I've been waiting on the words to catch up with me for this next post...but I don't know that they ever will.

The one word I have is "thankful". On January 16th I took a pregnancy test. Unlike ALL the others this one said PREGNANT. The word never looked so sweet. John was at work that Sunday morning, and instead of sharing the news like I once dreamed, I called him. at work. and I think I just said
"IT DOESN'T SAY NOT"

Thrilled.

Bloodwork, lab results, progesterone, thyroid checks, bloodwork, labs...

PREGNANT

The official beginning to everything I have ever dreamed.

I've never wanted anything so badly, but had so little control. A lesson in trust. A time filled with prayer.
An amazing journey so far, and I am just THANKFUL that the lord had this journey in store for us.

After a three month hiatus, I think its time to get to blogging.

grab a cup of coffee, we've got some major catching up to do!

WAYYY back in January we took a little trip. Auburn had a little "away game". John dreamed of getting to go, but we knew it was not a realistic idea...until our friend Will called John letting him know that he had access to two tickets! All the pieces quickly started to fall in to place and we decided it was an opportunity we couldn't pass up! I was thrilled for John to have the trip of a lifetime, and was happy to stay home....until I heard words like Sedona, and Grand Canyon. Luckily the boys were sweet enough to let me  tag a long for a great adventure!

Trips are always better when you write about them while they are fresh on your mind. Three months later, not so much. Long story short. We had a BLAST. The trip was fun and easy. Sedona was beautiful. The Grand Canyon was beyond breath taking. We toured National Parks and Indian ruins. Great company and lots of fun things packed our days and nights!

...and surprisingly Will still wanted to be our friend after spending so much time with us!
