Wednesday

I know what you are thinking.

What an incredibly thought-provoking and original title for today's post.

Just call me Kendra the Creative.

But I figured it was better than "Ugh", which is my current mood, or "All Over the Place", which is what this post will most likely end of being!

This week is filled with incredibly fun things...and yet my mood is blah.

Anybody out there relating?

It's almost as if my body overheard my conversations with my doctors about a possible hormone imbalance, and in retaliation they said "Pshaw! I will show you imbalance!"


As far as the incredibly fun things...


Last night my very best friend flew into town. We haven't seen each other in 3 years, which is far too long. After work today I am picking her up from her grandparents house and we get to spend the next couple days together. We were like two peas in a pod in high school, and we have one of those great friendships where you can go weeks without talking, and yet pick up right where you left off the last time. It's such a blessing! Tomorrow will be filled with sleeping in, coffee, pedicures, shopping, and lots and lots of catching up.

There is just something about hanging out with someone who has known you since "way back when" that is both comforting, like an old shoe (I mean that in a good way Tara!) and also makes you strangely aware of how far you've come...how different you are now...both in the good and the not so good.

And then Friday & Saturday, my sweet friend Julie and I are going with my Women's Biblestudy group to see this lady:

...and seeing as how pretty much anytime Beth Moore opens her mouth, she speaks to me in such a way that makes me just long to sit at His feet for awhile and marvel in His awesome wonder, I know it will just be an amazing 2 days.

And satan knows I will no doubt be blessed this weekend, so he is doing is darnedest to convince me that all I really want to do is stay in bed 24/7 with the covers pulled over my head.

Ugh.

Moving on...

My sweet bloggy friends Lori and Kelly both nominated me for this lovely award this week:

Rules of The Sisterhood Award:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

2. Nominate at least 10 blogs with great attitude and/or gratitude.

3. Be sure to link to your nominees in your post.

4. Let your nominees know they have received the award by leaving them a comment on their blog.

5. Be sure to link this post to the person who nominated you for the award.

Ah, Sisterhood. What a great word! Not to get all "It's-an-honor-just-to-be-nominated" on you here, but it really made me smile (and two times over! Thanks girls!!). What a blessing blogging has been to me! For so many reasons, but the biggest one at this time is the friends and support I have gathered while waging the uncertain waters of infertility.

Oh, what a dreadful word.

It has been the hardest, most defeating, self-esteem destructing thing I have ever dealt with in my life, and it probably would have eaten me alive at this point if it weren't for the amazing outlet that blogging is, and the friends I have made here. And so to know that in turn I can be or have been of ANY help to anyone else suffering this path as well -even if it just be to weather the journey along side them- well, it means a lot.

So without further ado, here are my 10:

Lacy

Stephanie

Faith

Mimi

Heather

Heather



Jenna



Sarah



Jen



Lianna



And I am doing this on my lunch break and in a hurry so there is probably like 20 other names I could mention if I had the time...Every single blog on my sidebar brings me joy, peace, strength, inspiration, encouragement, a reality check or a good laugh in one way or another, and I am so grateful for it.


Happy Wednesday all.


Now how's that for All Over The Place??
