Sidetracked

So I had my visit with my doctor today. It went well and we discussed starting Clomid and what to expect while on it and all that fun stuff. Well bless my poor doctor's heart-as she was explaining this to me, she also discussed my weight and she tried to tell me in the nicest way possible that I was fat. Ok, she didn't use those words, but that was the gist of it. She recommended that I lose weight (as if I wasn't completely aware of this before) and she gave me some options to help me achieve that goal.

So after deciding to put off starting Clomid for at least 2 months so I can try to lose 20 pounds, calling and telling Ian about the appointment and crying a little, I decided the best thing for me to do was to continue with my Tubo Jam and to try Nutrisystem. It is a lot of money but I figure that a baby is worth it! Just wanted to give an update because I really don't feel like retelling the "I'm too fat" story to everyone! But thanks for everyone's support-it means a lot to me!

'Tis the Season

It is officially Christmas Time! I was your typical crazy Christmas person and I put up all my decorations the day after Thanksgiving. However Ian and I waiting until today to put up our tree. We bought this poor 3 foot tree the first year we were married-it was very cheap and we were poor college students back then. It has probably seen its better days, but it has sentimental value to me. Besides I don't have any room in our tiny apartment for a bigger tree! Now we just need some snow!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this time of year and I thought I would take a minute to write about the things I am grateful for.

My husband-He is the greatest! He is so loving, caring, and supportive of me. I could not ask for anything more. I love him so much!

My family-I am a little prejudice, but I think I have the cutest nieces and nephews and I love spending time with them. I also have the best and coolest sisters! My parents are pretty great too!

My job-I am truly blessed with my new job. I love my boss and the other girl I work with. I really feel like I have found my "home" at this new office. I love going to work now!

The Gospel-I'm not one for sounding cheesy and all, but my life has been so blessed because of the Gospel and I am thankful it!

I could go on and on but I will try and keep this short. But I also want to say I am grateful for my friends, my insurance so we can afford all the doctor visits, and my education. So I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and don't eat yourselves silly! But enjoy a good piece of pumpkin pie for me.

What's Happening Hot Stuff?

It's been a while since I last posted, and even before that my posts weren't all that interesting, so I thought I would give a quick update on what has been happening in our lives.

My new job is going great! I love it! I have been working a few days a week at my old job so I have been working 5-6 days a week. There have even been a few 12 hour days! It's been a long few weeks, but it's been nice to have the money to pay back the student loans! Ian had an interview with a local sports radio show for an internship and he said things went well. They said they will be hiring new interns the first part of the year so he is excited about getting his foot in the door.

I also have an appointment the first part of December so I can start fertility drugs. All of our test came back and we are fairly normal so now we can start the next part of this process. Just pray for me that I don't end up with multiple babies at one time! You never know with the track record of my family and twins!

Ready to Play

The other day Ian told me that he needed to get photoshop for one of his classes and he said that we could get a good deal if we bought it through the school. Well, ever since I have seen the cute things my friends have been creating with photoshop I have been secretly envious of them! So I didn't put up much of a fight (especially after I saw the great deal we got) and I agreed to fork out the money. We just got it today and I am so excited to play around with it! I can't wait to be the next one to post some of my cute creations!

Crafty Girl

As some of you know, I went to a clock party a few months ago and made my own clock. I love my clock and I always get complements on it. So when I heard that Tick Tock Collections came up with a new product I was so excited. They designed a magnet board and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make one! So my sister and I tagged along on a party so we could make them. It was so fun and easy, they walk you through everything! Although I have to admit that the dots were kind of a pain to put on, but I think the final product was worth it! Now I just have to find a picture of us that is as cute as my new board.

New Beginnings

I started my new job today with Dr. S. It was great! It is a brand new office so today we just ordered all the supplies that we will need to run the office. It was actually very nice to get to order what I wanted for the hygiene department instead of using whatever the last hygienist used. I feel so spoiled! He is such a nice guy and I feel so lucky to have gotten the job! And the best part was I was finished by 4pm! No more 9 o'clock nights for this girl!

I am also excited for Thanksgiving. I love this holiday but it kind of gets skipped over because once Halloween is over all the stores focus on Christmas. So last year I went to the Quilted Bear and spent way too much money on wooden turkeys and pilgrims but they just make my door so cute!
