We are SOOO married...

And it's great! It was a perfect day. We didn't have a videographer, but now I wish we had, just so I could relive that day a thousand times. There isn't one thing I would have changed. The honeymoon was perfect as well. Everyone should go to the beach in mid-fall. We even enjoyed getting in the ocean a few days. We shopped, we ate, (boy.. did we shop and eat) and we just enjoyed spending uninterrupted time with each other. And if you ever get a chance to eat at a Paula Deen restuarnt, you should do that as well.  Might be the best meal we had on the honeymoon. Steven enjoyed a brewery and a distillery, and I enjoyed visiting the tasting room of my favorite winery, Duplin. It was just the best time. And it was so hard to come back to real life!


We do not have any of our pictures yet, but I cannot wait to see them. Steven made a great rustic guestbook frame for our wedding guests to sign and for us to display our wedding pictures in, so I can't wait to get them back and have them displayed on the walls for years to come.


Most nights are filled with just regular life stuff. Dinner, clean up and getting ready for the next day. We have a tv show that we watch online so we catch up on that. Its nice to just not have a lot to do.
And its okay with me if it stays this way for a little while longer. Winter is a hard season on my fibro, and it wears me out. So, going to bed at 10pm or earlier, does not hurt my feelings at all!!


Its a good life.... And I'm so thankful!

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
