Life!


I just wanted to express my feelings today about things that have been going on in Drew and I's life! And you'll have to understand that I am human and I make mistakes, but this one ended up stabbing me in the back like so many others. I won't go into details, but I just wanted to apologize to all those who were involved and maybe help someone out there that might being going through something similar or help prevent things like this from happening.

My first mistake in all this and everyone does it, or maybe it is just me, but I talked about someone behind their back, and I shouldn't have and I regret it, but I have learned a huge lesson from it. You never know what the future might bring, who might be in your life at certain times, and most importantly who you might hurt, embarrass, or offend. I have learned and I am still learning to talk to the person directly if you have any kind of problem with them. Good or Bad! It is always better that way!

Second I learned that I need to trust more easily. In my life I have had many people very important to me betray my trust and I have betrayed others trust. And I am sorry if I have and I hope all can forgive me. But I have learned that it is so much easier to trust someone then get angry, jealous, or offended. One person that I should trust the most is my husband, and I am trying harder and harder everyday! But the most important is to trust in the Lord, I look at it this way, if we can learn to trust our neighbors and ourselves, it will be easier to trust in the Lord.

And that brings me to my last lesson, and I am sorry if this gets to religious but I need to say it. If you know me I am a person that likes to have control over almost every situation I am in. I think that is why not getting pregnant has been so hard on me. I will expand on that later. But if I rely and trust in the Lord I know that life is more enjoyable, peaceful, and happy! Also life will run a lot smoother, even if times are hard, the Lord is there to guide and direct you! I know that if we pray daily and throughout the day we will be guided, if we read our scriptures it will be easier for us to understand the Lord and why we are here. I also know that if we attend the Temple often we will have better relationship with our Lord and Savior and also with those we love. I see the miracles of attending the Temple every time I go. And last but not least I know that if we follow the Prophets council our lives will be lead in the way they need to be. I hope we can all take something from this, and again I apologize from the bottom of my heart to those I have offended and hurt. I hope our friendships can stay the same and that we can learn from this and move on.


OK, So Drew and I have been trying to get pregnant for that last year! You'll have to understand that I have been baby hungry since I was 12. I have always been a worrier and when it comes to getting pregnant I think I worry the most. I have been tested and we are planning on doing some other tests. We have tried numerous things that we can afford) to help us out but nothing seems to work. And it kills me inside every time we test and it is negative. But if you know me I hide my feelings well, most of the time. Every time I talk to anyone about it they don't think its that big of a deal or they don't seem to care. I know we have only been trying for a year, but it has felt like a life time.

But, to let you know, I have learned numerous lessons from all of this. Patience being the big one! I am not a patient person, just ask my husband, but I have learned that the Lord has a big hand in this and he will bless us when he see's we are ready and prepared, even if we are not ready, I mean who really is ready? Also, this whole blogging thing has opened my eye's. I have found a number of blogs with stories so much bigger of deal then mine. Whenever I think about our situation, I remember that some have it a lot harder then we do. I am so grateful for all the Great examples I have to help me to be more humble and patient! I am also grateful for our neighbors who have a baby and for letting us be a part of her life! It has been like therapy for me to watch her and see her grow. I know that the Lord will bless us in one way or another when the time is right for us! I hope this post can help someone out and I am so grateful for a husband who supports me and is there for me and for this time that we have together to learn. I am so grateful for my membership in the church to help guide and direct me in my life. I hope everyone is doing well and keep on truckin!

Sarah,
Just want you to know that I understand the frustration of not getting pregnant. It took us 6 monthes and I nearly went crazy. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. And hey... remember that time we went cow-tipping? I may have to have you guest-post on my blog for that one :) Love you
Kristen

Aw hon, I am so sorry...I am constantly scared of having children, and then I worry that I won't be able to and that scares me more. I know I can't understand how you're feeling -- only you know how you're feeling and that's a lonely place to be. I know this sounds lame, but I've met a lot of my friends in San Diego from the Internet -- and the message board we talk on also has a trying to concieve board. My friend says she's gotten a lot of support from it, from people going through the same thing. I love you! I love your new blog header by the way -- you two look so happy and cute!

Sarah,
Life is hard sometimes, the Savior loves you and you can make it through. I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time getting pregnant. My brother and his wife have gone through it and it was very hard for them. With the Lord's help they decided to adopt and now have two beautiful kids and are so happy. So, you never know what the Lord has in store but he loves you and will bless you.

Ashley said...

Sarah you are amazing for having faith! It is something I've been learning a lot about lately and it can be hard to have sometimes. But think about after you receive what you had faith in, and you'll be so grateful you had faith. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, we are glad to have a baby for you to play with! Makaili loves you guys so much. She thinks you are her parents too. I'm mommy a you're mommy b. Drew is Daddy Z, don't ask me what that is all about. Makaili just thought it sounded sweet. Dixie is Miss Fish. Okay, you get the point. You are loved so much and we love hanging out with you guys. You keep us sane.

Hey Sarah, I feel your pain. We've been trying for over a year and I'm way older than you! I think I have way more health issues, maybe I don't know all of your situation. I've had surgery twice for edometriosis...blah, blah, blah. I'm sure you don't want to hear my sad story. Just hang in there. I'm sure it will work out. I also take a really powerful medication for my migraines that I get everyday, that I will have to stop taking once I get pregant, otherwise I would be poping the chlomid like nobody's business. Sorry if this is too much info for everyone. P.S. It takes a big person to admit and apologize for their mistakes so kudos for that.

Best of luck with starting your family!
