Happy Birthday Jesus

Here we are in Vegas, feeling like we are in an alternate universe licking our wounds. It is odd….so very odd. It is by far the busiest we have ever seen it here-what in the world are all of these people (including families with children!!) doing in Las Vegas at Christmas?! I mean, I know why we are here…what about them? As a side note- we have never understood why people bring children here-there are too many things their sweet innocent eyes shouldn’t see.

Another thing, it cost $100 (!!!!!) to check one bag on our flight!!!! And, they now charge $5 to print out your boarding pass ( we had ours already but, WOW!).

Interestingly there is very little Christmas music throughout the places we’ve been so far…we are actually listening to Christmas carols on Pandora right now. I tried to plan ahead and got reservations for supper last night and tonight knowing we wouldn’t want to stand in line somewhere. We ate at a fancy Italian restaurant, Zefferinos…actually too fancy for us!!! No cheese and crackers here!! Check out the “seafood” salad that came with my supper! Do you suppose that is octopus?!

We spent our flight yesterday watching some adoption education videos and will likely do the same today. It is nice to be obligation-free and be able to focus together.

We hope your Christmas is blessed. Cherish your children and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus! xo

Catching up….

A lot has happened since I last blogged. Part of the reason I have decided to blog again is for healing. To help with the grief process and to vent. Plus, I have found myself in recent months gravitating to other women’s blogs with similar struggles to ours and their stories have touched me deeply. They have given me hope at times when I needed it and reality at times when I also needed that! So, perhaps sharing our story may do the same for someone else. If even just one woman can relate and be touched by our story, than my writing will be a success. Just allowing me to open up and release the emotions that are trapped within me will be a success. Everything I share here has been essentially a daily part of our lives for almost three years. It has been trying, exhausting, emotional, scary, exciting, I can go on. My handsome Husband is my confidante and knows all. What would I do without him. I ask this of myself almost every day….and almost every day I also wish I could give him a child.

This is all I have in me tonight but plan on next writing about our babies and these past two years, eventually working up to our new dreams we are reaching for….

To our friends and family, we have received your numerous texts and voice mails (dozens upon dozens!). Thank you. I have listened to every single one and cried throughout your beautiful messages of support. This has been the toughest 10 days of our lives thus far and we are just now getting back on our feet, just now able to verbalize our feelings. We love you.
