Charlie rises as our Angel! Prayers to Heaven

The day… 

Where to begin? What are the words that can put into action where we are at or what we are feeling? 
The decision.. Well after 2-3 years of contemplating should we go for four, can we handle it? Can I handle it? To LETS DO THIS!!! And all the prompting of friends and family, both for and against! I must admit it was quite the process. And yes I succumb to the Woman.. Lol. Yes the woman usually wins. 
The excitement of finding out and knowing before my bride that she was indeed pregnant. Yes, my intuition kicked in and I knew before Danielle did or the tests even showed. Instantly we were elated yet, cautious. We knew there can be complications and wanted to wait till we crossed the delicate line of the “First Trimester” before we told anyone, or even the kids. So in true fashion, that is what we did. 
Around Valentine’s Day we let our parents and kids know we were Prego and the excitement and anticipation continued to grow.. “Roses are red, Valentine’s are sweet, our family is growing by 2 feet and a heartbeat!” This is how the announcement read, as our parents and kids screamed with excitement. The range on emotions was incredible and we were overwhelmed with the support of our family.
Gender, yep, with all these new tests we were able to find out gender and all the genetic testing by 12 weeks. Insane, right? Yes I said 12 weeks. So in true form, we videoed it as we found out with the kids. Most everyone was set on having a girl, and I wanted a girl, but thought, gotta be a boy! When we opened the envelope we were ecstatic! All the kids yelled and screamed.. It’s a girl, and danced around the room! 
From that point forward the name game arose, and I, being stubborn, didn’t want to play. I have lost this battle in the last you see, and all of our kids names changed in the final weeks, or days, or day of birth. I didn’t want to get attached to a name unless it was THE NAME! This time it was different. As the Dr told us the probability of our girl making it, We couldn’t help but name her! We wanted to pray for her specifically! 
Prayer works and warriors United! 
Wow, within two hours of our Dr visit with possible outcomes, we had 15 people come over and pray over us! Can you say powerful? Wow. The love and support of our family, community and Faith family was tremendous! The notes, texts, calls, support has been overwhelming.
Wow, within two hours of our Dr visit with possible outcomes, we had 15 people come over and pray over us! Can you say powerful? Wow. The love and support of our family, community and Faith family was tremendous! The notes, texts, calls, support has been overwhelming.
We were asking for a miracle and #PrayersForCharlie, and although the outcome was not what we wanted, I believe we still witnessed to some incredible things. We were

able to draw so much strength from leaning on our Faith, and from all those around us. Not sure we could have done this alone! The last 12 days has been a roller coaster of emotions, and wow… 

During this challenging time, our prayer life as family has grown tremendously as a family. I know that our kids have witnessed us in a time of need and challenge lean on Him above! We have prayed relentlessly together for blessings and for our struggles! Our hope is that our kids have experienced His love and grace, and in times of need they will lean on Him too! 
During this time, I have experienced more prayer in public places, and workplaces than I have ever experienced. Prayers were online, in person, phone calls, via text or wherever. The topic of God and His love has been paramount! Numerous times over the last week I have broken down, however, late last week I had a realization. I had been asking for a miracle, and I felt like they were already happening all around us. Through people and experiences it’s really kind of hard to explain. “Life is but a vapor,” we are told, and eternity is a long time! I am so grateful for our Lord and Savior, and His presence in our life!
Spirits up. We thought we had a sign that Charlie was doing better after a good Dr appointment yesterday, but it turned out God has a bigger plan for Charlie! This morning at about 2 am our beautiful baby girl was born, tiny as she may be, had the heart of a warrior! We may not know the reasons, and it was not our wish, but the Orr Family has an angel in Heaven. May our father in heaven keep her safe until we meet again. Say hi to papa for us Charlie! 
So as I pause in writing this, taking a moment to see the most precious fingers and toes, tears pour down our cheeks, as we mourn the loss of our baby girl, weighing in at a half pound, and 7 inches long. I hold her and pray for her asking God to care for her till we can see each other again. Wow.. 
As for our balloons raising our prayer requests and the countless prayers said across our country, We know they were not unheard. He must just have bigger plans for her than we know! So our prayer has shifted to, Lord fill our hearts. Give us peace and strength as we learn to understand. May we be steadfast and true and may we draw nearer to you! Thank you for our 3 healthy, amazing kiddos you have entrusted to us, and may we be the example you so desire.

Please pray for us, and help lift our spirits! 
In Jesus Name 

Lucky…The Silver Lining #FamilyMatters

Through all the madness and through thick and thin I can’t be lucky enough for my, well what most people would say would be their “Out-Laws.” Well, I can’t quite say that. For as long as I can remember, they have been an extension of my “blood” family. 

