Update

Well friends,I was hoping by now I could create a blog saying we are expecting or something like that...but for now I cant. I have really had to sit down and take a deep breath with the whole baby adventure. As most of you know,Mike and I started trying for a baby in December with no luck to date. It is definatly disheartening to go from thinking I could never have a baby to hearing I can and now experiencing fertility issues. I know I know, there are the stories of couples trying for years before they get pregnant...we don't have that luxury...that's one of the sacrifices to be made when you enter into a marriage with a significant age difference. It is so frustrating...we are a married almost 2 years,happy, financially stable couple ready to have a baby only to experience problems. Of course if I were 16 and not planning,this would have happened the first try. I have had alot of anger directed towards God....alot of "why me's" but with the roller coaster our lives have been on the last few weeks,I think this is why I haven't gotten pregnant....now I can see,that maybe God was holding us off for our own good. Mike recently got a demotion from his position,with a significant pay cut,right when we were about to go through the home buying process. Unfortunately, after the wedding we fell back on two credit cards that have gotten out of hand (let this be a word of advice to those of you who want to spend $15k on your dream wedding) and we were finally at the point we could settle the cards and get us into our first home..and then the demotion happened. So we went from moving our lives in the right direction to having to step back and re-evaluate the situation. It is not the ideal situation,but we found a beautiful rental home that will allow us to have the room we need for the kids,and allow to take the next year or two,and get completely out of debt,and then maybe we can buy our dream home. So that is a little update as to what has been going on the last 7 months...hopefully by the end of the year we will have some good news for you all!
