I haven't updated my journal in more than a year, so I think it's high time I did.

Last Christmas, I said yes to the one question I most wanted to hear.

In March, we realized we were pregnant. Surprising to be sure, but we were very happy and ready for a baby.

In April, we lost the baby.

We were married in July, in a beautiful ceremony that was absolutely perfect. We both cried and laughed and partied and had a wonderful time. It was wonderful.

Last week, I took my husband to the ER. He had swine flu and pneumonia. He's been in the intensive care unit this whole last week and will continue to be there for at least another seven days. He is in a medically-induced coma and on dialysis, but he is responding favorably to treatment and is expected to recover in a few months.

So that's my crazy year, and it's not even done yet!
