Hard times for the Richter's

These last few weeks were a very hard for Dale and I..  We found out that we were pregnant.  We were 7 weeks pregnant and we were happy and cheerful, we were finally pregnant. We had so much excitement.   But then the rug come out from underneath our feet when I miscarried the baby.. We were both heart broken.  I have never cried so hard in my whole life.  I am so hurt.  I question everything... Why.....Why did it have to happen to us?  We would have giving this child so much love..  Why did we have to miscarry our baby?  Why is there so many people getting abortions why did we have to miscarry?  Why is so many teens pregnant, why did we have to miscarry our baby?  It is shocking, heartbreaking to realize what was happening.  It hurts everyday.  I have a very hard time with it, it isn't easy to loose a child, I know I haven't even met them, but I was totally in love with him/her...Everything that i have ever went through in my life, I would have to say this was the hardest...It has been a week now, but I think about it constantly.  I am so lost.  I go to work just to get away from what I am truly feeling inside.  I finally had a piece of dale, and I lost it... I am so heart broken....
I know you all are saying try again...It is harder than you think.  I have a rare vaginal bacteria, that I have to take antibiotics.  Dale has to take the same antibiotics for 14 days...I have to take them for 7 month, during my menses... I have to clear up this bacteria before I will allow a child to grow within me.. I have to take precautions.  Better to be safe then sorry... I so long to have a child of our own.  I am not sure how I will ever get over losing my first child... But I will learn how to deal with it... And we will try again!

This pasts week was a very sad week for the Richter family, for we lost a very dear friend and father.  What I remember about Pa Richter:  When I first started dating Dale (My husband) his dad loved me from day one.  I never had to prove anything to him...  He loved me for who I was and not for someone that I could never be.  I only felt comfortable around a handful of people from my husbands side.  Now every person who I felt comfortable and accepted with are in the another world, we all refer to as heaven...
I remember on an occasion,  when Dales dad took me to pick up a lawn mower and I riped off the rear view mirror inside the truck.  I was scared, for I thought he was going to tell me a few words... But to my surprise he smiled and then Dominic took the mirror from my shaking hands and said, "Glad that is out of my way now, maybe I can see something"  We both had a great laugh..  I will always remember him as a caring man.  I will never for get him, for he makes me want to become a better person.  I will miss you, until the day comes when we meet again. And I will greet you with a big hug, but until then I will take care of your one amazing son......

We are so lucky to have the opportunity to go on vacation with each other.  I love spending time with my hubby, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am glad I am his wife.  I have enjoyed our life together and I am excited for the next adventures in our life... 

All this rain!!

Lately it has been raining a lot here in Wisconsin.  But I think it is all over the country that the storms have been so crazy..  Here are some pictures of our pond, it has never been this high in the middle of summer on the beginning of spring when the snow melts off the fields. What a crazy year we are having!
