Remembering November


Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway  November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling. 

November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddest Thanksgiving we ever celebrated, a Thanksgiving spent at Craig Hospital. November 17, will mark two years since we picked up everything and moved to Denver to begin the long road of recovery. 

I still adore Thanksgiving, fall, and of course MY BIRTHDAY, but our lives did forever change during this wonderful month and that is a memory that you can't just forget. Eventual the hurt that the 10th brings will just be a faint sting, but right now it is still a gut wrenching pain. Eventual November will go back to being the best month ever, but for now it will be the month  that changed everything. 


XOXO,
B

    Happy early birthday. This will be my 1st American Thanksgiving so I'm excited for it (we're Canadian). I don't know much about his accident but I'm so happy Kaleb is still here with you.

    Happy early birthday! Woohoo! November is also a sad time for us ... a lot of people in our family have passed during this month in the past few years. It can be a sad reminder but just remember that God has so many good things in store for you two. It is a painful reminder but it is also your first November married, your first birthday married, and your first thanksgiving while being married! :)

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

Mr. and Mrs.

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Kaleb Wilson These exact words were said a week ago as Kaleb and I became husband and wife in the presence of God, our families, and friends. It was honestly the most enchanting day of my entire life. It was a day filled with more mixed emotion than I had ever experienced in one day. Not only was I marrying my best friend, I was having the wedding of my dreams, and was being given away by the man that will always be my first love.  I remember standing in the church parlor trying to catch my breathe as I patiently waited with my daddy by my side to walk down the aisle to the man that would give me the moon if he could. Tears swelled in my eyes knowing that this would be the last walk I would take as a Heronimus, and the next strides I would took would be as a Wilson. I longed to be a Wilson, but my heart broke to give up a name that will always mean the world to me. The music began, and the butterflies filled my stomach. I took one last lo...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...