From the years when I first met my amazing bride through present they have seen it all, from the very worst of me, to the best, and everything in between! (and they still stand beside me) I can still recall all the dinners at their house when welcomed me in, as I was out here in CA, with no family here! It was truly awesome. 
I am truly lucky, cause not only did I get the girl, but I got the loving, compassionate family with it as well! 
Through our situation right now, Allyn, aka Wonder Woman, has been here every step of the way, to selflessly help both Danielle and I with the daily processes of life, and I don’t know what we would do without her! I think the thing I struggle with the most, is sometimes we are just tired, spent, and she just hangs in, and loves us where we are at. No judging or comments, (most of the time) she is so giving of herself. 
At the end of the day, she is an incredible example of who I can hope to be when my kids, or family is in need in the future! 
Thank you Mimi & Grandpa… You guys are truly “Super Heroes!’ Thank you for making such and incredible impact on my children! I know they will always cherish you! You guys make them a priority, and it shows. You guys make the time and are at all their performances, games, events and so much more! In case you wondered if it was noticed, or appreciated! YES… 
I love you guys, and thank you for being you! 

My Birthday Wish.. Love and Faith tied up in a bow! #PrayForCharlie Ryan J Orr

Charlie Update:

Birthday wishes are only so fun when you feel like you are walking through a dark valley.

Charlie is the name of our baby girl who is in Danielle’s belly, and we decided for the first time with any of our kids to name her before she is born! The last week or so has been extremely challenging in our house. From spending most of the night in the ER on Friday- Sat, to running from doctor to doctor for continuous updates on her status.

Little did we know when we named her that her name means strength, and that she is “warrior.” That is exactly what we need her to be! She will need to battle through and overcome some adversity and the odds to make it though!

On Sat night most of the amniotic fluid was lost for no apparent reason, and she really needs it to grow and be strong, and to allow her lungs to grow!

The doctors although empathetic and sweet,  have been incredible, but they are also clear that the numbers are not in our favor. Both of our specialists have also told us that they will not rule anything out because they have seen it all! That if we are believers that it may be time to start praying. I thought, we can do that!

On the way home, I  asked Dani, can I ask my guys to come over, and she instantly said yes.. Within 2 hours we had 15 people in my living room praying over us asking our Lord above for a miracle. It was such an incredible show of love. (His greatest gift) We were so moved, and grateful. As we move forward we had an option, clam up, be silent and retreat or plug forward, doing our best to live in obedience with what we say we believe!

This time has been extremely challenging for us all, including the little ones and they do their best to process all that is going on! As we Sat them down on Sunday, for Riley and Bryce, well they lost it, while Graham was the clown keeping us smiling and laughing! We as a family have been praying and sharing, laughing and crying begging our Father above for strength and a miracle.

Monday came and went as a blur and the visit with the specialist was less about what he said and more about what he has been avoiding to say. The Odds… When asked we were given several scenarios of which most are not what we want, but the biggest was, well, “I am not going to say impossible, I have seen it all.” If you “Believe,” now would be a great time to pray! I left there broken, and from moment to moment holding back the tears. I said to Danielle, how can I love someone so much that I have never met, touched, seen.. I know we were both dying a little on the inside, clinging on to, there has got to be a way, or if not, it has to be part of God’s plan. HE is in control.

So as I was looking down the face of my birthday and the BD wishes to come, and the questions, hey where are we gonna go for your Birthday, I could not think of celebrating! All I could think about was our little girl.. I wanted to hear kids playing, and lifting up prayers to Heaven. LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER! I had the most incredible birthday celebration with easily 80-100 people in the park there to play, and send a prayer up to the heavens. WOW… That many people cared to take the time, and to come together to pray. Moms, & Dads, Friends & Family, all came to lift Danielle & Charlie up in prayer. You want to talk about moving… Wow! Danielle wasn’t quite up to coming but thanks to FaceTime, we brought her in on a video feed where I KNOW she felt the love!

We can’t thank you enough for the Phone Calls, Texts, Messages, Notes and more and how they keep us going! Thank you for giving us strength through this outpouring of love!

As for today, well, last night was another restless night, Danielle is on bedrest, we had a Dr appt today, and we did not have much change. We are praying on a miracle, and we know that our God is so much bigger than this. We will not give up, we will not waiver!

