August 6th 2006 was the day that my beautiful baby girl came into this world. When my wife and I found out she was pregnant it was on December 23rd (the best Christmas gift ever) I was flooded with emotions. We were at our pastor's house sledding and Misty told him to be careful because she "had a bun in the oven." Little did we know that it was true. After sledding we were all in the living room and Pastor Micah told me to go get a pregnancy test. I didn't want to because we had been disappointed 3 times before and I didn't want that to happen again. But none the less I went to the Family Dollar store and purchased a pregnancy test for $7.99. Luke and I then headed back to Pastor Micah's house to await the news. We were in the living room watching Sports center and Angel (Pastor Micah's wife) and Tiffany (Luke's wife) advised us that three minutes were up.
Misty told them that she wasn't going to look because she didn't want to be disappointed. Tiff and Angel walk to the bathroom and the next thing we hear was "CONGRATULATIONS!!" My first response was yeah right and Misty's was pretty much the same. They told us that they were serious and showed us the test. Misty was laughing and I started crying.
At that moment there were so many thoughts that went through my head. Will I be a good dad? Am I ready to be a dad? (At that point it was too late :-D) Needless to say that three months into being a father I am the happiest I have ever been and I thank God everyday for my baby girl Paige (Servant Of God) McKenna (Sent By Jehovah) and she makes coming home from work worthwhile.

WooHoo!! I get to be the first to comment on the new blog. Ah, it's the little thrills in life ;-) Adam, you are such a sap!! Kidding!! It has been so fun to watch you mature and become a man over the past 10-11 years. When I met you back in 1996, you were a 15yr old spastic, hyper teenager who couldn't even drive and now look at you. Devoted to your family and to being the best husband and father you can. Keep up the good work. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs you'll ever be called upon to do, yet the most rewarding.
