Challenges always create opportunities

I usually try to keep it light on the blog but I also try to keep it honest and things aren't always so easy. Alexander and I have learned in the past nine months that we are experiencing infertility issues. I've already gone through the motions: denial, anger, resistance to what is and acceptance. We are exploring every angle, getting second and even third opinions and we'll figure it out. However, the opportunity we are creating is one of a healthy lifestyle that will create longevity in our lives. We are eating healthy, cutting back on excess and increasing our exercise. This bump in the road is turning out to be an extreme motivator for taking care of ourselves and nurturing our marriage. This is one of those things that can make or break a marriage. I know I speak for both of us when I say we have never been happier. We are going to live, love, laugh, travel, enjoy each other and our loving pets. When it's the right time, we will be blessed with a baby - I just know it.
