Friends

Friendship is born at the moment when one person says to another,

"What? You, too? I thought I was the only one."

I stole this from a blog I follow because it is perfect for my post today. Thursday was a hard day for me. Physical things were going on with me and we had our personal interviews for the adoption approval process.  While Justin came out of his interview hopeful, optimistic, and in a relatively good mood, I felt drained, exhausted, and a little torn down. I know most of that is from me, the expectations I put on myself, and my anxiety. I went straight to my yoga class hoping that would help me feel better, but because of some of the physical issues I was having that day I just felt worse. Pretty much I was having an off day. I do think everyone is allowed one every once in a while. : ) Well... When I got home I have a pretty package on the table waiting for me.

I was baffled by who it might be from and what it might contain. I saw the street name and thought it was from someone in Washington. LOL. I was like, "I don't have any Aunts in Washington."

I pulled out this cute unicorn and was even more confused. Then I read the card and pulled out a smaller envelope and started tearing up. This wonderful package made my day. The little guy's name is Wishful, which is totally perfect. Infertility is a rough road to travel. However, it has been made easier by the wonderful life long friends I have made who share this road. Stephanie, Allison, Kerry, Eve, Amanda, Amy, and Katie all sent me beautiful notes and donations to our puzzle fundraiser.

These women have called themselves Aunties. Family is more then blood. These women have been such a strength and a blessing in my life and I can't wait for our children to play at the park together. Yes we already talk about play dates. I have made lifelong friends whom I would never have met if not for this trial we all share. Thank you guys. You hold a special place in my heart.
