Random Pictures Just For Fun

These are just some pictures of the great view in El Paso. Can't wait to call this place home.

This is the jacuzzi in the master bath in our soon to be new home.

Zeus loves to be loved! Funny how our hair matches though isn't it?

This is Aaron and I on the floor of our "hotel" room watching TV.

Like my blue tips?

The kids just acting up at the mall.

Aren't these just some of the cutest kids in the world?!?!

This is my new bow. Gorgeous isn't it?!

Some nice underwater pictures from Florida. Happy Birthday to me.

Our New Home

This is the house that we have just signed the contract for. This home is 1983 square feet. 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. One "bedroom" is actually a loft which we are turning into a gaming area.
It is an Energy Star home with refrigerated air. Double sinks in master and hall bath. Jetted tub in master bath. Lawn will be landscaped prior to move in.


This is the view from one of our bedroom windows.


This shot was taken from our loft of our seating room.



Obviously, this is the kitchen. We have picked out our stainless steel appliances that will go in right before we move in. The home comes with either an allowance or our choice for stainless steel dishwasher, stove and micro/hood. We upgraded our appliances for a small difference. We still have not picked out our fridge. We have one in mind, but are still doing some comparison shopping.

We are SO EXCITED!!!! El Paso here we come!!!

Catching Up Is Hard To Do

I wanted to start with posting some great pics of my nieces and nephews from when they met up with me in Florida when I was down there while Aaron was in school.

Then here are some pics of random moments of our mini vacation...lol

Aarons birthday watch. He apparently really wanted a Fossil watch, so I got him one.

This is the boat that Aaron and I picked out. Once we get to a place where we can actually own a boat, we plan on buying one as soon as that.

Then we got to work as soon as we got home. We built a bed frame and headboard, bookcases, movie case and still have plenty more planned.

I also had another fertility surgery done (the same one just a different doctor). My specialist did find that my first doctor was right in saying that it is going to be tough for me to ever have children. I only have one tube which seriously decreases my chances of a BFP every month. Then there is the fact that my body doesn't produce the hormones that I need to sustain a pregnancy. I have started my first cycle of fertility treatments. I know that it probably isn't going to happen in one shot, but we aren't going to give up hope just yet.

I think that is about good enough. Not much is really going on here. Though we have gotten word that it looks like we will be moving to Bliss (TX) early next year.

It has been almost a month

I can't believe that I have almost a whole month go by without any updates. I am such a slacker. Well, here goes my attempt at playing catch-up.

1) We had block leave where he went to TN and dropped of our dogs, to TX for Medieval Times, Six Flags, aquarium and just some overall relaxation (also where I got my first positive HPT), then back to TN to spend time with the family.

2) Then we had our 3rd (and my 4th) miscarriage.


3) We got the call that they were going to start the paperwork to get us to TN.

4) We got our bonus and paid off all debt except my car since we have such a low interest rate, and put the rest of it into savings (of course went shopping too). Aaron bought himself a PS3 and a new bow. I got the Cricut Expression that I have been wanting. I also redecorated our "apartment", including new high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and comforter set which Aaron is in love with.

5) We have been spending allot of time with our new friends (well, maybe not so new) Michelle and Colin. Colin is a new friend. Michelle, however, Aaron and I have known for a while. In fact, Aaron and Michelle went on a date a few years back. But I am letting that slide due to the fact that she and I get along so well and have so much in common.


6) Let's see; we also bought some new bowling balls and totes. The employee that measured our hands and drilled our balls also took the time to come out and show us how to bowl better. Thanks to some of his teachings I beat my high score and Aaron even did awesome scoring a 201.

7) Last night was the FreedomFest 4th of July celebration. It was AWESOME!! We went at 1530 and set up our seats and started chowing down on the food bought from various concessions. We started with snow cones, moved on to Gator-on-a-Stick (good stuff, but I still prefer Blackened Gator myself), then came the freshly squeezed lemonade, and then more gator. I got sick from the 106 degree heat about 2 hours into the festivities and had to walk back home to take a cold bath and change out of my "Cowgirl" outfit. I then dressed in a white T-shirt, gray short that I never wear outside and tennis shoes. We made it back in time to hear some of the LOUDEST Cajun band and then CLINT BLACK. That is right. Clint Black came to Fort Polk and treated the soldiers and their families to a free concert. I never knew how talented and funny he was. He told stories and jokes all night and treated us to not only his voice but his skills on the harmonica and drums. It was the best!

