Updates!

Wow, I didn't have the intention of neglecting this blog so much. Life sure moves quickly and we have had a busy year. But we have had a lot of fun too!

We have done some traveling this summer (already). The first trip we went on, and reason for this update lol, was Florida! Joe and I took the girls on a Disney Cruise! We all had so much fun, we definitely did not want to return home. When we planned the trip several months ago, I had messaged F&C to tell them they should come along with us. I didn't expect them to say they would, but what do I know! They love Florida! They didn't think V would really be big enough for the actual cruise, so they went and explored Florida while we were on the boat, and when we got off we got to hang with them in Orlando for the weekend. I was SO EXCITED!! We all had a great time. We went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack, then spent the day at our hotel pool swimming and enjoying the sun. Grabbed dinner at Rainforest. Then some shopping around Disney Springs. The next day we had to be at the airport to come home around 4pm, but we enjoyed the outlet mall (it was so huge) and then we said our goodbyes. **We so should have gotten a better photo of all of us. Oh well, next time!**


F&C thank you for being such great friends. I know that our journey is over,  but I am so glad that we have the friendship that grew between us for the past three years now. Victoria is beautiful and I'm thankful that I get to watch you all grow as a family.  We, of course, will be in touch and vacation again soon I am sure!

While we were hoping to do a sibling journey, Circle (the agency we used before) has a crappy section in their contract that states we must use them for a sibling journey. Well, not being pleased with experiences with Circle during our first journey, that was not an option for us. We tried to get out legally, but the only option they gave us was to pay them a large amount of money. Through many unprofessional emails back and forth with the agency owner, there was just never going to be a resolution, and there is no way I or F&C would use them again. We decided to pray for F&C's next match. Hoping that they find their next amazing surrogate soon.

Send us all prayers as we move forward. Thank you all!!
