I just realized how long it has been since I have updated the blog. Thanks to facebook, I always seem to forget to update.
There has been a lot going on lately. Stephen and I made a trip to Alabama for Thanksgiving. While we were there, my grandmother passed away. I regret that I didn't get to see her one more time. There's no doubt she is in Heaven right now, I will see her again one day.
My dad just recently had surgery on his shoulder. He is in a lot of pain but in the long run he will be better off. My mother has been so wonderful in taking care of him.
This weekend we are all meeting up in Nacogdoches to celebrate Christmas. I can't wait for everyone to be together.
I hope everyone has a Merry CHRISTmas! Let us remember why we really celebrate.

July....
Well, July has been busy. We went to San Antonio the end of June/first of July. We had a blast! We did the river walk and Sea World. It was definitely good times! I went to Sea World as a kid, but Stephen had never been. It was like going with a kid, he was so excited. It has changed a lot since I have been too, so I was equally excited.
I went to the foot doctor the day before I went to have my pregnancy test. The dr. thought I had broken my foot so he put me in the "boot". He wouldn't x-ray until we had results. We didn't get the results we wanted. The next week, I went back to the foot doctor, had my x-ray, found out some interesting news. My foot is not broken. However, I found out I have metatarsus adductus, which is similar to club feet. My dad, older sister, and her 2 kids were all born with club feet. There is nothing he will do about it. I've lived with it for 32 years, what is a few more?? I do still have heel spurs. He put some inserts in my shoes. The WORST part was the shots in my feet. I have to go back tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. But, it gives me relief.
On Wednesday, I go to my reproductive endocrinologist for a consult. She will probably tell me I have to have surgery to remove the polyp on my uterus. Then we'll move forward again.
ADOPTION, it keeps coming to my mind. I just can't stop. Please pray!
Stephen's parents are here and we're having fun with them. Doing lots of eating!! :)
That's all for now. I am enjoying my summer still. I am almost ready to go back. This summer has been an emotional rollercoaster.....

Where did June go???
Wow! Was that June that just buzzed by???? I can't believe one whole month of my vacation is over almost. I have been enjoying being home with Sippi and being able to do my housework leisurely! :)
My older sister and her 2 kids are here this week. I am keeping my niece here at the house. My sister is staying with my other sister since her hubby is on a mission trip to Honduras. This is "Lauren's week" to stay. Ryan will come home w/ us after the July 4th trip to Nacogdoches.
We had our 3rd IUI last Friday. Two weeks is a LONG time to wait to find out if you're pregnant!!! I'll definitely have to have surgery next month to remove the polyp if I'm not pregnant.
Stephen got a new car finally. It was much needed. His car was 13 years old and had 250,000 miles on it. It got to the point that he had to turn on the heater going through the Dallas mixmaster to keep the car from overheating. Bad part is, his windows wouldn't roll down!!! :( He got a Nissan Altima.

Schooooool's out, for, the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woooohoooooooooooooooo!!!
I can't believe summer is here. The year went by so fast. I really did enjoy my year with my first grade babies!! I am already missing some of them. On the last day of school, one of my little girls said, "Mrs. Wright, I'm really going to miss you. You are the first thing I think about when I wake up every day."....I wanted to cry! There were a few that were a little harder to love, but I miss them too.
It has already been a busy summer. I had a procedure yesterday to find out about the polyp on my uterus. I do have one and I'll have to get it removed. No big deal hopefully!
I have to tell you what God has been working on me about.....
Saturday night I was really sick (nausea) so I took 2 dramamine....it works really well by the way! So, Sunday morning I was so very tired. (it works but it will knock you out, much like phenergan!) Anyways, back to the point. I thought about not going to church but I did. I wanted to go. I got up and got ready. The teaching pastor was preaching that day. Low and behold, he was preaching about adoption. You know all that we have been through and are still going through. Adoption has always been a "last resort". I don't want it to be that way. If it's meant for us to adopt, the Lord will make a way for it to happen. I am not ready to give up yet. I am just really praying for discernment. Our teaching pastor adopted 2 beautiful children. They had a 1% chance of getting pregnant. The difference is, my doctor still believes I can conceive. That's the desire of my heart, I want it more than anything at this point. I am just giving it to God, after all, He knows what is best for us. It's just hard to know what that plan is. Pray for us as we deal with our options.

