We are going to have a happy holiday!


It started on Halloween with all of those cute pictures of everyone's children in costumes. I wasn't expecting Halloween to make me sad, it completely caught me off guard. Seeing those pictures made me immediately think about how I don't have a child to dress up and post pictures of. I shrugged it off and moved on because November was busy, and I was able to stay distracted. Things have quieted down, and Thanksgiving is here with Christmas soon to follow.
It is so easy to focus on the negative things. To think about how there is no extra stocking this year or "baby's first Christmas" ornaments. In an attempt to think about the positive instead, I think back to last year. At least we won't be sneaking away to give me those horrible injections while visiting family, and we won't be faced with a negative pregnancy test on Christmas Day again this year. Except, those things aren't exactly positive either.
Instead we have decided to focus on what we have now, and what matters. We are extremely blessed and we get to spend time with both families this year! That is definitely a positive. We are going to make the most of our circumstances and enjoy this holiday season as a couple. We are choosing to be happy now while we wait for what we want rather than insisting that we can't be happy until we get it.
We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support. We know it is through your prayers that we are able to find peace while we wait to meet the baby God has for us. 
We look forward to seeing all of your holiday family pictures! Here is ours. 
Hopefully there will be a little one in our picture next year!


Merry Christmas!
