Life is really crazy. The way it turns out. You think you have it all planned and figured out and in an instant your whole world can turn upside down and everything changes. Those changes can be good, but sometimes they are bad. At least that's how it can feel when you're going through them. When you're caught in that moment and it feels like you're living a nightmare. Rick and I have been there. We both thought we had our lives all figured out and then suddenly everything we thought we knew was wrong. And we had to figure out how to go on and live.
It's funny how things turn out. I prayed and prayed so hard so that I could have the things I always dreamed of. I thought the chance of all that was over. Little did I know that my life was just getting ready to truly begin and that my prayers were being answered, I just didn't know it yet.
Now it's been over 3 years since Rick and I met, fell in love, and created a new life together. A life where we could both be ourselves, be happy and loved, and just be. Everything just feels so right, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life any other way.

First came love--the first pic Rick and I took together in May 2008

Then came marriage-- May 1st 2009
Then came baby in the baby carriage--maternity pics Jan 2011

Of the two stages in life you described, I know only one. I hope that someday I feel the second as you do. I'm so happy for you. <3
