Spring?

Well if you live in Utah County, you know how bless we've been these past three days. We have had absolutely gorgeous, warm days. I am an optimist in thinking that the warm weather is here to stay... I'll keep that as my opinion until Mother Nature forces me to change it :)

As each month passes in our second year of marriage, I always take pause and think back to what we were doing last year. I know this is a luxury, because once the years begin to add on to one another, this may not be as easy to do. Last March I started my job at the Olive Garden. I have loved my time there, truly enjoying the work I do as well as adoring my co-workers. But my decision to go back to waiting tables was an answer to a much bigger problem we had to work through. Last March Sam and I decided to begin our cause to start a family. Sam suggested I only needed to work part time, yet we needed to find good insurance to cover the cost of having a baby. The perfect answer was the OG. But, the other obvious fact in this equation is that it has been a year, and I'm still not pregnant. I have no shame in writing this as a part of our blog, because it is a part of our history, and has been a trial we have learned to deal/work through. I've grown a lot in learning to cope with the emotions associated with this problem, but what its really boiled down to for me is that I completely trust my Heavenly Father in his timing for our family. No that doesn't make every bad day better, but it helps. Sam has been wonderful at balancing my fears and emotions with strength and calm. I guess that's all I'll write on this topic for now, but as we enter our second year I know that we are about to enter into a new stage of hardships- trying to diagnose what is wrong, that is, if anything is wrong at all.

As for other news, Sam and I are moving in two weeks, so we are about to start another journey in that as well. We'll be much closer to two of Sam's sisters families as well as his brother's family too. Although it will make for a longer commute to work, we're excited (or at least I am) to see what its like to live away from the 'bubble' of Provo/Orem.
