England 2018 – Part One – Brighton, The National Gallery, & British Museum

Before I get started on this post I just want to say thank you so much for all the prayers, kind words of encouragement, and comments.  If you follow me on Instagram then you know a little bit about what has been going on the last few weeks.  Basically, after we found out the baby didn’t have a heartbeat I had a D&C scheduled.  I returned to work the next week and I thought everything was okay….but I just wouldn’t stop bleeding.  Finally I got so pale that Terence was telling me I needed to check myself into the ER because I looked so bad.

I checked in on Sunday afternoon and was admitted to the hospital.  I had an infection from the previous surgery.  So we did another D&C and started several rounds of antibiotics and pain medications.  I was in SO much pain!  I’m doing a lot better now and I’m just focusing on getting healthy and back to normal life.

Normal life…which is hard right now.  I feel empty and sad.  So sad over something I really never thought about or thought was even possible.  But I’m trying to keep my head high and I know that God is trying to show me something and whatever it is I know it’s His will for me.  We also have a new french bull dog named Hemie who is the sweetest ever!  And NO…our kitchen isn’t finished yet…this has been the LONGEST kitchen remodel in the history of kitchen remodels.  I can’t wait to share the end results of that either.

We had a wonderful trip to Europe in June and I’m excited to post about it!  I’m going to have to break it up into a few posts because I have about a MILLION pictures…but that’s what you do on vacation right?  We had the best time I want to post everything for memory sake before I forget everything ๐Ÿ™‚

So, I’ll just start at the beginning…

We have the best cousins that live in England, we are so blessed that when we go to visit we get to see and stay with them.  I just LOVE it over there and would go all the time if I could.  Trying to fit everything into a week’s time with small children is a hard task…so we’ll just have to go back again soon ๐Ÿ™‚
