As a young women I was very active in my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served several church callings, including being the president of the Laurel class. Every Sunday I was excited to welcome the younger girls in church and comfort those who were shy or who were going through difficult times. I loved listening to the lessons and the music, I especially liked the lessons that talked about "me" getting married and having children.
In May 1996 I graduated from high school and I married the man of my dreams, Kendall on March 21, 1997 in the Manti LDS Temple.
A few months after I was married, we decided to start a family. Things were crazy at the time since we had my brother-in-law, wife and two kids living with us while they built there house. Kendall was working full time at the high school as a custodian as well as helping build his brothers house. I was taking classes from Snow College so we only saw each other a few hours a day, which was hard in its self.
In December 1997 my brother-in-laws house was ready to move into. Christmas Eve was the first night we spent ALONE in our own house, and I was filled with joy thinking that this would be the night we started our family. Little did we know, starting a family would be one of the biggest trials in our marriage, and life.

Hi Sheri, I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences with infertility. I have my own little story about a few years when we had problems conceiving after our first was born. Different experiences but the same heartache.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to check on your dates above...I'm guessing you mean you got married in 1997, not 2007, right? :)
