Annslie Rain

Tonight my first born child, Annslie Rain Galliher, graduates from middle school.  She will be out for Summer vacation in a few short days, and, in a matter of months, she will officially be a "high schooler". How does something that actually takes years seem to happen over night?

If you know me, you know that I had Annslie very young.  I was 18 years old, and, for a while, life was just me and her.  She and I have a special bond that I would not trade for anything in the world. Annslie is sweet and goofy.  She loves music and singing.  She is the prankster in the family, and she loves to laugh.  Annslie is smart and trustworthy, a good friend, and an awesome sister.  She wants to be a teacher for children with special needs...the list goes on and on.  I am most proud of the young lady she is becoming.  I thank God everyday for choosing me to be her mom, and I can honestly say that much of who I am today is because of the sweet baby that came into my life on a rainy August day in 1999.  She has my heart forever.

Congratulations to my Annslie, my step-daughter, Allena, and their whole class on their graduation from the 8th grade tonight!  I hope they make memories that last a lifetime in the coming years, and I can't wait to watch them grow and change every step of the way. We have years of smiles, laughs, and tears ahead of us. Bring it on!

Daughters & Happy Chances

Happy Chance Apparel is the newest love in my life. 

I have two daughters, Annslie-13 and Madilyn-8, and I have two step daughters, Allena-13 and Allison-9. (Then there is my 3 year old, one-of-a-kind, red headed son, Wyatt...but we'll talk about him later)  When I decided I wanted to start a small clothing line, I knew my daughters would be my inspiration. So, with them in mind, Happy Chance Apparel was born. Happy Chance is all about life's moments...those summer night moments, and bonfire moments, and Friday night football moments, and first kiss moments, and slumber party moments. I believe that life is made up of all these unforgettable happenings that are completely and totally meant to be...some are amazing and wonderful, and some are difficult and heartbreaking. These moments are what I like to call happy chances. These moments are what I can't wait for my daughters to experience. I hope they soak it all in and have the fondest memories of being young and carefree. Happy Chance Apparel is designed with the notion that we can and should live life to it's fullest. We capture life's moments in our clothing. Be Happy!

Madilyn, Allena, Annslie, & Allison
