Well I finally did it! I started my own blog! A few of my friends from my infertility group convinced me to start one! So here I am! Anyway today is day 1 of my blog so I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself and my husband to those that do not know me yet :)
My husband and I have an amazing love story....No not really lol but to me its perfect:) Ironically we both worked in a bar. I was a beer tub girl and he was a bar back. The first night we met, he filled my beer tub and made sure I had everything I needed. Well I somehow managed to forget to tip him out and skipped out of there. He told the manager that I stiffed him lol! Next day I got to work, and went find him and handed him the money I "Stiffed" him. Of course it was a lapse in memory and hey, let's be honest, when you are given the opportunity to get off early you do not think of anything besides getting out of the door! After a few weeks I started staying after to "help" him restock the bars hoping he would take a hint and ask me out! Well that didn't happen! So of course I took matters into my own hands and asked him out! He said yes, we went on a date, and well dated for about a year. After a year he asked me to marry him. We were engaged for a year and married on June 20th, 2009. I remember thinking " Oh goodness, he's not going to show up!" But he did!
We have been married for 5 years now and sometimes we drive each other crazy but I love that man more than red beans and rice ;)
Most children dream of being a doctor or a lawyer or a cowboy when they grow up. But not me! Nope! I always wanted to be a wife and a mommy! In high school my senior year, I had to do a report on colleges I wanted to attend. My report was about how I wasn't going to attend college because all I wanted to pursue was being a wife and mommy. I went on to explain how I reached my decision and that nothing was going to change my mind. And I received an A on it! I recently ran into my teacher (mind you it has been 10yrs since I graduated) and he asked if I fulfilled my goals. How do you tell someone that you are going through infertility? How do you say we have been trying for 5 years with no luck? How do you look at them with no tears and say No I'm not yet a mommy?
And that is when I looked at him and said " No, I'm not yet a mommy but soon". Soon. Such a simple word that has such a positive meaning. Soon. It says I'm not giving up on this journey. Not without a fight. It tells me that I may not be a mommy as of yet but God is working it out in my favor. Soon. Yes soon I will be that mommy that I always dreamed of.
As I began this chapter in my life (Blogging about our infertility journey) I am so excited. I hope that as others read this, they either get a better understanding of infertility, or for ones that are going through it to realize that they are not alone. I hope as I continue to do this blog that I can help encourage others and raise awareness. I also feel so blessed to be able to openly discuss our infertility journey as well as our faith and our steps. Here is where I will keep everyone updated on our journey as well as just talking about random things that are going on. So welcome to all my family and friends. Love you all! See you tomorrow!
