Yesterday was great!!

We had a wonderful time yesterday for our anniversary. We just lounged around together in the morning then later in the afternoon we went to Erie and bought new living room furniture. We got what we think is an awesome deal. We got a couch, love seat, coffee table, end table and entertainment stand for a really good price. Can't wait for it to be delivered on Nov. 8th. Dan and I are already planning sleeping on it the first night we have it. We then went to dinner at Porters' House in Titusville. We both ordered steak and I must say it was one of the better steaks we have had recently. We came home and watched our wedding video and called it a night. It was nice to spend the day together.



I left out that we also sat down with our pastor yesterday in the afternoon. It was the only time this week we could do it with all of our schedules. On Sunday, I had a hard time sitting though church for some reason. I kept tearing up and it was all I could do from sobbing. I held it together and only shed a few tears. Well, Pastor Rob being the caring, awesome man that he is asked us after church if everything was okay and if we wanted to talk to him. We both said yes and I teared up again. We addressed our questions concerning the views the United Methodists hold with fertility treatments. He told us that as the UMC we thank God for modern medicine and it's ability to open up these doors. With that said he also said, if we are not to have children, or are suppose to adopt the treatments would continue to fail. If God wants us to birth our own baby, these treatments will work and there is nothing that should stop us from exhausting all options of treatment. He also asked us a lot of questions of how we were dealing with everything. How this was playing a role in our relationship and as individuals. We shared that even though this is a really hard time for us both as individuals as a couple it has only brought us closer together and have really had to support one another. We also talked about my need to see the end result and know exactly what is suppose to happen when. Pastor Rob put that old "If you want to hear God laugh tell Him your plans." line out there. It was a nice conversation and it reassured me that we are going in the right direction and our decisions are solid ones.
