Thanksgiving

What a difference a year makes!
Thanksgving 2009
Thanksgiving 2010
On Thanksgiving 2009 we were so giddy to have a special baby-secret that we decided not to share w/our family until we felt the time was right. Sadly, that secret turned out to be the first of three miscarriages we endured over the past year - pure heartbreak.

Moving on to Thanksgiving 2010...standing in the same place (seriously not planned, I promise), taking another picture, and patting my ever-growing belly - pure happiness!

This Thanksgiving I truly reflected on what a difference a year makes in our lives. I quietly thought about all I was most thankful for and this year I included patience! Not the kind that you hope to gain while waiting in line at the store or at a red light. This patience is much deeper and on a spiritual level. I am thankful my sweet Saviour chose Scott and I to embark on such a journey. It was not an easy or pleasant one, but to get us to the place we are now, I wouldn't trade
our journey for anything!
We are thankful and so blessed!
