Dreams Really Do Come True

In a lot of ways, my life feels like a dream. Who is this beautiful blue-eyed boy that I get to snuggle with each day? Literally, in the blink of an eye, my life changed forever. I don't think my mind has completely caught up with my reality. My life has suddenly become a dream come true, and I constantly find myself thinking "this can't be my life." I used to think that same thing, but in terms of infertility and our journey, as in "this can't be real... crappy eggs at 25 years old?!?" Now, I think the same thing, but in amazement that my life is so freaking beautiful, it hurts my eyes. (And if that wasn't unbelievable enough, I can't believe it now takes me a week to finish a post... this tiny little thing got started on Monday, annnnd it's Friday Saturday Sunday now.)

This past weekend was a dream come true as well. My sweet, sweet friend Suzanne came to visit all the way from Indianapolis!

Suzanne and I first started emailing each other over two years ago, and well, y'all know my feelings on how amazing she is. I had already been thinking that I needed to get up the guts to fly (I'm terrified to fly) to Indianapolis after she gets home with the boys when I got a text from her about super cheap flights to Atlanta. Suzanne has flown into Atlanta multiple times but always as a connecting flight, not as a destination... you would have thought with alllll the traveling that she does, it would have happened within the last two years, but no. So we made it happen.

It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. And one that has a surprisingly happy and optimistic feel for two girls that were in REALLY different places this time last year. While it would have been lovely to drink margaritas and talk all night about how miserable infertility is, it was particularly special to talk with my sweet friend about BABIES. And the best part is that there were no weird feelings of wanting to be happy for her while squashing down the tinges of jealousy. Life is just dang good for both of us right now, and after coming through everything that we have, it was nice to celebrate what has already come to pass and plan and hope for the days ahead.

Her trip was very brief... just one night and then back home to her husband, but it was a sweet, sweet visit. I can't wait for Suzanne's babIES to arrive so that she can fully experience the joy that is in my heart. It's really, really beautiful to cross these bridges and start our families in the same year. So thankful for the history that brought us here, but SO excited about the future for our families.
