My lips are sealed

So I have some exciting news but I can't share until its official... things are still in the works... :)

Hopefully I can announce tomorrow!! But since I'm not sure who reads my blog I can't announce it yet..

So moving on before I give in!!

Thank you so much for the encouraging words everyone sent after yesterdays post. In fact I kind of feel embarrassed. LOL

It was such a pity party. But as you have read and seen I don't really put on a pretense about what is going on in my life on this blog.

Right now I'm feeling so excited about my birthday weekend! Its jammed packed the next four days!

Tomorrow - Driving to my school location which is about an hour and a half away. My mom is taking the drive with me. So that will be some fun mom/daughter time! Maybe I can find my old Backstreet Boys CD?? Mom loved them just as much as I did.... well maybe not AS much. She didn't have a wall full of posters heehee

Saturday- a special event at our church. I'm looking forward to that! Then Josh is whisking me away for my birthday to the mountains. Not sure what or where we are going. He wants me to feel special and doesn't want me planning anything. (confession: even though thats what I told him I wanted was to not have to plan my OWN birthday, letting him have the reigns has proved to be difficult LOL)

Sunday- My pastors granddaughters are being dedicated. I haven't met them yet, but are the cutest twins! Then after, I believe that afternoon we are having a birthday bonfire... See my uncle and I share the same birthday. In fact, he was the baby (14yrs old) and was so jealous that I stole the limelight :) he is still bitter... HEEHEE I love you Uncle B! (ssshhhhhh... Don't tell him I put a pic of him on my blog LOL)

From my 25th birthday
Monday- is actually my BIRTHDAY!! 27... yeah feeling old... I talked about that yesterday ... Just ignore the pity party at the beginning. :)

Not sure what I'm doing. I'm thinking about working half a day and maybe have a birthday lunch with... ?? Josh has to work sooo... Who ever wants to have lunch Monday let me know!!

Then the most wonderful part.... At 5:30 we will be gathering in memory and remembrance of Hope and all other precious little ones lost. I truly believe this will be my favorite part.


I think this is enough for one post...

Happy Blogging!!

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
