Tis the Season

I've been slacking a little. I can't believe it has already been more than a month since my last post! Time goes so fast. Well this last week we celebrated my birthday. Thanks to everyone for the great gifts. I have to especially thank Colby for his love and support. It was kinda hard for me this year and I feel bad that he has to deal with my whining :) This time of year for some reason is really depressing for me. I hate to see just another year go by that I keep getting older and older and we still don't have a baby. And it is hard to go through the holidays and visit at all the family parties and get togethers. It's weird but it's just like another reminder that yet again another year has gone by. But Colby said it best when he said that I will only be 26 once and I can either enjoy it and make the most of it, or feel depressed and live it miserably. So I am really trying to have a better attitude about it.
I am also trying hard to be positive and stay hopeful. I know that one day we will have that blessing. I just have to keep thanking my Heavenly Father for all that we DO have and not get caught up on what we DON'T have. And most of all, I have to be thankful for Jesus Christ and his sacrifice he made for me and know that he understands better than anyone else what I am feeling and going through right now. I hope that we all can remember him this Christmas and be thankful for the blessings we have been given.
This is a way cool picture Capri made for me. She went to a class and put it all together. I am so excited to hang it up.

Roses from Colby. (Thanks Honey!) I have always told him not to waste his money on flowers, but it is still nice to get them every once in a while. :)

Cayley, I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. Family gatherings are tough. Even when family and friends are sweet and sympathetic, you know they don't understand how you feel; how could they unless they'd traveled your path?
You two should take a little trip this winter if you have the means, to try to celebrate and enjoy your current [unwanted] freedom. That is something you won't regret when your little miracle arrives! Hang in there! Happy holidays!

I don't know if you remember me from High School or not I'm susan's age, but I just wanted to write a comment and tell you how much I look up to you. we have been kind of going through the same trial and experience as you. You will never know how much your posts help me. You keep me motivated not to give up. And I totally understand what you mean about the holidays. I have come to realize much like you that no matter how hard it is that there is always one person that understands exactly what we are going through...our Savior! Good luck with everything! My thoughts and prayers are with you and I totally feel for you. You will be an incredible mother someday soon :) I just know it!
