3 Years and counting



Well I guess this is becoming a tradition to blog on our anniversary. I can't believe that we've been married 3 years, sometimes it feels like we've always been married, and on the other side I can't believe it's already been two years. Also I can't believe that we've been in our house 2 years. Crazy how life flies by!!


I feel so incredibly blessed to be married to such an awesome guy!! Love you Bee Jay Doub!!

Another Bump in the Road

As many of you know Brandon and I have been trying to get pregnant for a little over a year and a half, with no success. Other than the girls I work with, and a few friends, I haven't been really open about it. I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed about it, just don't want to be asked questions about it, or if it's because I just don't want the comments. It's been a road with a lot of peaks and valleys. Unless you've been in this spot I don't think you can imagine the emotional rollercoaster it is, seeing pregnant people all around you, being excited for pregnant friends, seeing young teenagers pregnant, test after test, month after month.

We've done several different medications, tests, spent a lot of money, sadly sometimes it all feel like it was for nothing. We changed medications last month, with hopes of better news. After a blood test yesterday we got the same old news.

I feel like at the end of this post I should have this "It all changed today type news" Sadly I don't have that, I guess I just needed to get this all out. Be able to say what I want, without being inturrupted, or feel bad for how I feel. I want to be able to blow off steam and not get the "it will happen for you" "you're time will come." Don't get me wrong I appreciate the support and love I've recieved from friends and family, but sometimes I just need to vent and get over it.

I feel like I have to put on a strong face and just be ok with everything, and just wait for what test of medicine is next, but it's really hard. It's hard when people put in there input, of you don't need to go to doctors, you don't need the medicine. You just need to relax and let it happen. Any advice I could give is to NEVER NEVER EVER EVER give your imput to someone who is in this spot, unless it's asked for.

Sorry to just let it all out, but I feel like I've been carrying all this for awhile, now that it's all out there I can just let it go and hope for what's next.

Time to dust myself off......

Over the last couple months, I've been really down in the dumps. So I've decided enough is enough, and it's time to pick myself up and make a list of the things I'm grateful for.
1. I have the most AMAZING husband that would do anything for me!!




2. I have a GREAT family (I'm aware everyone in my family isn't in this but it's the easiest one I could post)



3. I have a job that I really enjoy (most days :) )



4. I'm very grateful for the Gospel in my life, for the guidance and hope it gives me.



5. I'm very grateful to be serving in YW, I love my girls they are amazing!



6. I love my cute little house



7. I have amazing friends!!



8. I'm grateful to live in this country, corrupt as it may be we're very blessed.



9. I'm grateful for music, I feel the right song can get me through any situation, or mood I'm in.



10. I'm grateful for wonderful parents, I know that kinda goes in with family, but if you've met them you know they are amazing, and I'm so grateful for the example and guidance they give both Brandon and me.



This is just the tip of the iceburg I feel that we are being incredibly blessed. I'm going to try to focus on my blessings rather then what I don't have, and keep on trekin.


P.S. After 3 picture I got sick of trying to load them, so use your imagination :)

Two Years

I can't believe that I've been married for two years. Part of me feels like I've been married forever, and the other part feels like it's flown by.

Brandon's the most amazing/patient/loving/kind/hardworking/selfless person. I'm so lucky to be married to him, and grateful to know that we'll be together for ever. :)

Allergies YUCK



So Brandon had an appointment with the allergist today, it was crazy what they did, they marked his arms with 42 marks, and poked/scratched each one with different types of trees, weeds, grass, different animals, and molds, the ones that swelled you knew he was allergic to. Each one was numbered, then they gave us a list of what each number was, and a book of what each tree, weed, or plant looked like, it was actually pretty funny if you could watch us, "ooo what's number 27 it's getting big", "oh that ones sagebrush, or timothy grass, or some other random plant."
This picture was just a few minutes after they poked him. They told him they were concerned about how allergic he might be, so the nurse checked on him after about 5 minutes (the test takes 20 min.), and put a steroid cream on some of them, because it was apparent there was some irritation. If you look really close his left wrist was HUGE.


This was after they cleaned off all the pen marks, poor Brandon he said his arms itched to the point of, his arms felt like they were on FIRE. Poor guy looks like he's beaten.




If you didn't know getting allergy shots are quite the commitment, for the first 6 months you have to go 2 a week, then after that it's once a week, every other week then once a month, it's like a 5 year process. good gravy.

This picture no where gives it justice, he was pretty proud of his popeye arms. He said he's never had so much fun at the doctor, ha ha. Turns out he's allergic to just about EVERYTHING that grows outside, which kinda really sucks considering Brandon is a custodian and works outside A LOT. Hope everyone is have a fabulous summer!!

MY CAR IS TRAPPED

So today I got home, came inside just like normal. Then Brandon and I went to the store, and came back in through the garage, and Brandon said, "I keep hearing music" we thought it was our neighbors that just moved in, then i got in my car to go to young womens, and realized that my radio was still on. I turned off my car, just didn't turn the key all the way (eyeroll). So Brandon said try to start it......................click click click..............NOTHIN. So I went to young womens in brandon's truck, tried it when i got home again.....................click click click. So we thought ok this is bad, well we'll just put my car neutral and roll it onto the drive way, and jump start it. Applied the brake, tried to shift it NOTHING apparently the car has to be on to shift it. So i'm praying really really hard that by morning it will just magically be fixed and i will be able to enjoy my lovely pretty polly protege once again, if not brandon says we'll have to buy some short of battery charger.. Sounds expensive.
