Breakdown


Today is just not my day. I can't pinpoint exactly one thing that is not going my way because there are several. Why can't this school year just be over and done with already? Do I have plans for the summer? Yes, plans to do nothing and get myself into shape. Right now, I am struggling. Life is difficult for me and I don't think that there is anyone who can relate to me, therefore I keep most of what I am feeling bottled up inside. I don't even have the guts to write about what it is exactly that is weighing so heavy on my heart. Why, for fear that someone I actually know will read this.


One thing I will share that will come as NO surprise to anyone reading this, is that I am frustrated that I am not pregnant. I can't explain what a failure it feels like. As I am ready to move forward with other options, Blake is not. I often forget that there are two of us going through this because I put the burden on myself. I cry. I research. I go through all of the emotions, for the both of us. Unless you've been there you can't understand.  I feel the most alone that I've ever felt. I don't want to give up, "I just wish someone would tell me, like, this is how the rest of your life should look"--Marnie. But, I realize this isn't going to happen, so I pray. I pray the same thing daily, I keep the faith that one day my prayers will be answered. I truly believe that God has a purpose and a plan for me, far greater than I could imagine. I at least still have some hope.

the big ole move

wow. what a rough couple of days we have had. moving takes everything out of you. hiring movers was the best decision ever, they were in & out in less than two hours. now we have the tedious task of unpacking everything. we have so much stuff! here is a little preview of what has been going on at the dryden's...

the guys just taking a break
my awesome brother garren

our angel in her new king bed :)

there is so much to be done and it's overwhelming today. my sweet brother garren came over yesterday to help me move my clothes and holy moly i have so much stuff that the three closets plus wardrobe rack will not hold my stuff. it frustrates me knowing i must go through & give away. i even gave my housekeeper a ton of stuff yesterday but not even close to the amount i need to throw out. blake & i have decided to take it easy today, we deserve the break.



bella bell & daisy may are getting used to the new place but both are SHOCKED by the amount of space they now have (2,000 sq. feet) the hardwood is amazing, you just hear there pitter pattering feet/nails throughout the house. the huge windows bring in so much light and not to mention heat (!) so i purchased twelve heat/cool resistent curtains in hopes of controlling the heat. so far so good.

i feel a little guilty that i am not unpacking boxes and setting up the house but i just want to relax...
do you ever feel guilty when you have a huge 'to-do' list?
