We are here.

Check out this article.  It's quality.

"Childless, not by choice." 

It is on my Bucket List to write a book about the "advice" and actions experienced by Doug and I on behalf of well-meaning (???) friends and loved ones over the course of what we lovingly refer to as "The Mezger Family Expansion Project".  I plan to call it, "The Fertile Girl's Guide to Her Infertile Friend."  Look for it.

In other news, I've definitely hit the "I hate just about everything and will likely tell you exactly why if given ample opportunity" phase of the grief process.  According to this website, such feelings may be indicative of the second stage of the grieving process known as "anger."  Whatever.  I am the farthest thing from "angry" and I RUE any website that tries to tell me differently.

Some days are diamonds...

I am absolutely obsessed with this song right now.

I listened to my husband sing this song recently.  I've heard Doug sing countless times.  I've heard this song before.  But this time I listened.  It was incredible.

I do not know what tomorrow is going to bring.  Wherever they go, I am in their heart and they are in mine.  I will find a way to send them love in a way that does not involve hugs and kisses.  For eight beautiful months it was everything I had hoped for.  In time I will realize it still is.

And some things are over

Some things go on

And part of me you carry

Part of me is gone

Unsure of the significance.

Self explanatory.

Looking forward to supporting the Marching Monarchs!

Hoping one of these is gifted to all new residents.

Oh Healthy Day!

While sitting outside the downtown Starbucks,

"Hi.  I'm Jesse and I'm with Aspen Athletic.  Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about your current health and wellness routine?"

"Sure.  Knock yourself out.  Do you mind if I finish this double chocolate brownie first?"
