Originally hubby wanted to get married Sept/Oct, but since I was in grad school, I said the summer (as not to plan during 2 semesters). Come the end of May we were totally ready to be hitched, and we still had a month and a half. That was tough. <BR/>I read a great poem the other day on waiting. I'll try to post it when I get it all together shortly - still recovering from our trip. It's all about waiting and really helped me a little with what I'm currently experiencing with my waiting anxiety.<BR/>**HUGS**I Believe in Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062124038472752680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-16210262275911000662008-10-05T19:57:00.000-04:002008-10-05T19:57:00.000-04:00I saw the vest in Target when we were in GR this w...I saw the vest in Target when we were in GR this weekend.

God has something wonderful in the works for you and Ben and He will reveal it to you when He is ready. I pray that the wait will be over soon, though :) Hope you are well and I miss seeing you and talking to you in class.

I was thinking ...I hear you - I really, really do! I was thinking today that we have been technically waiting for a family since I was 25, meaning we started seeing a doctor for IF at that time. In actuality we hadn't done anything to prevent a pregnancy for three years prior to that. Now I'm 33...thirty three! How much longer to I have to wait?! How much more patience can I have?! Technically eight years, actually 11 years, and fundamentally my entire life, spent waiting for what I KNOW I was meant for. As surely as I know the sun shines, I know I was meant to be a mom, just like you. <BR/><BR/>The thing that gives me solace...and hope, is that we weren't meant to be moms to just any baby. We are still waiting because we are waiting for the right babies. I know this gets tossed around and talked about all the time, much like the cliche about absence making the heart grown fonder. I really do believe it's true though, on a deeper level than these words can describe. <BR/><BR/>There is nothing I can really even say because I know none of it can really make you feel better. Noting will feel better until you are finally a mom, until the waiting is over. I hope and pray your time is coming soon. <BR/><BR/>{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}<BR/><BR/>MelbaMelbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058896619253076094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-67610298044196585822008-10-03T22:16:00.000-04:002008-10-03T22:16:00.000-04:00I have not been waiting nearly as long as you have...I have not been waiting nearly as long as you have...but I can understand the deep, passionate, intense desire to be a mom.

And I knew it was getting close because God was working in visible, financial ways. I remember calling my Mom at one point and telling her, "I think we are going to get a baby soon." We had been worried about some bills once the baby came and I stopped working and miraculously, things started to work out. <BR/><BR/>It is SO hard. I hope your waiting is almost done.<BR/><BR/>BTW - we did the long distance thing too.
