Praise God! Stanley has been contacted for several interviews with great companies. I know that this is just the beginning and it may not yield a new job or even new insurance but it’s definitely a start. I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This has been a tough … [Read more…]
I try to make sure that I write in my journal daily along with reading my bible. The past couple of weeks have been so challenging for me that I’ve been having a hard time focusing and even when I do focus, I seem to write the same thing. My last couple of entries have … [Read more…]
So after finding out that Stanley’s sperm count didn’t increase the way that we thought it would have after the procedure, we were kind of stuck. What’s next for us?
