Being Thankful......

Last week was Thanksgiving.... I had a much needed long weekend.... I spent some time at home alone, relaxing (my hubby was deer hunting part of the weekend) and I tried to reflect on the 'good' and not the 'bad' in our lives....

I am first of all thankful for my husband.... He is supportive, loving and most of all my best friend.... We have been through a lot together in the past 9 yrs of being together and 4 yrs of being married.... We get through it but, sometimes we have some bumps along the way.... He has been my rock through this whole TTC ordeal.... He has been there to hold me when I cry or listens when I am angry because we did not succeed in getting pregnant again! He has given me shot after shot and still 'grieved' with me when the IVF's have failed..... He is my everything....

I am thankful for the rest of my family (both near and far) and even for those who aren't with us anymore for being a part of my life....

I am thankful for my friends.... My longtime friends that have been through thick and thin with me and my BBC girls who 'listen' to all my hopeful expectations and comfort me when I fall..... Sometimes I don't know where I would be with out this group of ladies......

And, in this economic time I am also thankful for my job.... I have a good job that I enjoy!

As much as I am thankful for all that I have..... I want more.... I want to be a 'Mommy' to more than my cats (although I love them like they are my children!).... I just feel like I have more love to share......

Tom and I decided to wait until January to start the next steps in our process.... I love the holidays.... But, this year I am anxious to get the holidays over with so Tom & I can start on our new journey to hopefully find a child that will one day be ours!
