A year ago...

...tomorrow, this was us. We started our 3-day l&d marathon.

Look at how excited an unsuspecting we were.

See excited below.

Had I known what was to come, would I have done anything different? After a lot of thought, I would have to say no. I appreciated all the joy, the struggle, anticipation, pain, the happy tears, and the sad tears. All that took place happened for a reason. After a years reflection, I'm pretty sure I understand some of those reasons, and for that I am grateful.

A year ago, tomorrow, one of the greatest blessings decided that he wanted to start making his way into our lives in a new and different way. He waited for us to go to Mass so that we could spiritually be prepared for all that was to come. Maybe he knew that he was so cozy he would be a challenge to get out!

Anyhow, look forward to sharing more as we approach the birthday of our little Junebug.

If there be a true way that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured. — St. Colette
