Above all, God has blessed me through every fall, every struggle. 

Last year, due to my now husband previous marriage, we were not able to marry through the church (in Catholic) so we had a nice ceremony. Well this year, we were able to get married through the church two days before Daniel (my husband) was sent on a random deployment. Little did I know, that was going to be the last pictures I would take with my daddy. 

Our wedding was on a Friday, Daniel left on that Sunday, and my dad was admitted to the hospital that following Tuesday. Three weeks later my dad died. It was the most difficult thing I have lived through. Daniel was gone for 4 months which felt like an eternity. As I was flooded with so many different emotions, we decided to start trying for a baby. It didn't take long.. Thankfully, I got pregnant two months after he returned. But I lost the baby after 6 weeks. I was crushed. My heart was so sad and broken. 

But with all of this, we still have hope and faith in God that next year will be our year to conceive and become parents. 

For all of us that are still not able to have a successful pregnancy and delivery, let's not lose hope! Let's be faithful. God has his plan. Our time is not his time. We have learned to be patient and to trust his will. 

We are ready for the new year. Waiting one full cycle before trying again. Cannot wait to post "we're expecting"!!! Happy Holidays!!
