I kept telling myself I wouldn't start blogging until Dave and I had children. After all, who wants to read a blog without cute baby pictures in it? It is like receiving a Christmas card with a family picture of just a couple, something seems to be missing.
Largely selfish motivations caused me to change my mind. This post graduation period - even though it has only been a few short weeks, has been extraordinarily difficult. I am attempting two seemingly impossible endeavors - to become pregnant and have a professional performing career in the NY dance scene.
Dave and I have been trying to have children for 4 years now and are finally seeing a fertility specialist. Our journey has been an emotional roller coaster and continues to be a challenge.
Auditioning in New York is no emotional picnic either. Add to these new found stresses that my support system of friends I've developed at school for two years has now been cut from my life.
Somehow sharing my experiences with all of you seems to help me find meaning in the struggle, and not feel quite as lonely. I'm grateful for everything I've been given, my loving husband, the gospel of Jesus Christ, my talents, and my trials. This will be a time of building faith and finding joy in the journey. It promises to be very entertaining as well. Here's to entry number one and new adventures to be had.
