"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

I was and now I'm not.......update attached 9/19

For those of you who don't know... I'm sorry to get you all excited.
I was pregnant, but I'm not anymore. I had a miscarriage on Wednesday.
Nick and I are O.K... Don't worry. We know that it happened for a reason and we will just try again. Thank you for all your support. We love you guys. I'll let you know when I have good news again..

FRIDAY 9/19= i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your love really its nice to have such great friends around you all the time...i want everyone to know that i really am ok, strangely its been really easy...sad but easy, nick and i know it will happen when its time, and we will always keep tying over and over until it does. i kinda feel like I'm a bad person or without a heart because it has been easy on us, i know its really hard on a lot of people and some of my family members are taking it worse then us but truly we just cant wait for the 6 weeks to be up so we can try again, so really to those of you who think we r not ok...TRUST ME...we are!!! I don't want to sound like I'm totally not sad because I AM but i think heavenly father just gave us the strength to over come this and we KNOW with out a doubt we will still get the chance to raise that baby on the other side!!

*add on update*.....
we went to the docs again today (Friday) and he let us know that everything was fine ( not pregnant but fine) and safe to start trying in 6 to 8 weeks, also he said that if i weren't pregnant in 6 months he would put me on clomide to help the process then i said "6 months we have already been trying over a year" then laughing he said "ok i will make it 4 just for you" so maybe i could get him down to "two" or "three would be fine too!", which was great news to us cause the other two doctors wouldn't let me on anything until they do tonz of test on nick and my self to make sure everything is working proper but that takes lots of time and lots of moola which we don't have either of so this doctor said no need to wait since we already have been trying SO long and he knew i could already get pregnant, so that was really uplifting and so nice to Finely hear that we indeed could get the help if we need it without spending needless amounts of money on it!!!! (don't get me wrong i would pay the money without a thought but why not try the cheapest way first!)
again, thank you for you support and thoughts they mean a lot to us, we love all our friends and family we wouldn't be so strong with out you!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
