Yay for Josh!

So, a couple updates. We had a nice Superbowl weekend, despite the Cardinals losing. It was an interesting game to watch. Also, this weekend we watched a movie called Fireproof which I am sure some of you have heard of. It just came out on video and was in theaters for awhile. The acting was kind of cheesy but it was a wonderful story and these two songs were on the movie. I was definitely touched by the message. It made me grateful for my husband and our relationship. Next week we will have been married for five years. I can't believe it. It has flown by.
Speaking of Josh, today he found out that he has been selected to present at a nutrition conference in Seattle in May. He entered a poster about the research that he is doing with ASU and just heard back that he gets to go! YAY! What an awesome opportunity. I am so excited that he will be done with his bachelors in May.

Just a thought about the second song on our playlist....I have been reading so many heartwrenching stories on other peoples blogs about their babies passing away or husbands dying and it just makes me so sad. The trial that I bear has been the struggle to get pregnant. We have been trying for four years to get pregnant with no luck. Waiting has been so hard.....watching everyone around me find out they are pregnant and attending their baby showers, going to visit them in the hospital, etc. I just want it to be my turn....but when I read about women losing their babies or spouses it makes this sadness I feel seem obsolete. I can't imagine the loss of a child or my husband. I guess the point is that I am trying to remain faithful and do the things the Lord would have me do until the time comes when we are blessed to get pregnant. I know that the Lord is aware of me and that all things will be revealed sooner than I think but I also know that he doesn't expect perfection or for us to not be sad when we are experiencing a trial. I love Josh and I can't wait to start our family when the time is right. Time can heal all wounds with the Lords help.

I liked this movie too! Agreed that the acting was cheesy with a capital c. And a lot of the reactions were waaay over the top. It was a great story and a cool way to save their marriage!
