365 days in between

November 12, 2008, I was flying to England for our big move across the Atlantic.
Last year on this day, I was driving myself to the Emergency Room to find out if I was miscarrying. 
Today, after taking Kona for a walk, I plan on going nursery shopping with my mom.

I'm dumbfounded at what a difference a year makes. 

Next year, some time during the day, I simply hope to be building a tower of colorful building blocks for my son, only to watch him push it over with a big smile.

  1. Ohhh I hope that for you as well in a years time.

    I cannot put into words how truly happy I am for you and for it to happen naturally is well just so so special.

    I get mixed emotions when I read posts like this one because while I'm ecstatically happy for you, it just serves to remind me how we aren't moving forward, we're just in a perpetual holding pattern.

    Enjoy nursery shopping - every second of it!

  10. It is amazing how much changes from one year to the next.

    I'm glad this year is better than last and have no doubt that next year's block-tower-crashing will be even better.
