2011: My Year in Review

I thought that It might be cool to go back through the months and point out the significant events that occured throughout the year. Some are good and some are bad... But overall it was an alright year.

The biggest achievement of the year was to get through the 1st year of Marriage. It was a difficult year and I can honestly say that as of December 31st, My husband and I are making changes and have been the past couple months to ensure that we have a long lasting and healthy marriage.

The biggest challenge this year has been infertility, as of December 28th I am on cycle 18 of trying. I have watched my three friends get pregnant, give birth and celebrate their children's first birthdays. I have spent most of the nights crying myself to sleep only wishing that the cries of a newborn would be keeping me up. I am hoping that 2012 will be my year.
