Our Story

The Short Story:

At the age of 20, I (Jill) met my now husband (Daniel). He has been the best thing to ever happen to me- the love of my life - my best friend - my soul mate. After 4 years and 1 day of dating, we got married. We became a family of 2 and decided to have children right away. We wanted nothing more than to begin our own family. We knew (with my history of reproductive issues) that it may be a struggle, but it shouldn't take that long, right?

And so began our journey...  After counting days and tracking months, seeing multiple doctors and meeting several new specialist, running test after test, taking every pill and injection you could imagine, ovulation test and pregnancy test, having several procedures and multiple inseminations, it was taking longer than we thought... 3 years longer than we thought. We were worn out. Mentally and physically. "Trying" was no longer fun, and all the while, everyone around us was easily getting pregnant. Ouch.

Heartbroken is an understatement.
Devastated is an understatement.
I was broken.

We decided enough was enough. I was not in a good place. I deleted social media, deleted my previous blog, and lost all hope... So with that- I quit. We were officially on a break.

We packed up and moved to Florida. Sand, sun, relaxation. No doctors, no counting days, no timed intercourse. Just enjoying life. "It'll happen when you least expect it and when you quit trying" they said.

Well, after 18 months of "not trying" we are back home in Mississippi and we are still childless. Though, we are not without faith anymore. After multiple miscarriages, God has shown Himself to me more now than ever. He has given me the desire to want to try again. He restored in me my mustard seed of faith. So as we begin to try again, we wait, and we pray...
