My Wish List...

So most of you know that Jeremy and I have been married for 8years. That we have been trying for 6 years to start a family. That so far in the last 6 years we haven't been so lucky, especially when you look at Jason & Tawnie, Jared & Aspen, Jacob & Mindy and Landon & Cristy. They have all been lucky to start their family early and end up having beautiful children. However I wonder when will it be our turn? Yes I know we call our dogs our children and yes they are kids who fight who love and who are just crazy at times, but its not the same.

When will I get to join the mommy club? Why do Jeremy and I have to wait this long? There are so many questions that go through my mind and the funny thing is is there are more people out there having the same issues as Jeremy and I are.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy being ask to watch my nieces and nephews, to hang out with them to have crazy sleep overs, etc but sometimes I wonder if these special times will be the closest we will get to having our own children.

Have any of you read, listened or watched The Secret, although I haven't I have been given some good suggestions from Mindy & Windy and so I am taking them up on their suggestions.
  • One although its hard I try not to think of the negative of our situation.
  • Two I am seeing a new Fertility doctor and things tend to be looking more on the positive side.
  • Three I was at Roberts and they had their 8X8 Magnet boards on sale for $5.00 a piece, so I decided to buy three. Why three you might ask, well one for the J L South Family, one for Abigail (when we have a little girl) and one for Jack (when we have a little boy).
I decided I needed to think in the present and future so this is what I did. This last weekend I painted our family wish, hope, etc board. I painted it red like our kitchen. I now have to find lettering and paint them black and we will have our wish board.
In the mean time I found things to represent our wishes THAT WILL COME TRUE someday. I made a little page that I can look at at work and so I decided to blog what things are on our wish board.

When we have our children, Jeremy and I plan on naming our little boy Jack and our little girl Abigail - so no one better get any ideas! Just Kidding.
However it would be cool to have twins, then we would have our two and be done with it.
Finally here is my car that I may be getting this month (September) beside we will need a new car once our children arrive so might as well get it now before we become completely poor.
I just want to thank you for all of the love and support everyone has given Jeremy and I. We are so lucky to have everyone that is close to us in our lives. Thank you Jason & Tawnie, Jared & Aspen, Jacob & mindy, Landon & Cristy, for being able to have beautiful children that I can try and entertain as well for them to entertain me.
