Whoops...

I feel first that I should clear something up. About a month ago, I posted something about babies. not only was it not exactly what I was feeling, it was very vague and maybe misleading.

Of course I'm thankful for babies! I don't need any reminding of that. But during this troubling time of trying to make our own babies, it's difficult to remember the fun of the process. I have a hard time feeling empowered by knowing my body, and treasuring the short time that it's just the two of us. Once I get pregnant, those days are numbered! But I certainly don't need to remember to be thankful for babies; just the process leading up to the baby!

Also, have no fear: nothing happened. As I've mentioned to a few people already, it's a cruel, cruel trick of nature to find out you're not pregnant during what is already such an emotional period (no pun intended...) of life. How is any woman supposed to handle that with a level head?!

I have since come to my level-headed senses, and am trying to enjoy everyday without thinking about babies so much. I really should cherish this time that it's just me and DH, well-rested with a bit of free time. It could all go away soon...

Anyway, today I'm thankful for something totally unrelated.

Many years ago when I was young and foolish, I made a new friend at church. I had no idea how much this boy would impact my life at the time, and not in the way you're thinking. While I never dated him, he was a good friend through everything, and we shared many memories together. This friend is Kevin Cracknell.

Kevin is someone I've always known I can rely on. As life has taken us in different directions, I often find myself thinking back to how much fun we had, how I could talk to him about anything, and how he was there for me through everything. So while we may not talk as often as we should anymore (or ever...), I want him to know he still holds a special place in my heart.

Kevin literally changed my life the day he introduced me to DH, and while I certainly never say it enough (how do you thank someone for that?!), I'm truly blessed to know Kevin!
