![]() On Saturday night Lee and I got all dressed up fancy and drove to Raven’s Stadium in Baltimore for our 2nd Cade Foundation Gala. Last year at the Banquet we received our grant and I spoke publically about our infertility journey for the first time. I honestly don’t remember much from that evening, it was a blur of faces and emotions. But afterwards I felt a weight lift off of my shoulders and I knew my life would be changed forever. Our lives have changed so much in the past year, it’s actually stunning when I think about it.

Our lives have changed so much in the past year, it’s actually stunning when I think about it. This year I spoke again, updating everyone with where we were in our journey, and how this experience has changed our lives. And again Lee stood by my side supporting me, as he always does, and with his hand on my back I had the strength to retell our story. It's amazing how with each time it gets easier, and the love and support we received from the crowd was uplifting. I am confident we will have a much better story to tell them at the Gala next year ;-)
