Time For Change

Looking back over the years and all that has happened to us, we feel so blessed. There was a point where we were not sure if we could ever have a baby. Here we are a year later with this beautiful, healthy, little girl. There are so many countless blessings in our lives that we are grateful for. We know that we wouldn’t have any of those blessings if it wasn’t for our Father in Heaven. Jared and I don’t have health insurance. Not because we are cheap and don't want to pay for it, but because the bastards won't accept us. We paid all out of pocket just to get pregnant with Leila and then even more to have her. Yes, it sucks but we would do it all over again to have Leila with us. We have learned so much over the years because of the trails we’ve gone through. Jared and I have been talking about having another baby. In order to do this we want to pay off some medical bills and start saving for the baby. After a lot of thought and discussion, we decided that the best thing for us right now is to move in with Jared’s parents. We are keeping our home and renting it out for a while. I feel really humbled. We feel that this is the right thing for us. I feel it’s a small sacrifice to make to have a family. This is short term for us but a family is eternal. All of our possessions are replaceable but our family is not. I’m grateful that I have a loving and supporting husband who loves me so much and is willing to do all he can for Leila and me. I don’t know where I would be without my best friend. We are so grateful that he has such a great job and we’re blessed that he is doing so well in these times. He’s actually busier then he’s ever been! I’m grateful that I was able to have Leila and get to experience the joys of being a mom. I would give up everything I owned to have Jared and Leila in my life. I’m so grateful for a loving family who is always willing to help no matter what. So this means we are going to be moving February 20th. Sorry for the long post. Just thought we’d keep you all updated.

I agree with you, I wouldn't give Carlee up for anything. Even though it took us a long while, a lot of money, and a lot of tears getting pregnant, we're so glad we went through it too! Aren't children wonderful?

I'm sad you guys missed Andy's party we had a Leila would have had a really great time! I'll post some pics on our blog soon. But anyways, if you need any help with the move- let us know, we'd be happy to help out!

I can't believe Leila is turning 1- she is getting so big! What a cutie! :) Take Care! and hope to see you soon!

My favorite part about that post is that you talked about all the blessings from your Father in Heaven and then said "Bastards" a couple of words later! You're hillarious. I think you guys are making the right move for sure. It was really hard for us when we did the same thing, but so worth it. Just keep reminding yourself of that ;)

Hey woman! I think that is so smart and it will pay off big time in the long run for sure! I'm gonna miss you guys sooo much but like I've said before, you are so not rid of us just because you are moving!! You are such a good friend and I feel lucky to have you in my life!

I think it is such a great idea. Shawn and I always wonder how we're going to come up with the money to do IVF again. I think you're smart to do it this way. Of course you'll have no regrets if it means you get to bring another little one into the world. Good luck with everything!!!
