My Last Day Alone. They're Almost Home

Mike & Hannah are driving home from Pittsburgh today. They left around 9am. They might be home for dinner. I know they had a great time, and I think it also did me a world of good to get some much-needed time to myself.



I've been having fun with my crafts and scrapbook projects, and Ive also dome some shopping for myself and gotten some cleaning & organizing done around the house. Plus Ive spent some quailty time with Esther, outside of church. I offered to watch her 2 boys on Monday so that she could have some kid-free time... and as a thank-you, she brought us burritos from Taco Bell for lunch, and a dozen pink tulips for me! It was such a nice surprise! The flowers smell so good, and they look very pretty on my nice clean kitchen counter.



Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my first miscarriage. I was pretty emotional last night. It is still very painful and sad, but I think that I am beginning to find some closure, and peace. This week, I have been working on a special scrapbook in memory of my three angel babies.


I think now Im going to sit outside on the swing in the front yard, eat something for lunch, and read a book. Spring is a beautiful time of year, I've got to enjoy it while I can.

I'm going to tell you the same thing I just told Jessica on her blog: I am so glad you started this blog as a way to pour out your thoughts as your make your way through the crazy world of TTCAM. Starting my blog last July has probably helped to save my sanity. Well...that and you ladies at TTCAM!

I look forward to reading more about your journey on your blog in the future!

May I add you to my blogroll?

Hey Nicole!

I think that scrapbooking is an amazing way to remember your angels. I've always wanted to get into scrapbooking, but never really found the time to.. I always seem to be very busy and I have a hard time with the whole patience issue.

That was so nice of your friend to bring you flowers, and mmmm burritos. I hope that you are having a great day!
