I have so many amazing things happening in my life even if getting a BFP hasn't been one yet. I decided to make a list so when I am having the worst day I have something to read and remember what I do have to be happy about:
1. My husband - David has to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. We met almost 7 years ago and I don't remember how I was without him. We met online and I was so sure he was going to be a dud. When he asked to call me I was sure he would have a squeaky voice and I just didn't want to waste my time. I had lost my mom to breast cancer only 6 months before I met him and I was just in a place where maybe I was better off alone for awhile. When he called it was like it all clicked. His voice was deep and he was so intelligent. Our first date was to a Bodies Exhibit and then to dinner. We ended up closing the restaurant down and were asked to leave. It is amazing how life can change so fast. Ever since the day we met my life has felt complete.
2. My amazing family - I have a great family. As I mentioned in #1 I lost my mom to breast cancer at the age of 49. She fought for over 10 years and it was only the last 6 months she ever looked sick. I took care of her during her last months and the amount of love I saw in her eyes and in my family's still brings tears to my eyes. I have one sister and she is pretty awesome too. She also has the same BRCA II gene my mom had (I don't have it). At the age of 30 (on her birthday), she elected to have a double mastectomy so she would lower her risk of breast cancer. She didn't even have cancer but the thought of waiting on it was too much. She was so strong during it all. She did it for her babies (my niece and nephew) and her other family. She didn't want to leave her kids too soon like my mom had to. I also have an aunt who has stepped up the plate and become a pseudo mom and grandma. She took me to my D&C last year and made sure I was okay afterwards. She laughs with us, cries with us and helps us preserve the memories we have. My cousins, Adam and Jesi, are like my siblings. We grew up together and I could never be more proud of them. My dad is great and loves us more than I can imagine. My brother, who is blind, is heading off to college next year. I mean come on! I am so lucky!!!
3. My friends - I have a great support system for every part of my life. I have friends who I have known since I was 8 and some I met last year. I know if I am having a bad day I can go to them if needed. Facebook has helped me reconnect with so many people and I love to see how everyone ended up. It shows we were raised right. All through my life my mom has said that I keep a small group and I am loyal to no end. I agree with her but I wouldn't have it any other way.
4. A home to stay warm in
5. Money to buy food and other necessities
6. A job where I am accepted and loved
