Marraige Monday: Friends

Josh and I have not been able to find a couple that lives around us that we connect really well with that are around our age. We have great people in our life! But we just never found that "Hangout" couple.

I have kept in touch with one of my friends from my late teens. We have been friends for almost 10 years now! A few months ago we finally made plans to get together so that our husbands could meet. They of course hit it off immediately! They have so much in common!

Since then we have hung out quite often!

So over at Happy Wives club  Fawn wrote a post about a very cool idea her and her husband friends do for fun! So I'm joining in :)

J and I are your pretty average couple! So is our friends S and Jo!

We all love games! J, S, and Jo love playing games on various game consoles... I do sometimes. I just do not have the skills LOL!

Board games have been quite a riot with all 4 of us!

I think I have to say my favorite thing was dancing to Micheal Jackson the Experience on our PS3 Move this weekend!

Now, let me tell me you there will be pic and vids up in a couple days! I'll make sure to share!

We danced and did not care what we looked like! It was so FUN!

While trying to keep up with Michael was very difficult we tried our hardest!

I'm so thankful God brought this couple into our lives. S and I have been able to share so much and encourage each other as we are both struggling with infertility. Oh what a blessing to say how I feel or her and we both get it. S and Jo have been great friends to us. S and I both were talking this weekend, how God has such intricate plans for us all! How would we have know that God would bring us 4 together for time such as this. With husbands that are almost twins and all! :) We love you guys!

Having good friends is good for your marriage! You sharpen each other. You can get advice from each other. We all can encourage each other in the Lord, and really what is better then that??

Head over to Happy Wives club!!

    That is SO cool, Lauren! So we were both hanging out with besties this weekend :). Love that you have that special couple because, you are right, it's so good for your marriage. If you lived in Los Angeles, we'd all be hanging out for sure!

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...
