Houston Had a Fascinating Beginning
John and Augustus Allen, two brothers, purchased the land that would become Houston from a widow in 1837. They named their new city after the president at the time, Sam Houston, and ran an advertisement for Houston in the Telegraph and Texas Register a few days after they purchased the land. They were able to make Houston the capital of Texas temporarily by building a capital building for the government.

A Lengthy Struggle
Lauren and David Perkins had been trying to conceive for a year and a half to no avail. They had seen different specialists and doctors, who were unable to find any concrete cause for the couple’s fertility issues. Lauren was a keen runner, and it was theorized that this hobby had somehow stopped her cycle, causing her to be unable to conceive. This was not known to be the case, however, and the Perkins couple did not have any breakthroughs until they went away on a trip with friends to Nicaragua.
