We came up with the name Addison months before we conceived. I knew I wanted to call our little girl "Addi," but only wanted that to be a shortened version of a longer name. I wracked my brain trying to come up with a name. After a couple of days, Jared suggested Addison. We both love it!
We came up with the middle name Hope because during our long journey of trying to conceive, we never lost our hope. We knew that God was going to allow us to be parents someday, somehow.
Also, one of the songs that I really loved during the most difficult months of our journey has the following words:
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
The irony, until two weeks ago, which was long after we decided on the name Addison Hope, I didn't know that the name of the group that sings this song is "Addison Road." I love how God works! :)
