Blog award

I received a blog award from my friend Crystal two days ago (and just found out about it today, because I'm lazy and hadn't checked her blog). It's a "When Life Gives You Lemons" kinda thing. Obviously, it's for making the most of what life gives you, making lemonade, that kind of thing. I don't really even like lemonade....

I'm not sure I do this stuff. I tend to be fairly whiny and when things are bad, the whining only gets worse. But I suppose I do have a fairly healthy outlook on things when I shut up and think about it (to myself. quietly. without whining). After four years of infertility treatments, I can honestly say I'm grateful for the IF. It was a long journey, and we're not really out of the woods yet, but I've been saying for a couple of years that it's made me a different parent than I would have been had I gotten pregnant immediately. It's brought Brian and I closer together, and allowed us time to just be a married couple, which was wonderful.

So I can only assume that's what Crystal is basing this award on, because my outlook on most things isn't quite so well-adjusted. Thanks Crystal for giving me this award.
