New Beginnings

 A lot of people start blogs for a lot of different reasons. Some start them to share their ideas, likes, and dislikes. Some blog to share what they are passionate about and to influence others. For some it is a business or a project and some start them to get inspiration and ideas from others. And maybe some just start them because it is something to do. So why am I starting a blog...? Well, because I recently have felt very prompted by the spirit to do so! I had a previous blog that I started a few years ago but deleted it soon after because I felt it was silly. I now have decided to start my blog back up due to the strong impressions I have been feeling for the past few months. I tried to ignore these impressions but they just kept coming back to me. I just recently listened to our wonderful LDS general conference and the feelings again came back to me so strongly during that time. I thought to myself, why would anyone want to hear my life story, why would anyone care...
As many of you might know, Nathan and I have been through a lot this past year and our joys and trials are only beginning. We have been struggling with infertility for the past two years and many of people have been wondering. I realize that everyone goes through hard and difficult times in life and maybe one of the reasons we go through dark times is to help lift others when they face similar situation. After asking myself why I should blog our story, I thought; what if our story could touch someone, even if that someone is me.... If my simple words and thoughts could make a small difference in even one persons life then my silly little blog is worth something.
So here we go..... I'm nervous but I'm sharing our story to help others who may be going through adversity and may need some encouragement along the way. I'm sharing our story to not only help others but to help myself from bottling up my emotions and dwelling on the hard times. This is my way of letting things go and growing from my trials. I want to look to the future and the joys that lay ahead! Here goes new beginnings and new chapters in our lives!

  1. I'm so excited to read your blog! I have also been feeling the need to write about our infertility problems over the last year and a half and you're inspiring me:) I've definitely learned (even Moreso now) what a miracle my little girl truly is and this trial has helped me learn that. I know it's a hard subject to talk about. Thank you for sharing!
