PHOTO SHOOT!!

This past weekend I got to work with a special lady! Lauri! She will be getting Married next month not too much longer. I will have to admit before I go to a shoot I am usually really nervous and I was this time. Thoughts go through my mind doubting myself. Will they like me, will i get a mental block, will the photos turn out okay, will i know what to say,.......so on. But once I got there everything was fine. She was super nice and I had my support group Nathan and my sister!! Lauri looked absoluteley beautiful and I think the photos turned out just how she wants them!! She doesn't want anyone to see them but I will post a few that aren't too revealing just so you can have a sneek peek!!

After the photos Nathan, Jade and I have lunch at Mi Familias in Graham, went to Walmart and then we were going to take Jade to Wichita Falls to see and movie but she just wanted to go back to my house and relax!! I was shocked with that coming from a 9 year old girl!! But we did just went home we all got a little nap in and then had hamburgers for dinner!! We love spending time with Jade and she is so sweet and special to us!! It was nice just to spend a casual weekend with her with no rush!!

I really liked some of this womans points.

Whether you have or are dealing with infertility or you are NOT and NEVER have. We are all different. You may offer your opinion because you are intitled to that but don't TELL someone what to do or how they should do it. It's not your life. You don't know what we are experiancing in our situation, how our emotions are and what we want. It's our life and we are going to live how we feel is right for us and for God. You have had and have the chance to live life, make choices, go through and follow what you want.

As for Nathan and I we have an idea on what we want in our life. Yes with God's help and time we will have it. But don't tell me that, because I already know. We have our faith, we pray as a family, and talk about God.

Not everyone knows what goes on every second of our life. You can think you know all you want but you don't. I know who cares who shows us, And who wants to be a part of our life.

OUR NEW INVESTMENT.....

Well this is the OvaCue Fertility Monitor...looks like this is going to be our next investment. I'm pretty excited! As our family and few friends know we have been TTC for about 9 months. I know many have their opinions and 9 months may not sound long enough to be trying but with encountering problems 9 months is a pretty long time. I have had MC problems for quite a while and after several years of pain and unanswered questions we found I had quite a bit of Endometriosis and had laparoscopic surgery to have it removed. The doctor removed as much of the Endo as her could and scar tissue from cysts I had but I have Endo in my muscle and he said with my age and problems it would likely come back. So instead of wasting $$$ on disposable OTC we are going with this and are going to see how well this helps us out before we proceed with fertility drugs. Keep us in your prayers!

All we need is a little FAITH!!

I just wanted to share all of the pretty crosses that are a small reminder of why I am here, why I have a family, why I have friends, Love, this beautiful world to live on and everything around me!!

Good bye dining room..HELLO Joyful yellow!!

As many of you close to me know I LOVE change. It would almost seem as if I am hardly content with anything staying the same. Especially when it comes to my house. Since we are still in our small "Beginner" home we have to make due with what we have. I am always crafting and creating new things and along with that makeing a HUGE mess in the living room. Since it is just nathan and I we usually eat dinner at our bar in the kitchen or the coffee table (which will change when we have children.) lol.  So instead of having wasted space as a dining room I decided to make it my craft room/ office. My love complains that he doesn't have a room! ha ! In due time hunny! He is usually watching something on T.V I'm not into and I like to listen to my music while I work, so it worked out perfectly me makeing the dining room MY ROOM! I am far from the invision and plan I have for the room in my mind, but it all takes time...and money. Here is a sneak peak...remember I'm not done!!

Before (these are the only photos i had of the room before)

It was some what different

After

Go Cowboys!
