Update

Wow! Where has the past 3 weeks gone?! They have just flown by.

Here is just a bit of what we have been doing over the past few weeks.

Of course we celebrated Thanksgiving! We hosted at our house...no I did not cook the turkey...we just turned over our house for invasion!! :)We enjoyed every minute of it! It warms are hearts greatly to have family fill our home!


Then we cleared the tables and got ready for a little girl birthday party! My niece, Mallory, turned 2!






Of course Thanksgiving break wouldn't be complete without a quick Black Friday shopping trip!

No those are NOT ALL MY purchases!!

Then, a week ago, we decided to buy a different vehicle!! Pete has been doing some searching for about a year now. He found this truck and got a great deal on it!


That is just a quick glimpse of what we have been doing over the past 3 weeks.

Our journey update...
Currently we are waiting. Yes waiting.
We met with our Dr a few weeks ago and discussed our next step. We have 3 frozen embryos that we are responsible for. We will handle each of those little lives with great care and consideration. God chose to continue growing them for a purpose, a purpose we can not see but TRUST He will reveal to us in the near future. We will have our next implant of 2 of the embryos near the end of January. There is just a few medications I will have to take this time and it will be a piece of cake compared to the whole process.
We have prayed for peace throughout this whole process and I can't even begin to describe to you the peace that we have felt! We know that God is working out His great PERFECT will. Even though it has been painful on our hearts, we know that He ultimately knows what is best for us! We had also said all along that we would try IVF two times and if it was unsuccessful both times, we would pursue adoption. We prepared ourselves for that step. Never did we dream that this is where we would be right now. God chose to move in a way to have these embryos to continue growing for a purpose. We do not understand and have a selfish urge to back away from all of this forever, because we are afraid of heartache. We know that God is bigger than our fears and He asks us to overcome our fears.
The peace that rules in our hearts is indescribable.
This is where we are supposed to be.
This is what we are supposed to be doing.
Thank you God for loving us and caring so deeply for us in this time. Even though it has been painful, we have felt your hand holding us!!! To God be the Glory.

Thank you so much for your prayers, kind words, phone calls, text messages, emails..etc! We have been so encouraged by the overwhelming love from friends and family. We are BLESSED!
