Searching for the Sun
If you have never read my Bio page on my website (…not mad at ya…), you might wonder why I chose My Search for the Sun as the title of my blog. I knew I didn’t want my blog to be completely centered around IVF or infertility because it was just a season I was going through. Instead, I wanted my blog to be about more than just one topic in my life…I wanted it to be about my entire life and the struggles I have faced and will face. I chose My Search for the Sun as the title because, to me, it means choosing to find the good in the bad. I’m sure there are…

5 Pieces of Marriage Advice We Still Use
Rob and I have been married for almost 2 years. I’m not lying or even exaggerating a little when I say that being married to Rob is the best gift I’ve ever been given. I’m not trying to make people nauseous with a bunch of lovey dovey crap…I’m just speaking my truth. I can also say in the same breath, while my marriage to my best friend is amazing, it’s also been very difficult at times. What they say is true- marriage takes work. I do believe if you pick the right person and put work into it, your marriage should be 1,000 times more amazing than difficult though. I don’t know…

Get Out on the Dance Floor.
I’ve been reflecting a lot about dating and the beginning of relationships lately. I’m not exactly sure why, but I think it’s because it was in April (2017) that I finally was ready to begin dating again. Thankfully for the last time in my life. Since I bare my soul to you about everything else, I might as well mention that I was in a very long-term relationship before I met my husband. We were never married. It was off and on for many years. Finally, four years ago around this time, we ended our “relationship” for good. I wasn’t 100% ready to start dating again, but I felt like I…

Learn How to Love Your Spouse.
I have made Rob take every personality test you can imagine since we started dating. Lucky him, huh? I naturally have a curiosity to learn what makes a person tick, and of course I have an even deeper interest in understanding the man I am married to. My husband (I’m sure like many other men) has never spent much time “finding himself”/reflecting/learning who he is and how he feels inside, etc. That is until he met me…. (Hehe) My husband hates to admit it, but he’s harmonious…he likes to keep other people happy and not worry about his needs as much. (…I love you babe…) Naturally it was hard to learn…

If He’s Not Your Best Friend, Don’t Marry Him.
I love my husband deeply. He is hands down the best friend I have ever had. But if you would’ve told me 5 years ago that my best friend would end up being an Army vet who lives in small-town Iowa, listens to Slipknot and has tattoos….I would’ve laughed in your face because I would’ve thought I didn’t have anything in common with that person. The irony of this…because it’s my life, so there’s always irony….is that after our 1st date, I told my family, “I don’t know…I feel like he’s more of a best friend candidate.” (Girl…sometimes I wish you just wouldn’t talk…) So as with most things in…
