A New Fertility Update

I just wanted to write a quick update, since a lot has happened. A few short months ago, things felt and seemed pretty hopeless. Then, I went to a doctor appointment with Austin and we got the best news!!! I couldn't believe it. I am usually pretty optimistic, but I had let everything get to me and was expecting the worst. All of a sudden I could see a light at the end of the tunnel! So, I scheduled my surgery, and as some of you know, already had it about a week ago. It's been a somewhat rough recovery. (I kinda expected to be jumping around, back at work and the gym a few days later...that didn't happen.) However, it's been totally worth it. The prognosis is good and there is nothing left to do but get our baby makin' on!!! Ha ha, so wish us luck and keep your fingers crossed.

I also wanted to thank my sisters, mom, my whole family really, for helping me when I've needed it and for the meals and comfy pajamas. You guys are the best! Another thanks to neighbors and friends for the food, presents and flowers. You all keep me going and remind me how blessed I am!

Snow, snow and more snow...

Like everyone else, we found ourselves almost snowed in a couple of weeks ago. It was kind of fun, but a ton of work...for Austin at least, ha! Poor Austin had to shovel snow like five times a day for 4 or 5 days in a row. I got to just admire the beautiful stuff from the window. Now he knows how it feels. I got stuck doing it last year since he was out of town. I get the feeling we'll have a snow blower next year. : ) hee hee.

Look at that wall of snow he shoveled! Keep in mind he is 6'1". What a man!! Thanks honey.

This next picture is of our neighbors roof top. It is flat so it just accumulated all the snow. It's hard to tell without any perspective, but that's like a foot and a half and the snow was still falling strong!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I found myself surrounded by my family and closest friends throughout the holidays and cannot possibly have asked for anything more.
I wanted to take a moment to express my thanks to all of you for your friendship and love. I couldn't expect to have better friends, a more loving family and in-laws than that I have. I LOVE you all! Thank you for blessing mine and Austin's life so much and making us feel so loved.
Austin and I also want to express our deepest gratitude for the gospel in our lives and the guidance and influence it provides. We are so grateful at this time of year, and every time for our savior and all that we have been given and blessed with.

You Are Green Lights

Your holidays are a time of rest and solace. You take time to reflect on the year that's passed. You also enjoy connecting with friends and family you've lost touch with. The holidays are your opportunity to remember what's important in your life.
