& 1 GOAL FOR 2013

I want to take this year to be the BEST me I can be. (Cheesy, I know!!!) I want to be....a healthy version of me today, a better friend, a better wife. It's time to focus on the most important things in my life...myself, my husband, and hopefully my little baby one day.

125 Days!!

You Gotta Have Faith

For Christmas my mom gave me a book called Thoughts That Can Change Your Life by Suze Orman. This past year has taught me a lot about myself. Most importantly it has once again reminded me of things I want to change and things I have not been focusing enough time on. At least once week I want to take a minute to visit one of these thoughts and reflect. It's time to live the BEST life!!

With faith, integrity, and courage, anything is possible.

Having faith and courage goes hand in hand. Sometimes it takes courage to have the faith needed to overcome the hard times. Especially when things have truly hit rock bottom or it seems there is no way things can get any better. When Nick and I found out that we actually had true fertility problems, and it wasn't something in my head, I felt like I had to have the courage to face this obstacle. To stand strong for my husband and fight for answers we needed in order to have a family. It took a little while for Nick to come to terms but overall the only way we made it through the last year was because we both had faith. Faith in the Lord, faith in each other, and faith that we are destined to have a family of our own.

B.A.B.Y Countdown

Well, well, well...it sure has been a while. Things have changed yet stayed the same. Nick and I have made so much progress in our journey to have a child. I am super excited that we are getting so much closer.

Financially we are at a wonderful spot. Now it's all about timing. The countdown is on...
