Life Throws You Curves....

I have been amazed over the past year all of the random dates I have remembered.  Today is one of those dates that brings back so many emotions.  This exact day one year ago I found out that I was pregnant with our first baby.  After 14 months of trying with no luck, I'm sure you can only imagine how excited we both were.  We weren't sure whether to tell people or keep it a secret "just in case".  We did end up telling some of our family and close friends the exciting news never dreaming that a year later we would still be waiting for a healthy miracle baby. 

I have also been amazed at how God has used this opportunity to make me stronger in so many ways that wouldn't have been possible without dealing with these trials.  I have met some of the most amazing people who share a similar story to mine and I have been able to provide some comfort (I hope) to others dealing with the same situation.  I feel like CJ and I have become closer as a couple and we truly cherish all the small things life has to offer.  I have learned (and still working on) patience, thankfulness, and feel like I have a better understanding of what it means to be humble. 

I have come to better understand that as a family we are right where God wants us to be at this point but I'm also trusting that He will bless us with little ones when the time is perfect.  Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us this past year.  It means more to us than you could ever know!
