IVF Round 2

October 12, 2015 |

At the beginning of last month we started our second round on In-vitro Fertilization. (you can read about our first round here). Things were very different the second time around. I thought I was prepared for the process, but I’ve learned you’re never fully prepared. The Meds were different, the procedures were different and the…

In-vitro

June 30, 2015 |

During the month of April and May Scott and I went through our first round of in-vitro fertilization or commonly called IVF. This is the most invasive form of infertility treatment. We really didn’t think we’d have to resort to this, but we wholeheartedly believed (as did our doctor) that it would work for us.…

When God Says No

March 29, 2015 |

With trials in life, sometimes it is easy to feel abandoned by God. When prayers of pleading and desire seem to go unanswered it is easy to wonder why. I was having one of these moments of confusion about a month ago. In my moments of trial or sadness I often turn to music to lift…

Infertility and getting a puppy

February 18, 2015 |

Infertility

I’ve been debating for the last few months about writing this post. Mainly because I was hoping that things would change and I wouldn’t need to write it. Scott and I are struggling with infertility. We’ve been wanting to start our family for quite a while now and it hasn’t gone as we planned. It…

A week ago my Papa Mac passed away. He was one the greatest men I have ever known. He loved me unconditionally. He made me feel special and important. He was the most kind person I have ever known. He served others and gave selflessly without ever expecting anything in return. I will miss his…

Becoming a Woman

March 4, 2014 |

I’ve been reading this quote everyday before I walk out the door and face the day. I want to become the woman that Heavenly Father wants me to be. I want to be tender, kind, refined and full of faith. It’s going to take work and time, but I’ll keep trying.

February 2, 2014 |

I love Sundays! It’s amazing how Heavenly Father helps you recognize that he is always aware of your circumstances. It’s been a hard week and sometimes I get discouraged about what the future holds. It can be scary to think about. Then at church today someone shared this quote and I knew it was meant…

Change

October 26, 2013 |

I’m trying to challenge myself everyday. And even when I don’t succeed, it doesn’t mean I’ve failed. Because, I’m trying. That’s got to count for something
