Thoughts on Things

Just so you know, this is by far the worst photograph of me ever. The reason I put it on here is because I think it's hilarious and it makes me laugh every time I see it. Sometimes you just need a laugh, so if any of you do, here's a reason to.

Things have been crazy here for the past two months. We found out we were pregnant in January and were so excited to surprise the family when they came out to visit this spring. Many of you know that we have since miscarried and I had to have a D&C last week. After weeks on progesterone, blood tests, and heartbreaking silence during the ultrasound, we are finally getting to be a little more functional. I do recognize that our trials are not the most devastating because it always seems that you can find someone else that is going through something worse, but I would have to say this has been quite difficult for us. We have, however, been so blessed to have so much love and support from all of you. Thank you for showing us that you care and can relate. I have posted pictures of things that make me smile even when bad things happen.

Lovely bouquets of flowers and cards from dear friends and family.

One of my Valentines.

Caleb. Need I say more? Actually I will. Caleb has received the first award in the Math Facts program at his school. They go in early every Friday morning and take timed math tests. He completed the first segment and received his blue ribbon. Congratulations Caleb. We are so proud of your achievement!

I just need to say one thing about my wonderful husband. I do not believe I could ever find anyone so wonderful and kind. He took such good care of me during all of this and forever shows me how much I mean to him and how much he is willing to sacrifice for me. How blessed I am to be part of his life! I love you David.
