Our love was powerful enough to create the most omazing littlw girl in the world. She is our greatest accomplishment. And sense we don’t have an interesting “how we met story” I’m going to tell the story of Amethyst’s name. About a year before I became pregnant Matthew picked out the name Amethyst, and told me he thought it was a perfect name. It’s one of my favorite jems, so I was all for the name. Lynne is my middle name and my mothers. I always dreamed of passing it on and I finally got the chance. Manuela is the female version of Manuel, Matthew’s grandpa who he loves so much he wanted to honor him in a special way.
