2011

2011 will forever taste bittersweet to Aaron and I.  We accomplished so much, were blessed with so much, and lost so much all in such a short time.  We are happy to move past 2011, and hope for a better fate in 2012, but are saddened to walk further and further away for the time that we did have with our sweet children, Savannah and Charlie. 
With 2012 comes new hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals.  We are looking forward to another journey, and are so incredibly thankful for our wonderful friends and family who have treated us so amazingly well through this last year.  We have been blessed so richly in that department.  We have chosen our friends wisely, but my family, well, that was just pure luck to have been born into such a loving, generous, and kind place.
We have been interviewing attorneys, for both Aaron and I, and for Lady L and her family.  We have been looking into taking a life insurance policy out on Lady L, but I guess we aren't actually able to do that until after she becomes pregnant.  Of course we are doing the best we can to set aside some money, as this is going to be another HUGE investment for us, but we know all will be worth it one sweet day.  In just over a week, the 4 of us will go to the Mayo Clinic for our "Surrogacy Consultation" in the morning, followed by some blood tests for communicable diseases, and we should end our day with our psych evaluations.  Please keep us in your prayers that all goes well with this.  It seems a bit silly to type this, as I am still not ready to share this blog with anybody yet.  Maybe somehow you will get the vibe that we need a few extra prayers, and will toss a few our way, lol.  I was hoping that by now I would feel ready to share this, but I guess I have become a little guarded about this.  I hope that it passes soon, so that you can all join in our excitement.
