letting it all hang out

In need of another new hobby that I may or may not stick with, and after some time of creeping on other people's blogs, this morning I decided to take the plunge and give it a whirl for myself.  I don't quite know what direction my blog will take.  I'm hoping to not to have too many pity parties.  I'm hoping to work through some emotions.  I'm hoping to have fun and just enjoy life for a while.  That's the plan.

As I have learned though, things don't always go according to plan.  If my plan had worked, I'd be a stay at home mommy with few little ones by now.  But my plan failed.  My plan and God's plan clearly are not one in the same.

I have been with my husband for over 11 years (we met at the end of my senior year of high school).  This December we'll celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.  And January will mark the start of our 3rd year trying to become a mommy and daddy.  (insert a big heavy sigh here)

We never imagined having a problem getting pregnant.  Never in a million years.  But infertility is a bitter pill that we were both blind-sided into swallowing.  I suppose that is a good place to begin our story, as we desperately try to journey From Here To Maternity.
