Ornament Tag

Yes I realize I am at least a month overdue on this (Meredith) but I want you to know I had good intentions to post a picture and story of my favorite Christmas ornament. Before Christmas when everyone was still faithfully blogging other than myself that is, Meredith tagged me to share with everyone my favorite ornament so here is my memory.
Every year for as long as I can remember, my Aunt Becky has given all of her nieces a special Christmas ornament. The ornaments are all so special, and I can't wait to see what she has chosen for us each year. Well I don't know if she realized my circumstances when she bought this one, or if God just used her gift so I could always remember my life from 2001. Trey and I had decided to try and start a family that fall. I was 8 weeks pregnant and had just begun to tell people we were having a baby and it seems like as soon as we told I began to have trouble and the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Yes I know it was not the end of the world, but I was so sad because I wanted nothing more than to be a Mommy. Well in December I opened my ornament and here is was a chorus of baby angels wishing me Merry Christmas! It is my absolute favorite ornament and I imagine it will always hold a special place in my heart until I'm in heaven and can meet the little one that God has there awaiting me.
