Flawed and forgiven... Learning to live and appreciate this blessed life I've been given...I hope to record family memories, connect with my friends, and give hope to anyone who is waiting on God. God answers prayer in His way and His time...
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

My husband, Eric, and I tried to have a child for eight years. After many tests, surgeries, 3 IUIs, a miscarriage, fertility drugs, 3 in vitros, and most importantly- many prayers- we were blessed with our precious baby boy. During many years of the process trying to conceive, we dealt with the usual trials that an infertile couple faces. So many times we felt like we were standing outside the homes of our friends and family looking in the windows of their lives and seeing all the wonderful things that were happening to them. Of course, we were so happy for each of them, but it was hard because we felt like our lives were just standing still and we wondered when the plans we had made for our family would finally start.
So, A Window Of Our Own seems like an appropriate title for our blog. We finally have our own window. It's not a perfect picture window, but it's our window that is perfect for us.
