I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

My dear cyber friend Jaime has chosen to give me an award for my blog. This couldn't make me happier, so thank you Jaime! Here's what she said about me:
Joelle! She's still pretty new to blogging but she's on an amazing and rough journey through IVF and has had many ups and downs, however, despite that, she's very upbeat and tries to always see the silver lining. She's a great writer and always has a great Fun Friday post!

I started blogging just to journal my feelings and didn't tell anyone about it. I didn't even tell my husband because I was embarrassed of what he would say. When I finally told him I was about 4 or 5 posts in. I remember he said..."jeez, how long were you going to keep this a secret?!" Of course he's been nothing but supportive and even helps Bailey post a comment now and then. I still haven't told most of my "real life" friends and family, but I hope to some day very soon.

Apparently, once you get this award you have some homework to do. Here's a list of questions that you have to answer with one word answers. Not easy for someone who likes to babble. So here goes...

JJ has a closed blog, but she has been trying for babe for quite some time as well. Her blog is honest and heartfelt, and I love reading what she has to write. We met on a path that we both had hoped to never go down, but here we are. She has been a dear cyber and real life friend, and I wish her all the best that life has to offer.
