Hello everyone! Who doesn't love them a little Forrest Gump, lets be honest? I just wanted to welcome everyone to my new blog and give you a general run down on what to expect and just a little background info on me and the hubs!
I have always contemplated beginning my own blog, just never really followed through with it. I never really had anything that I thought people would want to take time out of their day to read about! Then I started really following blogs, and some of them are just about random things, and I love it! Those typically are the best kind :) So after some kicking in the butt by myself I decided to go ahead and do it! Just to warn you all, this blog will probably have a little bit of everything.
I recently got married back in October and basically DIY'ed my entire wedding. Absolutely everyone told me I should have blogged about it during the process because everything was so fantastic! I was blown away that people would *actually* be interested in my crafting! Works for me :) I love to have a reason to craft. I will probably write a post one day with a run down of our wedding and everything I made etc. Also I promise if I have any fun projects for you guys or any Pinterest experiments, they WILL be posted here!
My husband and I have been friends for nearly 6 years, not until 2 years ago did we decide that maybe we should explore it more than "just friends". Things moved quickly, and I do not regret it at all! We knew everything about each other, our strengths, weaknesses, faults, and everything good about one another. We knew from day one that we would get married and start a family. He is in his 30's and desperately wants a baby of his own and I knew myself that I wanted a child with him. After we decided we were ready to get married and make a baby, we went for it. Due to some very important elderly family members that I want so desperately to be part of our child's life, we decided to start trying before we got married. They are in very poor health and you never know when their last day may be. If people judged, oh well. We had our reasons. So we started trying, and 9 months had passed. We *officially* became engaged (he wanted to wait a bit because he didn't want people to think we were cray cray for moving so quickly). The wedding came and went, and here we are 19 months later, still no baby in sight.
*Phew* There it is, out for the public to see! I have only really told select people about our struggles and our decisions to try before our marriage. I have gotten to the point where I just don't care if I am judged. Either way I want to get out there our struggles. It is empowering to me when I see other women going through what we are and are staying strong. So many people do not realize just how prominent infertility is and how hard of a struggle it is. So you will see posts often regarding our journey!
That seems to be it for now, thank you if you held in for this huge first post! I hope you return and become a follower and get enjoyment from my blog as I get from so many others.
Bye for now!
