The Best Kept Secret

-
Ok, ok. I know.  I've been a bad blogger.  I'm sorry!  So much has happened but so little can be said at this point.  ~I've got a secret~  There are some BIG things in the mix right now for us.... nothing to do with fertility really (and no, I'm not pregnant).  But just know that when the time is right we will update you guys on what is going on in our lives.  :)

Our Christmas was fantabulous (is that a word??)!  I am enjoying some much needed time off from school, but the frenzy begins again in less than 3 days!  But on the bright side, I will be a Nurse Practitioner in about 7 months!  .::*Cheers erupt*::.

Here we are at the New Year's Eve Party for our awesome youth group at Whitley!



Life is so good right now.  I'm about to bubble over with excitement for what the Lord is doing in our lives right now, and it's killing me not to spill the beans.  But  I will leave you (and this short little blog) on this thought:
"Progress always involves risks.  You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.  It is very hard at times, however, to not let your feet stay planted safely on first.  But whenever you finally reach home base, what an incredible feeling!"

 "They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor" ~ Isaiah 61:3

14 Days in Italy - Part II

-
 So you’ve packed and prepared… here’s what to expect once in Italy. Just a few tips to make the most of your time in this magical place! Create a shared iPhone photo album between you & your travel mates  I can say that this was so great, my husband took some awesome photos that I appreciated having without saying, “Can you send that to me?” And vice versa. Also that way, only one of us had to have our phone out the whole time LOL. Speak to the staff. They’ll take care of you. Italians are (for the most part) affectionate, friendly people who like connection. We loved that, because post-pandemic it seems like everyone forgot how to be kind and communicate like humans. I made sure to smile, look them in the eye, and try to learn a few words in Italian to show some effort and not look like a clueless American. Specifically, if you get to know your hotel staff and treat them with kindness, they’ll watch out for you and take good care of you. We even got to know our main wait...

Italy in 14 days - Travel Tips

-
Want to see Italy but feel overwhelmed with how to make it all happen? Love a seamless yet “in the moment” type of trip? We’ve got you covered with all the lessons we learned along the way in our 14 day journey through Italy (some learned the hard way). This will be tips for the actual travel part, packing, & preparation. I’ll do another blog post on tips for when you’re actually there. Here we go! Book a travel agent. We used Pandy Hinson with TravelMation - her services are free for you, but are priceless. She’s been there/done that and can arrange pretty much every single detail. This saved so much time and headache.  Book business class. Especially if you’re going to fly a red-eye or basically anytime that could involve any amount of sleep. It’s cheaper than first class but pricier than economy. But the best parts - at least on our flights - were that you get TONS of leg room, ability to lay down, a real pillow & blanket, and amazing food/drinks. We flew Lufthansa into ...

My Story

Image
My eyes are heavy with the haze of anesthesia as I feel the weight of a warm post-op blanket cover my body. I’m suddenly aware of the pain. And then my eyes shoot open and I slur with a heavy tongue and a raspy voice to my husband there at my bedside in the sterile recovery room, “Is it over?! What did he say?!” There’s a pause and a sigh and I suddenly feel a weight in that moment, you know that heaviness of a moment that you know will change your path from here on out. “Babe, he said there’s nothing he could do…” Hot tears stream down my cheeks and the pain of a surgery meant to pave the path towards bringing life into this world is now a dead end. It was my 4th surgery to restore order to my uterus and ovaries, which were a tangled mess of endometriosis & scar tissue from a condition known as Asherman’s Syndrome. When I met my husband, I had already had one surgery that seemed benign enough, but it led to the eventual difficult journey of infertility. Of course we didn’...
