Since my last post I have had acupuncture treatments two more times. No real "news" there; the treatments have all been extremely similar. Overall, I continue to feel very relaxed, positive and still full of hope. Thursday is the day we go to see if my lining has improved! Pray. Pray. Pray!
Also, I wanted to give a little update on my friend whom I talked about in my last post. She had her egg retrieval today and everything went great! 19 eggs! Continued prayers that the rest of the IVF process goes just as well.
As school (work) is about to start back up I have spent as much time as possible trying to do crafts and decorate the house. My big goal this summer was to make curtains for our room, which I haven't even started, HOWEVER, I did get a chance to paint and redo our entire guest bathroom! Pinterest inspired and all.... I love it!! And I decided to use Photoshop to put up a new bible verse in our kitchen. Every month or two I frame a bible verse in the kitchen so that everyday when I am making John's lunch, cooking, cleaning or what-have-you, I can read the verse and be reminded of God's word. Here is the latest.... it explains my feelings exactly. Everything is in God's hands and I cannot have fear. He has chosen us to go through this journey; He has provided strength, dignity, and laughs to get us through it all. And we can handle it!
To continue with this journey of hope, I met with a co-worker today to help her out with some technology questions she had and she appeared with the most heartfelt and special gift. She had a friend make me this necklace that says "Hope" on one side and a pink heart on the other side. The pink heart she has placed on each of the necklaces that she has had made. It is such a special gift and it made my heart smile in so many ways. How lucky am we to have such remarkable people in our lives? Your support and love and prayers and messages and cards mean the world to us and we can only hope that someday we can return the gratitude you have shared with us.
