The Story of Us

Our love story began in the year 2000. We met while I worked in the agency my husband was apart of working with autistic children.

We were friends and then became more. I couldn't believe that he was real. I was young but I knew that what we had was very special and rare. Rarer still is that he is my one and only relationship and love. The love of my life.

I went away to college and we began a semi-long distance (about an hour away)relationship. He was with me through it all and he was and always is my biggest fan. I received my B.A. and graduated 4 years later.

I came back home and we were talking about getting married. A year later, my soon to be husband proposed. We excitedly planned our summer wedding for August 2006. Everything was picture perfect.

On a beautiful August day we got married with all our loved ones there to support us. It was and still is the happiest day of our lives.

We went on our honeymoon. A few weeks later my husband received his Ph.D. We began to talk about children but we both felt we wanted to enjoy being married. We both continued being career-oriented. I pursued my Masters degree.

By 2008 we had vacationed, we enjoyed our married life, I had received my masters and was in my dream job. We began to look for our nest egg. Nine months later we bought our beloved house. This was a huge accomplishment and a dream come true. I grew up in apartment buildings my whole life so being a homeowner was a page out of a fairytale.

Life was good. God had blessed us with so much.

We began to discuss starting a family. In actuality, we had begun talking about it probably a year after getting married but kept thinking there's time.

By February 2009 we had begun trying and kept thinking it would happen. I was actually afraid that it would happen off of my timeline since I had just started a new job.

By November after many tears, disappointment, being heartbroken, trying every thing from pre-seed to a fertility monitor we knew something was wrong.

And so our story began and continues.

If there is one thing I could say about my husband and I is that we feel very blessed to have each other. Our love, dedication, and determination has grown. We thank God every day for eachother.
