Journeys and Dreams started as a creative outlet for me but has turned into so much more for my family. The name alone represents so much of our story.

My husband and I were complete strangers when we met, but quickly fell in love and were married in just eight months. We knew we didn’t want to wait too long before having kids. After a year of trying and still no baby, we knew something must be wrong. Many doctor visits, years of tests, working with a reproductive endocrinologist (who we didn’t see eye to eye with), still no answers and an empty nursery, and lost hope led us to search for other options to having the family we knew we were ready for.

We’ve been through some frustrating, wearisome, interesting, and exciting experiences on our journey to become parents. We held on through the feelings of eagerness, moments of heartbreak, prayers, hope, hesitation, uncomfortable doctor procedures, prayers, too many two week waits to count, failed fertility treatments, prayers, awkward home studies, a failed adoption, prayers, uncertain court hearings, (and did I mention prayers), all of which has led us to the greatest adventure we’ve had to date: the adoption of our little boy! We began fostering him when he was just a few days old and we were incredibly blessed to make him a permanent part of our family.

Graphic design has always been in interest of mine and something I dabbled in for fun, even as a young girl using standard software like Paint and PowerPoint. What started as a hobby has grown and developed into a creative outlet, and has now become a way for me to stay home with our son and any more children God brings into our home, whether it be through foster care, adoption or childbirth.
We hope that Journeys and Dreams designs might inspire you through whatever journey of life you may be going through and help you to document memories each step of the way.
