As it is, I am debating about re-starting this as a place to vent as well as inform and keep track of information along our still-going journey ...
Sooo - since I last wrote/started this blog - here's an update!
I'm not sure if I revealed this before, but I had lost my job in February, 2009. Later that year, Mr. Rooster lost his job and boy were we a sad pair come our first wedding anniversary. Luckily, we both enjoy and can handle being around each other 24-7 ... and how lucky was I that he would help me with deliveries for my small, but growing baking + confections business. Later that year, 2009, I was able to get a local grocery chain to carry some of my products. This at least kept me busy and my mind distracted. The next summer, Mr. Rooster finally got a call back for a job ... overseas in the United Arab Emirates ... needless to say, he took it as it was all either of us could find. It was the longest 10 weeks of our lives, but we survived and are happy to be under the same roof again! Finally, after being laid off for 18 months, Mr. Rooster was re-hired at his previous firm this past January - and this could not have been better timing as my unemployment had run dry.
We have had a very rough few years it seems ... and most days it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. In the past, and in general, I consider myself to be a very optimistic person ... sadly, I think I've lost quite a bit of that, at least when it comes to my own life.
Now in relation to the theme of this blog, our baby-making attempts have also gone unnoticed to the storks ... we keep hoping our home will be on their next route, but alas, we seem to be on the unmapped island of 'unexplained infertility' ... I will add more details about the bumps in this road very soon ... needless to say, it has caused a great level of despair in my life and I hope that one day I will get to experience the joy at the end of this road ...
So, for now, I bid adieu and will try to pop in again, soon!
