and life goes on...

this week i have been enjoying the sunshine in Arizona with em and eden. i love them both so much! we have had such fun at the zoo, shopping, playing at the park, taking pictures by waterfalls, and enjoying the easter pageant at the Mesa temple. but amid all of the fun and games there has been some sadness. once again, the insemination did not work this month and our hopes for a family are pushed back again. it's like a horrible nightmare playing over and over in my head. someday i'll wake up from it though and we'll be able to start a family. it's so hard to try not to get my hopes up, but subconsciously i do and then it's a steep drop down when i find out i'm not pregnant. i'm glad i found out while i was down here though. emilie has been a huge support for me, even though i don't say much. she has always been a rock for me whenever i have needed her. i do love her dearly. it's been hard to be away from jon during this time, but i feel closer to him now than ever before. i am so blessed to have him in my life and know i have taken him for granted at times. i so appreciate all he does for me and the life that we have together. i love that i get to love him!

anyway, i've been snapping away like mad with my camera and have a bazillion shots of eden, i just haven't had a chance to sort through them all yet to post some fun ones. i'll try to soon.

have a great weekend! :)

OH Aly I hate that this is happening to you and we'll put you in our prayers. How often do you try this procedure?

That's so fun you got to take a break and go and see Emily and Eden. I'm so excited to see pictures of her because she was so small when I last saw her.

I can't imagine, just know that I think it sucks that this has to be a trial in your life. I'm glad you have Emilie. I love your family! I don't think I've ever seen pics of Eden, so post 'em sooooon! :)

I look forward to your pictures of Eden...I love that name.

Aly,

I'm so sorry as well to hear that the procedure didn't work again. I know that you and Jon will make great parents and like Heather said it will happen some day on the Lord's time. I want you to know that you are always in my thoughts even if I don't stay in contact that well.

Are you still in Arizona? I'm glad you are having an enjoyable time. My last day of work is May 15 so I'm all about vacations this summer so maybe we can get together.

Love ya!
