Life goes on! Brah! La! La! How life goes on!!
This blog probably needs some virtual dusting since it’s been so long since we’ve blogged.
April and May were busy for us. I can’t remember all that happened, but I do know we went to three different weddings–two of them lasting what seemed like all day. I started teaching a new class off campus that eats up my one free weekday for grading meaning my schedule got totally twisted around and my free time disappeared. We also were privileged to watch a good friend baptize her high school classmate in the ocean.
Several people have mentioned that having a baby will solve our lack of blogging “issue.” And, boy are they right!! We would love to have a baby and I’d enjoy blogging all about it, but we are struggling with infertility. And, that is another reason why blogging has taken a backseat. It’s something we’re working through right now, and I’m not ready to write openly to the world about it yet. Maybe one day . . .
And, kinda like when Lawrance and I were dating, when I couldn’t blog about it yet, it made me not want to blog about anything. I’m an all or nothing kinda girl–it’s something I’m workin’ on. If I don’t blog about one of the main things that occupies my mind, I feel like I’m lying. So, it makes difficult to blog about anything.
One other thing we’ve been working on recently is cleaning out our home and getting our guest room ready because we have company coming. My mom is coming!! She arrives tomorrow night Taiwan time. This will be her first time in Taiwan. I’m so excited.
So, we have two weeks of school left, and then I have a month basically off and get to show my mom all around Taiwan. Wuhoo!!
hoping you have an absolutely fantastic time with your mum. You are quite right to keep procreation issues to yourself until you feel able to discuss them openly because people will feel free to say anything and everyhting once you begin posting about it! and if it helps, although I could blog a lot about my children, having them does not leave mych time for the blog……..and my blog has been getting pretty dusty too!
I think it’s definitely a good idea to only share the fertility issues with close friends at first. I find that if I share a problem with someone that’s really beyond anyone’s control, sometimes the person tries to “fix” my problem rather than just listening. I’m sure you guys are already doing everything you can and don’t need any well meaning advice or herbal supplements from the granny down the street. I’m here to listen or pray for you if you need me though (of course I’ll pray no matter what). And I agree with Susanna. Jonathan isn’t even 4 months yet and I have absolutely no time to blog!

Hey Amanda, I’m so glad to be back!!! I’m sorry to hear about your infertility struggles, though. :( Lots of hugs on that one. I know what you mean about an all or anything blogger!! :P
