I am so sick of this! I know I am being very vague and I really don't want to talk about it but some of you will know what I am getting at. I just have to get this off my chest. I am so frustrated, crushed, sad, and angry. I have been complaining all morning and acting miserable and so i just wanted to post a list of things I am grateful for. I know when we are feeling bad for ourselves it has been suggested to think of all the things you do have. So here it goes....maybe this will help someone more than just me.
I am grateful for (in no particular order):
my husband and my marriage-the best thing in my life
the gospel
the atonement of Jesus Christ
BYU/Wymount-great education for my husband and a wonderful environment to live in.
my family
my friends
my job and my husbands great job
food
bed
scriptures
prayer
temples
my sister and brother in laws
beaches
spring
chocolate
cell phone
car
living in this great country- with so many great opportunities and freedom
good health care
great ward
Me and all my family members are all relativity healthy
t.v.
service
internet/computer
I know it's not the end of the world. I have so much to be grateful for. I need to continue to focus on all the great things I have and not think about what I don't. I really am very blessed. If you are feeling down or like you are in a rough time in your life please try counting your blessings. It really can open your eyes, you feel so ungrateful for complaining about your problems when there are so many worse things out there. My new motto from Elder Wirthlin. "COME WHAT MAY, AND LOVE IT!

I'm so sorry Nicole...it will happen for you, sometimes it just has to be on Heavenly Father's time. I remember month after month of the negatives when we were trying for #2, but now I think that we had him at the right time, for us and for him. Hang in there, love ya.
I echo what your friend wrote. It's so hard not knowing when it will end. I often said that if I only knew when I would have a baby I would be fine with the wait. Unfortunately that's not how Heavenly Father works, but I do know that when you are blessed with a baby you will see Heavenly Father's timing. I am amazed at your strength, because I know how crushing it can be. But I want you to remember that we are promised children. You will have them someday, somehow. And if you ever want to talk more in depth, please email me. Or send me a message on Facebook. I have been where you are and would love to offer you more support.
Hey Nichole! I think there comes a time in most people's life that they have to just stop and finally make a choice that they will choose to be happy and have faith no matter what the future brings. It is always great to have goals and plans (and not give up on them), and unfortunately there will be disappointments, but being prepared to deal with the hard stuff to come is what will get you through. Take care.:)
