Wow... I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted. I keep thinking of posts I want to write, but just haven't really found the energy to make it down to the basement where we keep our computer and turn it on! Plus, I feel like I've been busy with work and other things. But anyways... Surprisingly, AF showed up this morning. A week early (well for me- since my cycles are usually about 36-38 days). The closer and closer we had been getting to starting this cycle the more nervous I had been getting. I don't know why I am so much more apprehensive about this cycle then the last. I even called my husband at work asking him if he wanted to postpone it a month. In the end, I decided to proceed- called my RE and scheduled my first appointment for tomorrow morning. If its going to be negative- then I don't think it matters how long we wait- so we may as well get it over with so I can start moving on with my next plans (changing insurances, switching RE's, hubby getting a varicocele repair, traveling, etc). I feel like it is amazing how many things we put on hold while trying to have a baby. It is almost like life is on hold. I truly believe that God has a plan for me (us) and this is part of his plan. I have no idea why this is the path he has chosen for me, but I believe that I am on this journey for a reason. I don't know if this will end with our biological child(ren), adopted children, or childless. I feel like I could accept this so much easier if I understood why (and if I knew what the outcome was going to be!), but that is just not the way He works. I have been wanting to write a post along those lines for sometime now, but still haven't been able to formulate the right words... so I guess that is just a little preview of what is to come (someday)....
Besides working, we traveled to the lake last weekend with two of our best couple friends (also in our small group at church). One of the girl's parents own a lake house, so it was tons of fun (and free!). Even though it was rainy most of the days- we still had a TON of fun just hanging out with each other and just "getting away." Here are some pictures of this past weekend. They were all taken with my phone- so not the best pictures- but I have been too lazy to upload the camera pics yet!
Of Course no trip is complete without finding a Sonic in the middle of nowhere! Gotta have my Lemon-Berry Slushes! There isn't a Sonic near us, so whenever we pass one, I HAVE to stop and take advantage of it- with a Route 44 slush! Who knows when I'll be able to find one again!
The first day at the lake! Absolutely beautiful!
Another view of the lake on the first day we got there! (The only day it was sunny- but we still had a blast!)
Wouldn't be complete without a little bit of cornhole. My dad made these sets for Joe and I. One is painted all Tennessee (for me) and the other one is painted a Marist "Red Fox" theme (for Joe). I always have to explain that one to everyone. I don't think anyone has ever seen Marist cornhole. :) (Tennessee always wins of course!) If you ever go down to Game Day in Knoxville, your tailgate is not complete without a set of Orange and White Cornhole.
Fog rolling in over the lake after a day of storms... (and the girls kicking some boy butts at CatchPhrase).
