Well, it’s been almost a year since I last posted.  Wow!  What a year it’s been.  If I remember correctly, I was not in the best place back then.  Life in general just seemed hard at the time.  Slowly but surely, I’ve learned to put my trust somewhere else, and wouldn’t you know…it worked!  There are still ups and downs, but for the most part, I’ve begun to relax a little and just let life happen.

I’m still hoping for a positive pregnancy test one day, but I’m happy knowing God has our plans already made for us.  I do however plan to help things along after the first of the year by doing some more testing possibly and maybe trying our first IUI.  Baby making has been a little tough the past few months due to the hubby working out of town and only home on the weekends!

The in-laws are coming over to celebrate Christmas this weekend!  What an adventure that always is.  It’s not worth going into detail about because it just gets me all worked up, but let’s just say that when mother-in-law is involved, it’s not pretty.  Rough childhood for my hubby.  I only know bits and pieces, but what I do know about, is very ugly.  At least when the festivities are in our home, she has the common sense to mind her manners for the most part!

We’ll be busy celebrating Christmas for the next 4 weekends!  I love this time of year and getting to see the whole extended family!  I hope my side of the family never quits getting together with all the aunts, uncles, cousins and living grandparents.  It’s been that way since I was little.  I wouldn’t know what to do if we ever stopped!

I’ll leave you with a picture from our latest portrait session taken by my aunt down the road from my parents house!

I wish……

…spring would hurry up already

…I had a tropical vacation planned to escape the bitter cold

…I could see the future

…people weren’t so cruel to one another

…there was a cure for all the un-curable diseases (esp Multiple Sclerosis)

…I could break my rule of NO house pets

…marriage wasn’t so hard

…I knew how to communicate better

…infertility wasn’t a part of my life

…I could learn to stop trying to control my life and let God take over…

I remember when I found my first blog.  I was just married and a member of The Knot.  One of the girls getting married around the same time as me had a blog and I started reading it.  That led me to another blog and that one to another blog and so on.  I had no idea 2 years ago that these blogs would help me in so many ways and that I would find myself in many of the same shoes.  I am very thankful for the wisdom and guidance I get from reading others’ posts.

So, here I am starting my own blog finally.  I can’t say for sure whether I’ll be a regular poster or a once a month poster or if I’ll ever figure out how to post pictures (hopefully someday!).  I’ll just have to see how it goes as I’m still fairly blog illiterate! 

Welcome to my little life.  There will be ups…there will be downs…and hopefully some fun in between!
