So...hows it goin?

This has quite possibly been one of the HARDEST years of my life.  It all started last October, when I found out I was pregnant after trying to have another Madsen munchkin for nearly two years.  I was ecstatic.  Well, since then, we've had two miscarriages and we've been trying for over 3 years for that munchkin now.  I know that there are many friends in my life that have had things in that department a lot more difficult than me and I suppose maybe I shouldn't complain so much.  But, it still hurts and know I mean no disrespect to those valued friends whom I love so much. 
On top of that I had the family drama with the twins and the cousins I almost adopted but then decided I couldn't.  Um, yeah, it's been great.  Life has given me some great things along the way, like the trip to Disneyland and the camping we've done so far this summer. Jacob and Courtney got married. :) It's also blessed those sweet children.  The older kids are all in the same Foster home, which is wonderful, because they will adopt them if this court thing ever gets straightened out and the kids are not able to go back to home.  The twins are with some very close friends and the judge already ruled that the twins would not be able to go home with them.  It's been such a sweet triumph for that family. 
Not to mention, I have two very sweet, handsome boys who make everything that happens to me in life wonderful.  I just thought perhaps it was a good idea to share why it seems I've fallen off the face of the earth. I am determined to come back, that is if I can find my camera cord that lets me download all my pics.  My phone doesn't have the cool capability of uploading photos to the internet.  I know, I'm waaay behind the times.  Anyway, hopefully I've made it through the worst for the next little while and my life can get back to normal.  I just haven't been in the mood to post much lately.  I haven't been in the mood to do a lot lately.  Love you guys though and thanks for reading!!
