I’ve had this picture saved on my computer for about a month now…debating whether or not it was too much to give away to you all. Well, finally I decided it’s not. If you have had any kind of temptation to go to our venue website, you will quickly see what this events center is all about: LIGHTS!
We will not be using these actual LED lights, but you get the idea: Lights, Colors, Action!
More posts to come, so keep a look out! 🙂
![Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and I couldn’t not share my heart. [This picture was taken soon after we found out that I was pregnant with my second baby, which ended in a second loss.] . It’s been a long time since I’ve talked about this subject, and that’s mostly because I felt guilty. After three years of trying and two lost babies, we have a beautiful baby boy at the end of the rainbow. Skyler is my life and light every day, and I try not to take that for granted and that I get to be his mom for one second (but I’m not perfect and have those challenging days, too). I remember the pain that I felt with the hours and hours of tears that came along with our journey towards having children, and I just haven’t felt right about sharing about our losses since we have the baby we hoped and prayed about for so long. . But then I realized that’s silly. The thing that got me through the hardest days of our infertility struggles was the support and stories from people who had experienced what I was going through. I always appreciated words from mothers who had a difficult time conceiving, and they gave me hope that one day I could have a miracle at the end of our story, too. The thing is — back when we first started going through this, no one talked about it. I decided to open my platforms to share our story, and I don’t regret it at all. . When looking back at this photo, I remember how happy I was! I was over-the-moon excited and knew this was our second chance. I felt like our wishes had been granted (hence the photo theme we took while attending Aladdin on Broadway) — but then that all went away. Happiness turned to sadness and anger, and depression, and the process is something that I’ll never truly get over. . If you think miscarriage is too taboo to talk about, then my heart hurts even more for you. Truth is, more people experience it than we realize. So, if you know someone who has been through this (and I’m sure you do), reach out to them and give them a hug. They probably need it, even if you think they don’t. . Sending all the virtual hugs, prayers, and encouragement to those who need it. I think about you every single day!](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/0da50b5d4e27268d207149fad1faf8d5/5E252736/t51.2885-15/e35/p320x320/72079807_137291840901732_5807887667182004217_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com "Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and I couldn’t not share my heart.
