Boy, am I ready for a NEW year! 2009 brought ALOT of happiness for our family but also ALOT of trials. I pray that this year our family would be blessed beyond our imagination and that we would give our God all the Glory.
After struggling with infertility, going through IVF, and getting pregnant with our sweet miracle in 2007, we welcomed Reese Taryn into our family in 2008 and what a JOY she had been to parent and watch grow up. I secretly hoped that 2009 would bring another miracle baby to our family, but that was not in God's plans for us - especially on the financial aspect (IVF is NOT cheap - and is not covered by insurance). Now, let's see where 2010 takes us...maybe we'll be blessed with another child. We'll be going through IVF again, so please keep us in your prayers. It is SUCH an emotional rollercoaster and this time around, I've got one more person to keep my sanity for and that sure is going to be hard. The desire of my heart is to be a mommy and I just KNOW Reese will be a great big sister. Clay and I would covet your prayers as we begin this journey again.
2009 was a fun, yet challenging year for our family. We had alot of FIRSTS and celebrated alot of milestones with our Reesey, I accomplished things in my own life, Clay and I made some FUN memories with friends, wedding planning and wedding day for my sister...
2009 also brought some struggles -- mainly financially. Clay and I started struggling and made MANY changes to our lifestyle and prioritized our necessities. We've come a long way but also still have a long way to go and hope that 2010 is much easier on us. And as of yesterday, I have handed the checkbook over to Clay. I can not handle that stress any more and thankfully he willingly took over.
I have some personal changes that I would like to make in my own life - spiritually and physically. I have things that I'm struggling with right now and I'm not sure where to even start. I'm praying first for guidance from the Lord!
I sure hope everyone has a wonderful 2010 and that God blesses you over and abundant!
I'll be back with Christmas pictures....promise!

I hope you are blessed with another child soon, they will be lucky to have you as a mommy:) You are not the only people struggling financially we are too and it's humbled us beyond belief. I hope 2010 is GREAT for you!!
Praying for you and the Lord's will for you and your sweet family. I love you and am always here for you (even if we don't see each other that much)!
Funny how life has so many bumps in the road isn't it! I will be praying for God to bless your family and guide you through this time. I know waiting for that coveted baby is so hard especially when you want it so bad. Praying for your family and the Lords will be done.
