This Christmas was the best Christmas Emily and I have ever had. Being a part of Ryan's family traditions this year was really a great experience. When you share your life with someone you always hope that you will get along with their family. Not only did I have to worry about that "getting along issue," but i had to overcome the stigma attached to a divorced, 26 year old female, with little girl, and a side of cancer treatments issue! :)
I can honestly say I have never felt more comfortable and accepted by any family in my entire life. Its almost like the cliche line of, "finding your perfect match/soul mate!" I really think that he was put on earth for me as I was put on earth for him. His parents love Emily and treat her as if she were their own. His brother and sisters make an amazing group of aunt's and uncles and I just want to put it out there that Emily and I are so very blessed! In this picture is Aunt Jessica (Ryan's brothers wife) and Emily baking a week before Christmas.
Jessica just found out that she is pregnant and I couldn't be any more excited. I feel like this will take the edge off of my baby withdrawals a bit! Its very hard for me to deal with the fact that Emily might be my only child as I have ALWAYS wanted a lot of kids running around. Once we get married we are going to look a little deeper into adopting if I cannot get pregnant. All the radiation that was done to my abdomen might have made it harder or impossible for me to ever have kids again. Emily is at the age now where she is learning responsibility and I can see in her that she would be a great big sister. I want her to have someone to grow up with! This is my new years wish.......
