On A Saturday Morning

As I sit here comfy in my bed next to my little Miss K I can't imagine a better way to start out my weekend. She reminds me if how innocent she is, how she doesn't care about anything in the world other than sharing her cinnamon toast crunch with our Boston Terrier.

This is our weekend tradition - dry cereal, cartoons, and snuggles.

Getting divorced has brought perspective to certain things. Things almost seem more difficult now than when we were a family of three.  I could just deal with the issues and take care of K. But when other obstacles come in the way,  there really isn't another choice.

There are so many days that I'm lonely and miss having a partner to help me out. I miss having true adult conversations and not just about daycare or what Christmas gifts K needs.

I truly get that life is complicated but it's only ad complicated as you allow it.  I may not truly believe that you have complete control over your destiny,  but you do have control over some of your happiness.

I have this fantastic chalk board with a barnwood frame in my kitchen.  I make it a goal to write a new quote or inspiring words each day. It's something small but lifts my spirits to acknowledge that life will get better eventually.... It just takes time. So, my quote,  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME."

Stay strong and enjoy the view!

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t...

God only gives you what you can handle

Where do I begin. This summer has been the best of any summer I can remember, besides the summer going into my senior year at Concordia. That was an epic summer I'll never forget. But this summer, was one for the books, in so many ways. For one, this was the first time I have had a break from school in 365 days. I took every opportunity and enjoyed my days off, not online submitting papers or reading a text book. Summer school ended at the end of June, and I pulled off 2 B's and an A.  I've always said that you meet people in your life for a reason, and I truly believe that. Over the last year I have met countless people. At different times I have questioned their motivation, but I also have embraced the opportunity to find out what their purpose is to me. Whether people stay in your life or leave, there is always a lesson learned. And then, there are those moments when you meet people and you know right away, that they will have an impact on your life, and in a goo...

Breakable

 If you've followed this blog since it's inception, you know that music, and music lyrics speak to my soul. I think I have had three playlists on repeat the last few weeks. I know is has almost been an entire year since my post on here, but I've also switched gears and started a new blog Behind These Blue Eyes , where I discuss my Long Covid diagnosis, treatments I've tried, and the road to recovery....or at least finding my new normal. Other than the year I got  divorced, this last year has been the most difficult I've ever experienced. From jobs, to relationships, to life, and to health. I really thought the whole dating thing was over for me. I had accepted my independence, the freedom to make choices for me and me alone, and with how unenergetic I had been feeling, how did I really have time anyway for a relationship. Things happen when you least expect them....and I fell fast. Faster than I had ever before. It was too good to be true. I kept telling myself that...
