First let it be said that I intended to compose this entry on April 30th but as I have been fighting long, unplanned periods of sleep and feel asleep watching a movie last night, clearly that plan was foiled. Only for eight more minutes though, before even the first day of May passes by and then May 1st, 2004 will also be but a memory.
The month of April was a month full of tests. I don't know whether I passed them all. I don't know whether it matters. I made a lot of decision in April. Many that will forever change my life. Of all the decisions I made in April 2004, let's review a few just for grins. The decision to deal with my emotions differently - daily I must revise and deal with how that works now. It's strange and most days I hate it. The decision to move to Arizona, yes, this happened this month. God has decided anyway. He's still waiting for me to catch up.
After even just writing of those two things I'm exhausted. I want to write nothing else of the many other things that have occurred this month. So many other things could be said but those two alone have left me shaking.
You know what they say...when it rains, it pours. I hate cliches but really, the more I grow up the more I realize they happen to exist because there is truth in them that has been time tested.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
