I am still waiting for my next cycle to start and I know that it inevitably will.  I hate that the last week I felt every symptom I thought was going to end with a positive test only to be fooled again.  It is hard to stay positive every month but I know that one day, my time will come again.  I may get "lapped" as people get pregnant, show off cute bumps,  and have babies and I am still waiting to start the race, but I just have to keep reminding myself that my turn will come.  I also remind myself that if God gave me everything I ever asked for as soon as I asked for it, I would have a lot of things, but none would be as special as my precious husband and adorable children. 

I think Joey could tell that I was having a tough day.  I was laying on the floor watching some of the 9/11 remembrance stuff and he crawled up to me, climbed on top of me, all just so he could rest his head on my chest.  It was a perfect reminder to be thankful for what God has blessed me with.


So, with that in mind, I took a hike to admire all of the beautiful things God has blessed us with.  That, and to get some more practice with my new camera.  These are some of the things I saw today.









Even though we are not yet adding to our family, how can I not feel blessed to be surrounded with so many beautiful creations of God?  On to the next cycle for me.
