http://stuartandann.blogspot.com/- I personally do not know Ann, but I went to school with Stuart and his brother. I began reading her blog through Lindsay, when I discovered the connection. I decided to nominate Ann for the award because she is probably going through one of the hardest times in her life! She currently expecting their first child and Stuart has just been deployed. I can't imagine her life at this moment. She and Stuart need many prayers and any encouragement they can get!

Jana's blog is in regards to her beautiful children and her baby girl Rylan, who will be here in October. After having two children, Jana and her husband got pregnant with their third! However, God had bigger plans for Baby Carsyn! She was delivered still born and will forever be apart of their lives. Jana is an amazing woman of God, and finds her strength in Him daily! Rylan is a blessing to them, and it looks as though she is growing just the way God intended.