hi!
We had our 2nd IUI last weekend. I will find out the results on Fri, May 29th. However, I have been really sick. I actually got sick on Monday, just a few days after the procedure. I hope it doesn't affect the results. I came home MOnday feeling really sick, all of a sudden. achy, fever, sore throat, chills, etc....I was worried that it was the flu. So, I went to the emergency room that night. They tested me for the flu, it was negative. They tested me for strep, negative. I stayed home the next day from work. My throat kept feeling worse. That evening, I went to the urgent care clinic..sure enough, I tested positive for strep. What a difference a day makes......
Only 8 more days of school left. I am starting to get a little sad about having to tell SOME of my kids bye. I am going to really miss some of them!!!! I'll probably miss all of them in some way. This was a special group to me.

Howdy! It's been awhile.....
Wow, thanks to the world of facebook, it's been a while since I posted on here! It has been busy. Last month, we went through our first IUI cycle. Unfortunately, the pregnancy test came back negative. We are on our 2nd cycle this month. I pray this is the month, it is a very draining process, physically and mentally.
Sippi has been really sick. Between doctor bills and vet bills, our bank must think the Great depression has hit!!! Did you know there is a $200 cover charge for vets??? We didn't either until recently. I say all of that to say this, we think Sippi might finally be on the road to recovery. It is possibly clostridium. ????So far so good w/ the treatment. Our vet is wonderful!! We couldn't ask for a better person than Dr. Goodwin!
The swine flu must have hit my school. We went to school Monday, but we have been off the remainder of the week. When we go back Monday, we'll only have 16 more days. I'm starting to get a little sad. I am going to miss these kids. I might even shed a tear or two. There were no tears last year for sure. This year has been so much better. It has made me love my career again! I am so glad not to have to move this year!! Yeah!!!
I hope everyone is well. Please continue to pray for us. This fertility stuff can be very trying, and not just on me. Stephen has been the best during the whole thing. I coudn't ask for anyone better to go through my life with me. We are about to be married for 6 years! It has been kinda rough, but things are finally better.

Our weekend
We decided to go to Nacogdoches this weekend and so did Missy, Ryan, and little Isaac. We had fun. My brother in law cooked some yummy gumbo on Friday night. He is the best cook ever. If you ever need an even catered, let him know....you won't be sorry! :) We had fun playing with Mr. Isaac! He is so sweet. We actually traveled back home Saturday night and we were able to go to our own church Sunday. Speaking of church, we had a really good service. It was a "mosaic' service. You know, the tile itself is not that wonderful, but put them all together, and you have a beautiful piece of art. That's kinda how it was at church. We worshipped in a very different way, but good. There were different things going on all at the same time while music was being played. There was a confession area, where you wrote down your confession and put it in the basket. There was the Lord's supper. There were areas where you could write what God is to you. There were candles to light to make a committment to Him. Or, you could just worship at your seat with music. It was pretty amazing.
After church, I went to the Verizon store and actually got my laptop set up to be able to do internet while traveling. It is pretty cool. Speaking of that, we are going to Alabama this weekend and we are excited about it. The only part we're not too thrilled about is the traveling. We are bringing Sippi and we are having to get some sedation meds b/c she has really been freaking out at travel lately. So, that's about it. Oh, I am giving a benchmark test in math tomorrow and Wednesday. I pray my kiddos do well!!