The Role Title Companies Play in Real Estate- Ryan J Orr

Purchasing a home is probably the biggest single investment you are going to make in your lifetime. The importance of protecting your purchase cannot be overstated! With endless possibilities of things that may potentially go wrong during a real estate transaction, title insurance is crucial to ensure that the security of your new property is safe, sound and reliable.
Title insurance protects you the buyer against forgery, incompetence of grantor or mortgagor, unknown heirs, fraud, impersonation, and countless other risks that could occur during a real estate transaction. It helps to prevent future losses arising out of events that have happened in the past.
Your title company will search and examine the public land records surrounding title to your property. They will ensure that the seller is in fact the legal owner of the property, that the degree of ownership is currently and accurately vested in the seller, the status of the property taxes, among many other things in order to convey “clear title.”
Fidelity National Title is proud to offer the most comprehensive and customer oriented service available from any title company today. We take pride in our work and are consistently growing our market share because of our standard of excellence and commitment to caring about every transaction we process. We look forward to the opportunity to prove to you why Fidelity National Title is the absolute gold standard for title insurance today.  Contact your Fidelity National Title Sales Executive to open an order!

The Role of the Title Company in Real Estate Transactions
A HOME designed to meet the individual needs of the family is a wonderful experience, but before the buyers actually get their dream home, they will run headlong into dozens of home ownership details.
The purchase of a home may prove to be the largest single nancial investment many people may make in their lifetime; therefore, the importance of fully protecting such an investment cannot be overstressed.
A basic home ownership protection essential to the security of the home is safe, sound, reliable title insurance.
But what is title insurance?
It is the application of the principles of insurance to risks which are present in all real estate transactions. These risks are divided into two main categories: Hidden hazards which cannot be detected in the examination of title and human errors which will always be with us.
Examples of hidden hazards are FORGERY, INCOMPETENCE OF GRANTOR OR MORTGATOR, UNKNOWN HEIRS, FRAUD, IMPERSONATION, etc.
Title insurance di ers from other types of insurance by protecting against future losses rising out of events that have happened in the past. There are no annual premiums. One premium, based on the amount of the sale or mortgage, is paid when the policy is issued and is good for the life of the policy.
A mortgage policy, insuring the lender, stays in e ect until the loan is paid o . An owner’s policy, insuring the buyer, is good as long as the owner or owner’s heirs own the property.
Initially, the title company will search and examine the public land records to investigate information surrounding title to the property.
The facts revealed by the search will determine:

  • That the seller is, in fact, the legal owner of the property.
  • That the “estate” or degree of ownership being sold is currently and accurately vested in the seller.
  • The presence of any unsatis ed mortgages; judgments or similar liens which must be satis ed before “clear title” can be conveyed.
  • Existing restrictions, easements, rights of way or other rights granted to others who are not owners which may limit the right of ownership.
  • The status of property taxes and other public or private assessments.
    These matters will be re ected in a preliminary report or “title commitment”. The preliminary report is issued to the mortgage lender or purchaser before the closing.
    As you can see, the title company is constantly involved in the sales transaction almost from the time the purchase agreement is signed, through and beyond the closing. Working mostly behind the scenes, but always in close coordination with agents, escrow, lenders, and legal counsel, Fidelity National Title strives to carry out this complex procedure in an e cient and friendly manner.
    Title insurance protection gives a homeowner peace of mind by protecting the security of the home and the safety of the investment.

Fired Up for opportunity with CA Senator Morrell! MC

Senator Morrell’s Patriots of the Past, Present, & Future Ceremony & Dinner

I am beyond excited to be selected by the Senator to MC this event tonight.. Last year was an incredible event and I was selected as a recipient of one of the awards and this year I am honored to help run the event! I am beyond blessed and grateful for the opportunity! I love what Senator Morrell does and how great of an example he is in our community! 
-Ryan J Orr
Picture from last year 
“Few can fully understand the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Armed Forces to protect and defend our country,” said Morrell. “Patriots of the Past, Present, and Future is about reflecting on their service and how we as a community can support them, whether through helping out at local veterans events or pursuing public policy changes that improve lives and ensure smooth transitions to civilian life once they leave the military. We need to remember, honor, and recognize their continued patriotism and promote these virtues in the hearts and minds of younger generations.”
The event will honor veterans, active duty service men and women, reservists, members of the National Guard, and businesses and organizations that have supported them. It will also be an opportunity to discuss public policy issues affecting veterans, including Senate Bill 418(link is external), which would help active duty California State University students finish their college degrees, and Senate Bill 2(link is external), which would clarify property tax exemptions for Veterans Halls.
“Patriots” from around the 23rd Senate District will be recognized in four categories – Business, Education, Public Safety and Community Service. “Patriots” are defined as:
  • Patriot of the Past: A veteran of a conflict such as World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam War.
  • Patriot of the Present: A currently enlisted service member, a reservist, a veteran of a recent conflict such as the Gulf War or Operation Iraqi Freedom, or a business or organization that currently serves veterans in some capacity.
  • Patriot of the Future: An individual under 21 years of age who either actively serves the military or veterans or plans on enlisting.
Nominations were submitted from all over the 23rd Senate District. Last year’s award winners were asked to review the applications and select this year’s honorees, which will be announced at the event. A full list of finalists can be found here.
