I Believe in Miracles

My awesome sister is hosting a fundraiser/yard sale at her restaurant on May 21st so we can raise money for a private adoption. It's nice when the clouds part sometimes and hope shines through! If we can find a way, our wait time would be less than a year!

I am missing my grandma terribly this week, and I can't help but picture her rallying the troops up in heaven to get down to business and bring her granddaughter a miracle! Her funeral helped me remember the person she was before the dementia, a person I've been missing for a long time.

My mom just sent me this picture of me and my cute hubby on Christmas Eve. I'm hoping that there will be a third member of our little family by next Christmas.

Saying Goodbye

Last night I said goodbye to my grandma. When I had to go to the sitters, I would cry because I'd rather be with Grandma. I'm crying again tonight because I'd rather be with Grandma. Grandma was always smiling. Yesterday I could tell she still knew me. I'm glad I got to see her smiling at me on her last day on earth. I hope I can emulate her conviction and tenacity. I love you Grandma, and I will always miss you and remember you. I am happy for you that you are finally released from your earthly limitations. Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for being my grandma.

Debbie Downer Strikes Again

Oh my goodness! Yesterday was a bad day! Sometimes the sorrow of infertility comes back to bite you like a sucker punch to the face! My dear coworkers are so supportive, and knew I was having a bad day. We went out to lunch, and they helped me think of some happy things in my life. My friend Christina (who knows what it's like to be down) loaned me a little sign to put on my desk and I know it's true. "When you see only dark, know the light will soon return." The treadmill is my friend, and I was planning on walking on it when I got home from work yesterday, but I was so exhausted from my grumpiness, I took a nap which really helped. My dear husband even watched a chick flick with me after my nap, and didn't complain when I gave all my attention to a book my aunt loaned me instead of to him. I feel a lot better today. It's great to have the love of family and friends. Hope I can return the favor when they are feeling down!

Having fun with Uncle Tyson

We love it when our nephew comes over to play, and he especially loves his Uncle Tyson.

Look how cool my brother is!

Thanks to my brother Steve for designing the logo for our team at the MS Walk: Team Tysdog! Tyson chose his favorite, and we ordered stickers for everyone to wear at the walk. Which design did he choose? You'll just have to come join us at the MS walk and find out!! Thanks again Steve! You rock!
