Trials

Lots of posts today...

In regards to my previous two posts about "life", I forgot to add that one of my favorite songs (Trials, by Jackopierce) sums it all up pretty well:

All the lessons I’ve learned
All the money I’ve burned
All the things that I thought were but they weren’t
All were trials that added up to her

All these lovers making compromise
Trying to make sacrifice for love
Hoping things will only get better but they don’t
Only posed to see them fall

I know
I’ve seen it before
I do believe that failed relationships, broken hearts, and just dumb mistakes are all trials that lead you to the perfect solution. You just have to have the patience to ride through them and the clarity to see them as what they are: trials. If you don't see them as trials and try to force something that isn't, you may end up falling. I am so thankful that I have yet to fall, and I hope I never do.
The last line of the song is "What I do not deserve I do not deny." I'm still not 100% sure how I read that line and what it means to me, but I know I like it.

Hey KCW,

Since you're a John Mayer fan maybe you should read these lyrics to. I believe them in your case.

I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day in summer
I changed my number
To cut my line

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be okay
Good love is on the way

3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
Done with broken people
This is me
I'm working on (all i know)

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know' I'll be okay
Good love is on the way

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and I’m
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them anymore

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely, lonely but i know
Good love is on the way
Good love is on the way, on the way, on the way

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

We did it!

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
