Best Laid Plans

When I was young I thought I knew how my life would turn out and made all sorts of plans. While I have had a great life so far, some things have not turned out the way I thought. Knowing that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and a timeline of that plan has made dealing with our problems much easier. That isn't to say that I haven't had my share of days when I complain about how unfair life is, but I am trying to deal with it better now. Matt and I have been trying for over a year and a half to have a baby. We haven't been successful and have been told that there really isn't a clear cut answer to why. It is extremely stressful and hard when it seems like everyone around us can get pregnant so easily. We do have several friends that can empathize with our situation and we appreciate their support. Our family has also been wonderful in offering their prayers on our behalf. In writing this I am trying to do a little therapy for me, but also let you know about this huge part of our life as this is a regular question we hear, "So, when are you going to have kids?"(as I try not to break down in tears). General Conference this year was wonderful in that there were some talks that reminded us about trials in our life and how we should handle them. I am really trying to take it all in and not focus so much on my trials, but my blessings. We are super blessed and have much to be grateful for! I know our time will come and when it does I am certain that we will appreciate being parents that much more!
