Happy Thanksgiving and Stars Hollow

Steven and I celebrated our first Thanksgiving in our new home. We hosted dinner for a few family and friends complete with with turkey and all the fixings. We followed up with pumpkin pie, and of course football. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed it so much. It was also a very busy day, and unfortunately, we did not get any pictures!

We are not Black Friday Shoppers, so we stayed home and decorated for Christmas! All the inside decorations are up and as soon as we get a chance, we are putting up the outside decorations.

Today, we did run some errands. I told someone that you know you have reached a new level of adulthood when you look forward to buying a vacuum cleaner. But it was good to get out and spend time together. We enjoyed some Target time, and of course Starbucks, and finished our night out with a stop for pizza at our favorite place, Frank's.

Two words... "Gilmore Girls." Oh dear, this is my favorite show of all time. I have been watching the new "revival" series on Netflix, "Gilmore Girls, A Year in the Life." I'm on Summer so far, and I only have Fall to go, and I am already dreading the end. I have always wanted to live in Stars Hollow and be Lorelai Gilmore. It is really a fantastic show.

Once all the decorations are up, I will post pictures!

Hope your Thanksgiving Holiday was as wonderful as mine!

What Infertility Means .... to me...

This week is National Infertility Awareness week. I thought I might take a moment and just express what infertility feels like to me. While at times I do feel sorry for myself, this isn't a pity post. Just an awareness one, and one that comes from my heart.  I truly believe that God makes families in many different ways. It can be biologically, fostering, adoption or maybe He choses that your family is just to be the people around you. Although I know that its sounds cliche, but I believe that God's plans for me are better than what I have for myself. I do not know if I will ever have a biological child. I hope too. Very much so. But, I also know if in my life, it is only ever my husband, dogs and I, that I can be happy with that as well.  However, there are days where the ache for a child can be almost overwhelming. When it seems like every woman at the grocery store is pregnant, or when invitations for baby showers, gender reveals and first birthdays arrive. This does not

Ain't it Funny How Life Changes...

So many things have changed, even in the last 2 weeks. Steven and I are doing great. We have settled into life so well. I just realized last week that it has been almost a year since we moved into our home. We are loving the space in the yard and worked hard last summer to clean up the yard a bit. We will have to do some more this year, but its coming along very well. In December, we adopted a new dog. A true blue bluetick coonhound. She's such a sweetheart. She has some nervousness that we are working on. We have named her Peyton, and she gets along great with our other two dogs, Jarvis and Loki. Crate training/potty training is the biggest challenge, but we are making some progress! The battle against infertility continues, but we continue to be hopeful. Knowing that God can make families in many different ways. We actually have had my god daughter come to stay with us. It has been a life adjustment, but things are going well. I think everyone is a little tired, but, we wou

Our Life with B

B has lived with us for a little over a year. Ya'll. It's been a roller coaster. There is nothing about life that looks the way it did before. There is nothing about life that feels the way it did before. We are suddenly parents to a teen. Teenagers are hard. Autism is hard. Kabuki syndrome is hard. Mood disorders are hard. But we are making it. We have finally settled down as far as appointments go. And thankfully, my family is able to help get her to some appointments, like speech, when our jobs keep us from being able to go. We still struggle with some of her behaviors and knowing the best way to handle them. We have seen an improvement but we still have a long way to go as a family. We, as parents, have a lot to learn. And in turn, we have a lot to teach B. We are still learning about services that may be available for her. And then we have to decide what services may benefit her the most, that will fit in the time that we have. She can only handle so much a
