6 More Months

There are only 6 more months until the wedding! I can hardly wait.. but ya'll, wedding planning can be a little stressful at times. I'm very happy with all the plans so far, but just when I think something is taken care of, there's another little detail to pay attention to. The great thing is, I know that no matter what, the day will be perfect because it will be filled with a lot of happiness and love. My main goal is to for everyone, including myself and Steven to have fun.

I still have so much to do, and I need to be better at sitting down and planning. I need lists for my lists. I have a great help in my bridesmaids and I am thankful for them. I can't wait to spend time with them. I think we are going to have a fun time in planning the bridal shower and the bachlorette weekend as well. 

And ya'll....Pinterest..... what can I say... I want to try every.single.idea.ever.

I actually get a little overwhelmed at the ideas and have to stop looking at it for awhile. Anyone else?

I wasn't too into getting bridal magazines. I bought a couple and it just seemed like they repeated each other. 

So, I just keep adding to my Pinterest boards, and coming up with all these new ideas. 

In the meantime, I should get started on those lists. The tasks to do aren't getting any less...

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...

Infertility Battle: The Beginning

Lots of people know about my journey with Fibromyalgia. But what a lot of people don't know about is that I have struggled with infertility as well. It has been something that has been a battle since I was 23 years old. There have been so many wishful moments, followed by sad moments, and stressful moments. When I met Steven, and we first started dating, I made it clear to him that before things got too serious, he needed to know that I struggled with infertility and that biological children may not be possible for me, and that if he thought about being serious with me, he needed to think really long and hard about that. Being the man that he is, he said pretty much said he loved me and not my ability to have or not have children, and that there are plenty of children who need homes and people who will love them. Bless him. As soon as we got married, we began our battle with infertility together. I am older than Steven by about 12 years so, according to our doctor, our years l...

B has been here with us about 6 months now. Ya'll. Just in case you didn't know. Parenting is hard. I know this is not a revelation to most of you. But we didn't ease into it. There wasn't nine months of expectation and dreams of what it would be like to hold a newborn in our arms. We did not have to do the diaper changes, or nights without sleep. It's hard in a different way. When you are parenting a child with special needs, there is a list of things you never thought you would have to think about.  Some nights I lay and stare at the ceiling and think of all the things that were challenges that day, and all the successes. I think of the list of things that needs to be done tomorrow, and try to make mental lists of things to not forget. I am barely keeping all the appointments straight, and I am watching my leave balance at work decline steadily. It makes my desire to be able to stay at home even stronger. Just to be able to manage all the things that need to...