Dave Ramsey speaks on Economy!
Update From Dave On The EconomyI'm tired of hearing all the gloom and doom coming from the media about the economy and unemployment-I bet you are, too! Let's take a minute to look at the true reality of the situation and what we can do about it. Yes, many people have lost their jobs and houses. You may be one of them. But guess what? People have lost their jobs and houses even in a bull market. About 93% of people are still employed. That is pretty good! I was alive in the 1970s when unemployment hit double digits, and we're nowhere near that right now! I'm not making light of the fact that some people are struggling; I'm just putting the situation in the proper perspective.Even though you may be currently unemployed, that doesn't mean you have to participate in the recession. People like me who have chosen to not participate acknowledge the reality of a slow economy and suffering people. However, we have decided that we're not going to form our lives around the negativity coming out of the media and government. We're intensifying our efforts and going to have the best year of our lives in spite of things slowing down.Some people who find themselves unemployed will go into new careers or start their own businesses where they have the best year of their lives-professionally, financially and emotionally. Their current job losses are actually blessings in disguise. They believe this and are formulating game plans based on it. I guarantee there are men in their garages right now starting their own mechanic shops. The next Mary Kay Ash is writing up a business plan for new products she's just created. College students are developing "the next best thing" in their dorm rooms as you are reading this. This is reality!So think about your skills and interests. How can you leverage those passions into something you enjoy doing every day while earning money for it? If you haven't lost your job but dread going to work, maybe it's time to fire your employer and go in a new direction. When you have a game plan for your money and career, you will have a sense of empowerment because you aren't a slave to the lender (or employer).When employers start hiring because they believe their businesses will grow, recessions end. Many who have stopped hiring a healthy amount have been paralyzed by fear. They've lost hope. People who continue going about their lives in normal ways (without being irresponsible and buying stuff they can't afford) believe in the future. It's called hope.You can have fear or hope. It's your choice.I choose hope.

nerd
I guess it's official, I'm a nerd. We had a science fair at our school. In Kinder-2nd grade, each class submitted a class project. I had no idea what I would do. My co-worker said, just do sink or float. I began looking it up on the internet. I actually found one I liked better. It was called "Sinking Soda Surprise". So, I did it. It took very little time but the kids thought it was awesome! Here's the deal...it's pretty simple. Diet sodas float in water (in an unopened can) and regular sodas sink. It's because of the sugar. Well, low and behold.......it won a blue ribbon!! Woohoo!! And to think that I made the comment that I didn't care if I won or not........

Our Sippi
Well, this is our Sippi. I am so glad her hair has grown out again. She is starting to look like Sippi again!!! I won't ever cut her hair that short again. She looked and acted so differently when I did. Isn't she the cutest doggie ever???? :)

stuff
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been busy with school work, sick puppy, etc.....Sippi has salmonella in her tummy. It has been ROUGH to say the least!!! But, hopefully she will be on the mend.
On another note.....I will be going to the hospital Monday to have the HSG procedure done. Keep us in your prayers.

4. The Lord truly brought Stephen and I together! My younger sis Melissa went on a mission trip in the summer of 2000. Anyway, one year later I was going to visit my cousin in Ohio. Melissa hooked us up! She emailed him and told him she had a sister she wanted him to meet. At that point we started emailing each other and talking on the phone until 2 and 3 am! (having to get up at 6 was rough). On June 1, 2001 he drove from Michigan to Ohio to meet me. And the rest is history!

another update
The fertility specialist office called me yesterday and said they had a cancellation today, so I went. I took Stephen with me! :) We got good news! First of all, I LOVE my new doctor!!! She is wonderful. She said she was pretty certain she could get us pregnant. She did a sonogram and said everything looked good. I have to have a procedure done in about a month, an HSG test, to see if my tubes are blocked. Then, more clomid and possibly insemination (IUI). We have turned everything over to the Lord. I no longer am trying to control everything!!

