Hey Now!

Life... Sweet life. So, I just have to say that I am currently overwhelmed with happiness of how school is going and how many friends that I have that are there for me. One of my closest guy friends has offered to do something so selfless for me. As many of you know I was told that I cannot have children if I start later than thirty. That it would be almost impossible and fertility drugs may help but it is still about a sixty percent chance. Well, this awesome friend of mine has offered to be a sperm donor for me if I am not married in the next couple years. I want to have my degree first and be more financially stable. But, I am really thinking of taking him up on the offer. He is financially stable and would make an excellent father. He is smart, loving and just an all around great person.

Hey now! I know what some of you are thinking. You are thinking this is a bad idea and that the church won't condone this. But, think of it from my perspective. I am alone, and I am approaching thirty really quickly and I want a baby really badly. Yes, I want a husband. Yes, I want to be married in the temple and have children that are raised in the church. I just can't help but think that maybe it isn't in the cards for me.

I know I would be an excellent Mother. Better than most Mothers! Let me know what you all think as I am sure it is different than what I think!

Oh, girl.... life isn't easy and it sure isn't what we expected, is it? That's really sweet of him to offer.

I know you'll make a great mom and of course I want it to be the way you talked about, but I can see why you would feel the urgency.

My only advice is to pray, pray, pray. I don't think I have the right to offer any other opinion one way or the other. I know Heavenly Father will give you an answer if you really ask.

Love ya!
