Time for catch up...

Whew, a lot has happened since I last posted.

My birthday was a few weeks ago and I turned the big 28!! Every year I always celebrate my birthday so once again I threw myself a birthday party. It was a huge success. My friends came out of the woodworks and family that I haven't seen in ages or have only seen lately at funerals. I had an awesome time and a fabulous birthday.


My best friend from 15 yrs ago. We found each other on myspace. Technology is awesome!















Me and my momma at my party!














My aunt took me out to dinner for my birthday and this is her making them sing Happy Birthday to me. She even got up and sang with them, lol.














Me and my bestie again at dinner :)














My sister and boyfriend and their 10 mth old baby moved in with us 2 weeks ago. I love having my sister around but even better I'm spending more time with my nephew. He is such a doll and I love being an auntie and I love to spoil him. This will be his first christmas and I'm still trying to decide what to get him.


Here's my little chubbers.






































Yesterday at church the service was about the benefits of being a child of God. And let me tell you I so needed to hear that. For so long I always thought I was being punished for stuff I did and yesterday I finally had that "aha" moment and realized that everyone makes mistakes and God forgives me no matter what I did wrong. Now it's time to turn my life around and stop blaming myself and move on.


Life just can't get any better right now :)

Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago my ever so talented sister in law Kari did some family photos of my hubby and I. And some headshots for me for my website. This 1st one I just ordered a 16x24 canvas gallery wrap for my living room. I cannot wait for it to come in :)

Weekend Fun....

I have so much to catch everyone up on. Well after my pretty much nervous breakdown Kevin's work schedule finally subsided. And I think that's one of the reasons why I broke down like that. He is always home and this was the first time in a long time that I hadn't seen him in like weeks. After a long discussion we have decided for the both of us to go back to the doctor and get re-checked out and for me to go back on fertility meds. Kevin for the longest time was never gung-ho about having kids but he finally admitted he is ready. I could never be any happier hearing those words come out of his mouth.

So on a side note every year my dad and I attend at least 1 University of Michigan game together but this year I found 4 tickets. So me, Kevin, my dad and his friend all went to the game this past Saturday. I scored us 3rd row seats! It was so awesome. But 2 years ago I got my dad and I 1st row seats but whatever :) I love spending time with my dad since I don't see him a lot and it was Kevin's first time at the Big House. I am a huge college football fan and Kevin not so much, weird huh? So here are some pics that I took with my point & shoot since I didn't want to lug my big camera around, especially since they banned all bags entering the stadium.

Hard time...

I am having a really hard time right now. I cry sitting here writing this. It's really hard for me to oepn up but I feel that is the best way to get things off my chest and make myself feel better. My birthday is coming up and the hubby asked me what I wanted. I looked right at him and told him "a baby". So he said we better start working on it, lol. We've been down this road before and nothing worked so we just left it in God's hands. Even though I'm turning 28, ya it's not old but I feel like my time is running out. I've been getting that pregnancy itch and can't get it out of my head. It also doesn't help I had a maternity session with a girl I went to high school and she just got married 6 mths ago and is already pregnant. How does that happen? I was so very happy for her but so sad for myself deep down. Kevin even offered for me to go back to the dr's and get back on fertility meds and he would go and get checked out again. But I'm not sure if I want to go down that road again. I'm ready to have a baby and want to experience of being pregnant and giving birth and everything in between. Everywhere I go women are always complaining about being pregnant but they don't realize that little old me sitting next to them can't experience that and it breaks my heart. I can't read what I'm writing behind these tears, I need to go and cry myself to sleep.