update on us
Well, just as a miracle happened today, Stephen and I are still awaiting our miracle. No I'm not pregnant but it's not from lack of trying!! We have been going through so much, and we haven't been very forthcoming with what all we have been going through. You know we have been trying to conceive for about 4 years but we really got serious about it this past summer. I have been on fertility drugs since then. It has been very tough. I have been on so much medicine and it is really making me act in ways that are not like me. I have basically been on an emotional roller coaster since then. Poor Stephen, he has been so awesome about everything. Putting up with me has been unbearable. I have been earnestly trying to not let it get to me. But, yesterday I guess I hit rock bottom. I guess you put up with "stuff" for just so long and at some point, you have a breaking point. I think I was at my lowest point yesterday since all of this has begun. However, witnessing the miracle today has helped tremendously!!
I say all of that to say this. Yesterday, basically, my OB/GYN gave up on my case. She told me to find another doctor, a reproductive endocrinologist. At first I was hurt, but I truly feel the Lord is leading me to someone who can help me. So, I am back at square one, starting my new doctor Feb. 23rd. It is a blessing because I was having to drive to Lewisville (an hour from home) to go to the doctor, and I was having to go a bunch! Now, this new dr. is 10 minutes from work, and it is at a very good hospital, Presbytarian of Dallas. Also, as of yesterday, I will have a new OB/GYN!!!! She gave up on me, so I'm giving up on her!!! Hmm! :)
Please keep us in your prayers. It is very easy to get discouraged when you are going through infertility, but I have to stay focused on the fact that the Lord never lets us down, that we have these trials and tribulations that just make us stronger and MAKE us rely on him which is what He wants us to do anyway. It's all about faith. From the words of Ronnie Freeman, the song "Faith":
Faith is being sure of you Like I'm sure of the wind and I'm sure there's truth Being certain You are with me every step of the way Faith- believing when I can't see The air I breathe in front of me Knowing I'll be with You one day This is what it means to have faith.

Baby Isaac
Yesterday, my sister had her weekly OB/GYN checkup and found out their her blood pressure was too high. She was admitted to the hospital. At midnight, my brother in law called and said her water broke. My family came up from Nac this morning and we headed to Frisco. Little Isaac was born Jan. 16th, 3:52 p.m., 7 lbs 2.5 oz, 20 inches long!!! He is perfect and beautiful!!! It is so amazing to see God's little miracles!

ahhhhhhh..............
Rest.
Today has been good. It has been restful. (for the most part, however, if you ask Stephen, he will say no rest for the weary!!) :) I had been after him to get out and clean out the garage. He did just that today, and I have to say it looks much better. I have about a million loads of laundry to do as well. But, at least I'm home, at least for now.
On a different note, we are awaiting the arrival of my brand new nephew, Isaac. I keep thinking that any day I will get "the call".
Sippi is better, despite the fact we still don't really know what is causing her to get sick. The vet is concerned about her liver, saying that it is too small. We put the breaks on all the testing for now. We had already accumulated quite a little vet bill. She will now have to be on a prescription dog food. ($$$$$) But, she's worth it. She's our "baby" for now, until the Lord blesses us with a little one.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Well, we are all 3 sick today. Stomach issues. Poor Sippi. She is at the vet right now. She is very sick. I hope we get good news from them today. She has been vomiting and has diarrhea. Not good!! Light carpet + diarrhea=disaster!!! :)

A New Year, A New Assignment...
Today, I started my new assignment at work. I must say that while it is a little nerve wracking to start a new program and customer that is totally different from those I've previously been affiliated with, I am excited, too.
For the first 8 years of my career, I worked mostly on R&D programs and sometimes it is just more enjoyable to do that. For me, working on and developing something new has always been a challenge, but makes thing more fulfilling. Now is that time, and I hope the new year continues to be that way.

just say NO to fireworks!!!
We found out last night that Sippi does not like fireworks!!! We cut the lights off in the living room and opened the blinds so we could see the fireworks over the lake and at the houses behind us. She went NUTS!!!!! She was barking, pacing, whining, whimpering....she was NOT happy!!! We're not sure if she was scared or mad. We thought maybe she thought they were in HER backyard!!! :) Needless to say, we will not be at home during the July 4th holiday! :)
