Wow, the frequency of new posts has diminished since Bill's return! We have been busy living life - work, dogs, moving, wedding planning, etc. We're grateful for the normalcy in our lives and enjoy coming home at night to relax on the couch and watch the dogs play.
We're soon-to-be proud new iMac owners, and we're so excited! It doesn't arrive until Tuesday, but I'm already a hard-core convert. We got a smoking deal on it through my company and the timing was perfect since after having our desktop in for repairs it was recently determined it was kaput. That's part of the reason for the writing dry spells and lack of any new pictures.
There is no doubt we are incredibly blessed, our lives have been touched so much. We are however struggling with starting our family still. I had my corrective surgery planned for May 5th, but oddly I never started my cycle and therefore we had to postpone the surgery (since it can only occur between the 7th and 11th day of my cycle). Here we are 19 days later and we're at a standstill - three negative pregnancy tests and my second dose of Provera (to induce my cycle)...nothing. Our frustration is compounded by the fact my specialist is back in Missouri, so seeing him takes a great deal of planning and financial commitment. We pray every night for some alleviation, some steam to hiss out of the pressure cooker, but waiting is the only thing we have been able to count on here recently.
The emotions of all this has taken a toll on us too. This week in particular has been rough, and bless Bill's heart most he can do for me is watch me cry until I fall asleep from exhaustion. I have never met a more patient man, and I couldn't be more grateful for him. So here I am, back to asking for prayers and good thoughts for our family. I thought we'd be golden after he returned home, but it seems God has some other things in mind for us right now.
I know we're not the only ones with hardships and/or frustrations, so with that I sincerely say I hope everyone's doing well and finding themselves incredibly blessed. All our love.
