In the Hands of God

          It has been a rough road for me and Joey.  We started trying to get pregnant as soon as we were married, which legally was September 23, 2011.  We found out we were pregnant the night before our wedding ceremony in December and miscarried only a couple of days later.  It was an extremely difficult loss for us as we never thought it would happen to us.  The doctor reassured us that it is very common to miscarry a first pregnancy so we continued trying.  A year later we found out we were once again pregnant. Looking back, Joey and I remember saying that we trusted in God no matter what, but I don't think we really did.  We didn't expect to lose another so when that happened at 9 weeks we didn't handle it well behind closed doors.  I think we handled it better than someone without God, but if we had just trusted God throughout everything then we would have given that pain directly to him and been able to move forwards a lot faster.  The second loss really was the most difficult one.  Not only emotionally, but also physically.  But God has a plan.  Those losses have connected me with other women and given me an experience very few can understand.  I'm happy to be able to help others work through their grief of miscarriage.  

          ALL that being said.... WE ARE PREGNANT AGAIN!!  And this time it just feels different.  I'm not scared.  Joey's not scared.  No matter what happens we are trusting in God to lead the way.  Yes, it is very possible we could lose another baby.  But, if that happens then we have the support system we need and the leader of that support system is God.  I haven't gone to a doctor yet, but I'm around 4-5 weeks. VERY early.  We normally would wait to announce, but we figure this time we want our friends and family to walk this road with us every step of the way.  We would appreciate prayer as well!! 

          And, yes... Joey has only been home for a couple of weeks.  I am still measured at about 4-5 weeks though.  I won't go into the details in case guys are reading this, but it is not measured from conception date. Many of you ladies should know this so I won't explain anymore. We have been asked this question a lot surprisingly. haha

          We are extremely excited!  The only thing I have to be nervous about is moving either while pregnant or with a newborn since we have no clue when we will be leaving here.  But, even then I am not all that nervous.  Giving the worry to God and actually enjoying being pregnant right now!

 

BFFAEAEAE....... (Best Friends Forever And Ever And Ever And Ever.........)

           As most people probably realize I have a good handful of best friends.  I share different bonds with all of them and they all mean the absolute world to me!  One of my best friends is Shadis.  He's been part of my life since my sophomore year in high school.  We dated for like... 2 weeks. so it doesn't count haha but since then we've always had a special bond.  He's one of the only guy friends I have that has actually seen me cry.  I rarely let my friends see that side of me, but he's just someone I feel safe around and I know I can trust.  Sometimes he drives me absolutely crazy. But I love him and I always will.  He's always there for me and I'll always be there for him. 

          

          

           That being said.  He's one of the coolest guys EVER!  He spins poi and works with other props and is just absolutely remarkable.  Seeing him go from spinning glow sticks tied to shoes strings to now spinning fire poi is just one of the most awesome things ever.  Such a talented dude and I could not be more proud.  He's come such a long way and overcome so many obstacles. 

          

          PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go watch, like, and share his video to show support for him.  This would be such a cool opportunity for him to experience!!
