Sharing

Well, I had finally put up wedding photos back in October… I realized that I couldn’t put any of the new stuff without having the wedding stuff up there. I mean, though my mom regularly tells people when she runs into them that I am pregnant and due in January, and forgets to mention that I also got married this past January, I didn’t want to do that with my social media. Plus, I like having things I want to remember on there, like a sort of digital photo album or memory book for myself. And I want those things to be in order. So, even though it was October and I got married in January, I wanted to put up the photos. It took lots of time and effort, but I got it done over a series of days.

And then, I forgot to do anything else. I had wanted to let them be the photos up for a bit. But I hadn’t meant to leave it almost two months(!). Nevertheless, that happened.

Now, I’m about to deliver this beautiful miracle into the outside world, and I hadn’t even gotten past our wedding photos from back in January. I figured it made the most sense to have everything at least in the right year, so I wanted to get everything posted before this year ended.

And I think I can manage that. However, when I sorted quickly through photos and put into an album all the ones I might want to post, I ended up with several hundred photos. So, that’s not happening. But a lot are all the photos from an event, and I just have to sift quickly to pick which one or two or three I want from that event.

Even still, it was a bit overwhelming to see all together.

But I got started. And I’ve made it to the week of Easter so far. Tomorrow, I shall continue forward and get. Hopefully, through the summer. The day after, I’ll finish off through earlier this month. Hopefully, I will get our family photos up as the last bit before the new year hits(!).

I left it with the photos talking about our miscarriage for tonight, as the last post published. It just felt significant enough to have that one sit in a special space for, at least, a little bit. I want people to see and read it. It matters to me very much. I am proud of what I said and shared, and I want people to get it. So, I guess I’ll draft some posts right now, in preparation for tomorrow, as I’m very in the mood to keep chugging through those photos. Yes, that sounds like a very good idea. Thank you.

Thank you, God, for this blessed year. It has been hard, and we have had much loss. You have stayed with us and supported us through it all, and in beautiful and unanticipated ways. Thank you for your love and guidance. Please, make me and the baby and my husband well, and keep us safe. In your name, I pray. Amen.
