"...my achy breaky heart"

Oh my heart, my pitiful broken heart. When will I feel the healing hand of my God?
I Spent 2 days at monastery this week seeking healing and direction from God. I heard a lot from him and cried the hardest I've cried in a long time. Came home to the surprise of a new home and still can't get passed one small thing...I have no children to fill either house. Its just us. Even now, writing this my eyes are welling with tears. Oh how I long for kids to hear cry and snuggle with and let run in the yard with nothing but a diaper on. It was the only thing I wanted to talk to God about on my retreat and the only thing he didn't speak about.
One of the hardest parts with being open and honest about our struggle with fertility is that people start to become afraid to tell you they are pregnant. And then when my genuine joy for them is expressed the phrase I hear time and time again is "thank you for being happy for us". As if I wouldn't join them in sharing their joy. And then the great accuser sends lies to attack and all I hear is "they are all looking at you and thinking, poor Amanda she can't conceive. It will NEVER happen for you."
Anyone wanna drop off a kid on my doorstop?
This sucks.

Our House is a very, very, very fine house.

We bought our 1st house in August and 2nd in May. Okay, I know what your thinking....2nd house??? When we bought the house we are currently living in we bought it as an investment. It isn't perfect but worked for us. 3 bedrooms 2 baths 1200square feet. Mostly we love our neighborhood.We have been planning since we moved in to add on a master bath and bonus room but with the economy I never felt quite right about it. Last week I was driving down our street and low and behold my FAVORITE house was for sale. You know you have one too. That house! You know the one that you drive just a little out of the way to see every time you are close, the "one day could be mine" house and "If I lived there" house. EVERY time we drive down our street I tell my sweet hubby "I love that house, its my favorite" so you can imagine my surprise when I found it for sale. It was the "right" price and we decided to take a risk. We called all our peeps and did some research and decided it was a good move for us. The irony is that I had already planned on going on a retreat the day that we bought it. My sweet hubby bought it with the help of dear friends and surprised me last night when I got home. It needs a little TLC on the inside but will be cute as a button when we are done. No construction for us now all we have to do is rent our current house. Anyone need a home???

This picture doesn't do it justice I'll post more later.
