'tis the season...

It's summer, weddings after weddings, after weddings...true, but not encompassing.

I think the journey for Mike and I has started to twist, one that we didn't think would come quite this soon. BABIES! They're everywhere! Well, not really yet, but they're in the making. The first few weddings we went to, are now on to the next step. I can't mention several of these for now, until some time has passed, but we are finding more and more of our friends are expecting. Here, there, and in between. Friends old and new. Yes, a joyous celebration, but for Mike and I, we're just not there yet. We seem to be nowhere closer than what we were two years ago when we got married. Call us selfish, or cautious, but we're just not ready for that, and have no idea when. Hopefully our friends were right when they say this can truly turn on a dime, otherwise, we might be waiting for awhile.

And on another note, the season of heartache. As we have watched so many of our friends celebrate a new life, we have also seen the joy ripped out of their hands as they have lost their beloved. A few years back, Mike and I mourned with some of our friends as they miscarried. I feel as though this has become all too familiar to the friends around us. We are saddened by the sin and death that has been brought in to this world. You are not overlooked, nor forgotten. For God knows you and your hearts.

We will be praying for you all, in celebration and grieving. We love you all.
