Round 2

Well I had my 2nd IUI today. I felt much better about this one, especially since I knew what to expect. I had a lot less cramping with this one, so hopefully that's a good sign. We're doing a lot of praying that this one will work and we don't have to do this anymore. I'm sure getting tired of all this and I'm ready to move on to the next phase.

What do you do when it rains?

Well this weekend we decided to take advantage of the cold and rainy weather and paint our formal dinning room. The colors were an inspiration from a sham I found at Lowe's. What was supposed to be an easy paint job, turned out to be a 3 day project. We pulled off the chair rails, base boards and the quarter rounds and then sanded and painted them. Each one required 3 coats of paint! The walls also took 2-3 coats of paint and they took forever to dry. For the most part, we are finally done and are just doing the finishing touches. My hope is to get the room and the house back in order tomorrow. Chris has been sick with the flu, so there are several things I can't do on my own. I'm hoping he starts feeling better soon!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Here's to the love of my love; Thank you for loving me for who I am, with all my imperfections and flaws. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for treating me like a princess. Each day I love you more and more. These last 7 years have been amazing and I'm so glad I got to spend them with you. With all our ups and downs, I can't imagine anyone else to share the tears and laughs with. I love you so much!! "You're the sun and the moon!"

What a kiss up....

How can you get mad when Coco climbs on the couch for a snuggle and then gives you the sweetest face?

16 rolls of TP + 2 bored dogs = 1 big mess

Better luck next time...

Well it's offical, i'm not pregnant. You would think that after years of this i would get used to it, but each time it's really depressing. We really thought it would work this time around. I guess it's hard not to get your hopes up when you get science and the medical experts involved.

We'll be starting this same process all over again and have another month of waiting to see if this time it will work. I'm not sure how much more of this we can take. Yesterday we breifly talked about adoption again and what each other thought about it.

I did it.....

The results are in.......I finished the 5K in a whopping 39 mins. I know, that sounds like you could walk 3.5 miles faster then that. But i finished faster then my last 2, so that's all the matters. I'm also happy to say that there were people who finished behind me! I had a great time; I just wish I would have dressed a little better. I forgot to take the cold wind into consideration when I put my shorts on. =( and it was cold that morning!! I'm really glad Maggie was there to do it with me and to keep me going. I can't wait to do another one.

5K

I found another 5K to do this weekend. The Seton Hospital of Williamson County is having it's pre-opening celebrations and it's starting with a 5K and 1K family run. I did the 5 mile Turkey Trot and the Jingle Bell 5K last year and have been wanting to do one again. I'm really trying to build up my stamina so I can actually run the whole time instead of walk/jog.

On a side note, we had our first Stake Women's basketball game last night and it was so fun. No where will you find both teams cheering each time the other team scored or everyone running over to help the person who just fell down. Our team only have 5people, so we had to play the entire game. I truly thought I was going to have a heart attack in the first 3 mins of play!!! Again, I really need to work on my stamina. The good news is, even though I haven't played a real game in 10 years, I was still the high scorer with 14 points!
