Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Did you know that October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day? It is a day of remembrance for pregnancy loss and and infant death, which includes but is not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or the death of a newborn. I wanted to do something special, and we decided to release pink and blue balloons. (I didn't really think what people might think seeing Matt leave Publix with the balloons...oops!) :) It was really windy when we released them and they actually got caught in a really tall tree in the woods. We think that it is absolutely hilarious that we have pink and blue balloons flying above our house tonight. We seriously laughed forever about it! It is a special memory and we are definitely promoting awareness about pregnancy and infant loss!

In all seriousness, May 5th- May 8th was one of the hardest weeks of our lives. However, we are so much stronger now. We are closer than ever. And believe it or not, some beautiful frienships and blessings have come from the trial and pain of our miscarriage. The Lord is our everything and He gives us strength. We serve such a faithful God!

I had a great final day of Fall Break. I was up bright and early. I went to Publix, my school, and had Taco Soup in the crockpot before 9:30am. I also worked on report cards. I love productive days at home!

Bible Study was pretty amazing tonight. Tonight's lesson from my beloved Beth Moore was about work. What a great lesson for me to hear...praying that I'll be energized and refreshed tomorrow! It was also my week to help with dinner, so that is always fun!

Hope everyone had a fabulous fall Monday!
