I have been surprised that this week has not been harder. Let me start by saying that I have an AMAZING friend that remembered and brought me flowers. You are an amazing friend and I don't know what I would do without you. You have turned into one of my very best friends! So thank you!!!!
One year ago this last Sunday was one of the toughest days of my life when at 20 weeks we lost our baby boy. This really challenged me in so many ways. I am so glad to know that it has brought Jeff and I closer and has also made me realize how much I want to have kids. I cannot tell you the support I had and the love I felt from people that I haven't talked to in a long time or was never really close to. I feel that Heavenly Father blessed us with this experience so that we would put into perspective what really matters. I cannot say that I don't have moments where I feel like life isn't fair or wonder why someone people are blessed with kids that really don't necessarily want them or can take care of them. I understand that life just happens that way and it's part of life. It has never been fair, I do, however, believe that it will be worth it! Maybe this year will be our year.
Onto other more pleasant news...we booked a cruise!!! This is making it one a year since we got married and am loving this "tradition" that I am sure will end really soon when we have more responsibilities. We are going with some fun friends and I cannot wait to get out of here and enjoy 8 AMAZING days far away from life. Even more important news....I have another NEPHEW!!! Mike and Holly welcomed their sweet baby boy on 1/11/11! What a cool birthday!! He was 8 lbs 3 ozs and 22" long! He is PERFECT and I couldn't love him more. They chose the name Kamden. His sisters are so excited to have another baby here. I guess my 4 year old niece is taking her changing world out on their dog. She is SO funny and I sort of laugh when I hear this. I definitely wouldn't want her to take her anger out on me.
This is one other thing on my mind. I have decided that Jeff and I have amazing friends. We hang out with such fun people and have really good friends. But on top of that and even more important they all pretty much have such cute kids and I adore all of them. It makes hanging out with them REALLY fun!!! Well that is about all I have right now. I know that we are pretty boring people. So I am sorry if you read this blog and are bored out of your mind.

I didn't realize when we "talked" this morning that is had been one year. I have a feeling this year will be your year. Congrats on the cruise. I am so jealous. You definitely need to post pictures of that amazing vacation.
ReplyDeleteYou really are an amazing person. I can't imagine going through what you did and still being positive about it all. Congrats on the cruise as well!! Live it up while you can cuz as soon as you do have kids this will definitely stop being a yearly tradition!!
