and hugs. A lap dog that never quits. We love her tons.

I group of us at the wedding reception, aren't the girls beautiful!!!

In the beginning there was .........

Oh my where to begin...... Seeing as this is my first attempt at a blob spot, my own feeling about my writing ability seeing how it all just falls onto the screen like wet paint and I hope it is some what asthetically pleasing, I will try to remember that I am not going to be any good at this and I don't have to get everything in on the first post. Let me start with who I am and who this is for; My name is Larry Torris the husband of the most incredible wife Kimberly Torris, father to three wonderful girls, Alysia Torris, Kyanna Torris, and Alexis Hull. Second to that I am a Senior Paramedic and Field Training Officer with Metro West Ambulance a 911 provider in Oregon, stuff about that in a different link to come (at the encouragement of my mother whom had a good idea that it might be theraputic... am I that cockoo, just kidding).

I am dedicating this blog to my wife and children whom are the center of my world. I love them more that anything and I think that in time they will find this interesting and hopefully funny. It is also a place for me to communicate with the rest of my family whom has extended, in a way that has been so incredible, in all directions, locally, spiritually, emotionally, and globally. I hope you all enjoy and respond if the feeling hits you.

As for everyone else out there,
