i just thought i would write a story of our journey to having a baby. lets see we have been trying to have a baby every sents we got married. which makes it 6 years and a month as of right now. we had hoped and pray that we would have concieved on our wedding night but it didnt happen. i think we tried on our own without the help of doctors for like 2 years. when mike got deployed the first time i went to the doctor to see what was going on with my body. that is when i found out i have a thyroid problem and pcos. when mike came home from the first deployment we tried 4 rounds of clomid and it didnt work. so we waited several months before trying again and then mike got deployed for the second time. but the doctor worked with us to try a fertility drug called femara when he came home on his R&R and it didnt work. well we tried another round of femara when the deployment was over and it didnt work (this was all in 2009) so feb 2010 we we to a specialist and he wanted to try clomid again. now i did try to tell him that it didnt work but he really didnt listen to me at least that is how it seemed and as you guessed it, it didnt work out. well they said we had to do the shots. but me and mike just didnt feel like that at that time the shots was for us and we still feel that way. maybe in a year or two we will try the shots but not right now. so we talked about it about and we are going to try to adopt. but we wont get to do that for another year and half so that way we can save up some money. but one way or another we will have a baby one day. just please keep praying for us.
that is our journey to having a baby so far. one day soon i will update you all on our journey again.

just thought i would do alittle update
i just thought i would do alittle update on things. there is a chance that we maybe putting the adoption on hold for about a year and half. we are going to save money up for it. we found out that just the home study was going to be $1000 and right now we just cant afford that. maybe in a year and half we will have the money and not so many bills piled on top of us. this month things are going to be really tight. well maybe not to tight but tighter then it had been. we have extra bills that we are having to pay this month but we will get though it. let me see what all we will be doing this month besides paying bills. we will be unpacking and getting settled. we also have my birthday. dont know what we will be doing for my birthday. probably just sitting around at home and that is okay with me. just as long as i can spend the day with mike. that is all that really matters to me. that is pretty much all we will be doing this month. maybe next month will be alittle better but we will see. i hope you all have a good month and that you all stay cool in this heat.

the move to texas
the move to texas
the move to texas went good i guess. we left va on july 9. we went to s.c. for one night. we was going to meet up with a friend but she was busy. when we found out she was busy we decided to go on with the traveling. we drove all the way to auburn, al where we stayed for one night. then we traveled on to red bay, al where we spent a week with the family. we didnt get out visit with people because we both was tried of traveling and wanted to rest but we did have a cook out for the family to visit us and no one really showed up. the only ones that showed up was a cousin and his family. my parents, my brother and his family, and my sister and her family. everyone should have showed up because we had a good time. i guess they expected us to go visit them but if they had done all that traveling and knew they had like 12 to 13 more hours of traveling to do they wouldnt want to go visit anyone to. okay enough about that. on monday 19th of july we left al and started the rest of our trip to texas. the trip went good. we got LA about 5 or 6 that evening where we decided to stop for the night. if i am remembering correctly it was LA where we got into the really heavy rain and what looked like it was going to come up a good storm but it really didnt storm it just rained really heavy. we got up the 20th of july and finished up the rest of our travel. we got to the hotel we was going to stay at until we found a place to live well i forgot the time that we got in lol. we stayed in a hotel until like the 23 or 24th of july. we had went looking for a house on 21st. i think we looked at about 5 houses. was going to look at 6 but we couldnt find the 6th house so we decided to decided from the 5 we had looked at. well we decided not to go with one because the floors look like they was falling apart. it looked like the laminated on the wood floors had gotten wet and it was coming up. we had picked this one house that had like two dinning rooms and living rooms but the rental company that had that house kept giving us a run around on things. first it was they had to wait for our renting history info. then it was we have that info but the person that handles all the app is on the phone and she will get to it after she gets off the phone. then it was she was at lunch and she will get to it when she got back and then it was oh we just got your renting history info. so we got tired of it that and went to any rental company. dont get me wrong we love this house to. i think it only took like 5 minutes to get approved. we are slowly getting settled. it will take us awhile but we will get there. i tell you what we kept getting a run around with the phone company to. our phone and internet was suppose to got turned on july 28th but we got a call say that it was delayed that they would get to it by late that evening or the first thing on the 29th. well the 29th rolled around and no one showed up. so we called them back and they said that someone showed up and there was no one home and they left a paper on the door. well someone was home all day that day and there was nothing left on the door. so the phone company said they will get someone out on the 30th between 9 and 10. well at 10 when no one showed up we called them back. one person said that it was 10 to 11 then other one said it was because we lived in a gated community which we dont (but i kind of wish we did lol). then another person gave us a wrong address that was showing up and then another person said it was going to be between 10 and 12. so we gave them til 12 and then when no one showed up we called back and they told us it was going to be between 12 and 1. so mike just told them to cancel it that we would get the internet from the cable company. so he called the cable company and now we have internet yay lol.
well that is it for now but i will try to update again later. i hope you all are doing good.
