When you go as long as we did longing for children, you have a LOT of time to dream about all the things you would do with your kids when you do have them. We made a LONG list of things we want to do with our family and it has been wonderful fulfilling them. My Dad once told me... "Candace... Don't do things 1/2 way & don't live a mediocre life". I took him serious. Life is to be lived and lived well. There should not be a waiting period.
