It is hard to believe, but one year ago this week, we were finding out that our first IVF had failed.
It seems so long ago.
So much has happened since then. We have changed, grown and learned so much. We are not the same couple that we were a year ago. We are stronger, closer and more prepared than ever to be parents.
In the past year, we have had over 20 friends get pregnant or have a baby. Whether it be a surprise pregnancy, a planned pregnancy, a pregnancy resulting from fertility treatments, or an adoption- all of these people have been blessed with a child. There are no words to express the joy that I have for each of these friends. Their precious miracles have touched our hearts and our lives. We are so blessed to be a part of their new families.
Yet still we wait on our blessing.
Some days I wonder if it will ever happen for us. Some days I think it never will.
And yet, I have to trust that no matter where this road takes us or how long it is, some day we will be parents.
I just wish I knew how. I wish I knew when.

Dear Jenni ~ I know how hard it is to be waiting. Just know that I am praying for you in the midst of the waiting and the unknown...and asking the Lord to bless you with peace as you wait on Him. He is ABLE to do more than we can even imagine and I'm believing that for you!!! Much love, Courtney
Praying for you!
We are praying, too, and loving you more each day if that is possible.
Oh, Jenn. My heart hurts with you. And I too long for the day when your arms will be filled. I beg the Lord that it is sooner than any of us can expect.
I will not stop praying and believing!
I love you.
We are praying!
Last night at church several people shared their stories. Though none were like your story it still made me think of you and Rusty. Afterwards they sang "Praise You In This Storm" Totally the song of your life! You have stood strong though the world around you has been shaken. You always seem to pull through. You are such a faithful servant. I know God will bless you in His own time. Until then keep praying and keep your head held high. You are such an amazing woman and so comforting to others.
Love Ya chica
