Have you ever thanked God for your life? He created you. He molded you into who you are. He sent you here to experience life. It's hard, yes. It can be disappointing and frustrating and painful. But it is, in it's entirety, beautiful.

Do you ever wonder why some people decide to have bigger families and others have smaller ones? I think we all wonder about other people's circumstances and choices. And, for the most part, I don't think we're bing judgmental; we're just curious about other people's life circumstances, experiences, and decisions that create the situations they have.

There are so many things to consider: selling our current house and getting it ready to sell, making sure Scott has a job lined up wherever we go, having the money to move (so expensive), getting a new house (probably renting), making sure we are close to playgrounds and other activities for Berkley.... It's a lot to do and consider. It's overwhelming.

A long time ago, before Scott fell in love with me and showed me who I really am, I thought I was not pretty, unattractive, and undesirable. I have struggled with confidence since I was a kid for many reasons. A lot of it had to do with how I let friends treat me and how I let other people's words affect me. All of that affected how I perceived myself and how I presented myself to others.

Finally I was pregnant! After years of trying and waiting and hoping, after all the disappointment and hopes dashed, we were having a baby.

I don't know how many of our friends and even blog readers know my story--of infertility, heartache, waiting, longing, and then a huge miracle. This is part one of the story of my miracle baby.

Writing has always been my dream. I've come back to it again and again throughout the years, but I have let life get in the way of truly pursuing that dream. Let's get into the story, shall we?

I originally planned for this post to come out next week. But with the recent events of so many happenings, I thought it best to put it...

Hi! I'm Sara Ann Comte. Maybe you know me. Or some iteration of me. I've been online for some years, running some form of content through blog and website.

Things don't always turn out the way you hoped. I hoped to live in our house in Missouri for a long time and to turn it into our dream. And even though we have pivoted and found new dreams, I still mourn that life.

Let's add a little more context about where I have been, you know, like the title says, the big two-year update.

The last two years? I don't even know where to start. The last couple years are a blur, even though they have been some of the most profound, heart-wrenching, crazy, impacting, and even beautiful years in our almost 14 years of marriage.