8) Aaron also just had to buy himself a new X-Box 360 today with his old one giving him the "red rings of death".

9) Aaron also bought me a new camera last month. BUT...he was to have a camera with him in the field every month to take pictures for his reports (which is how he broke the last camera leading us to buy the new one). So, we will be driving to Alexandria (the closest big city) and checking out Best Buy for another camera for me to keep with me at all times.


10) I also had my first appointment with my fertility specialist. He thinks that my normal OB/GYN messed up so is starting all over...including redoing my surgery. He thinks that he may actually be able to fix me to the point that I may be able to have children on my own. But he won't know til he cuts me open. He said if anything that IVF should work if necessary. Aaron and I are keeping our fingers crossed and just have to bear through the wait. He took about 10 vials of blood from me and one from Aaron for genetic testing. But allot of the tests needing to be run on me requires my blood being sent out. It has been 3 weeks and 2 days since the blood was taken and can take up to 6 weeks. So, we are just waiting for that phone call.

Well, I do believe that about catches me up. Next are some pictures to go along with the updates.




This is Michelle on drums while we all are playing Rock Band.

This is Aaron playing with Jack in the pool that we put out there so that the dogs can stay cool.


This is my high score. This is all thanks to the new ball and the teachings I got from the wise ball driller.

This is Aaron shooting off his new bow behind our house.

This would be Aaron taping me while I am in awe over the wonderful skills of Clint Black.

Speaking of Clint Black.........He is even better looking in person :D

Enough Said

4th miscarriage is taking place now. I do believe that this is Gods way of saying that I am not meant to be a mother. I feel bad for Aaron for being stuck with me, but he refuses to leave. I just don't know if I can keep trying only for us to have to go through this over and over again. And I definitly don't know about paying thousands and thousands of dollars for IVF at a chance of ending up with a baby (or 2 or 3 or 7).

SURPRISE!!!!

Right before Medieval Times....


Now, Aaron and I decided to wait til we found out for sure that everything was alright before telling everyone. It wasn't easy, which is why we are spilling the beans. It just got too hard when it seemed like everywhere we turned we were kinda getting babies/pregnancy rubbed in our faces. So tada...we are 6 weeks.

I wouldn't even make an appointment with my normal OB/GYN until my RE whom I am about to see for the first time on the 18th of June. I was originally going there to start looking at In Vitro. I guess that God decided to let us keep the $8Gs and put it towards a home.

We will see if this is indeed a viable pregnancy and take it from there. We are hoping, praying and even getting blessings in hopes that this is the little miracle that we have been hoping for.

CHECK OUT BOTTOM OF WEBPAGE

Time To Play Catch Up

There has been alot going on since the last time I posted on here.

Well, here is the big fish that I caught when Aaron and I went fishing with a friend. Funny thing is....I am the only one who caught anything worth taking home.

Aaron also bought me the Wii Fit. We only have a Wal-Mart and a Game Stop for this kind of purchase. Both of those stores have been sold out since we have lived here. We check every week for one and we got lucky that one day we went to Game Stop and they just got in 4. We have had some fun playing/exercising on it. The most fun is turning the camera on Aaron when he is on it....lol.
Sadly. after 2 hours of trying to upload the hilarious videos of Aaron on the Fit, I have decided to give up. Just trust me....Aaron looks funny as heck on it.

Let's see....next would be Aaron's reenlistment. In order to get the CSRB bonus he had to reenlist.

Then we got another dog. Yep. we now have 3 very hyper puppies. The couple that we used to hang out with (before they apparently got too good for us) decided that with her being pregnant and working (which she quit a week ago) she couldn't give the chihuahua the attention he needed. Funny thing is that we only had the dog for a matter of days before she quit. She paid $350 for the rat, and I got him for free. Bad thing is that we are only allowed up to 2 dogs on post. So, "Zeus" stays inside most of the time. He has been a welcomed addition though. I don't itch like crazy with him and hold him all of the time. We named him Zeus as a play on words in case you can't tell. It's a lot easier and shorter than having to yell Hercules.

In one month I finally have my first appointment with my Reproductive Endocrinologist. He is practically the only fertility specialist in the state. I checked out his website and it turns out that he does IVF for very very cheap. Seeing as we have already been told that IVF is the only way that we will ever have children of our own, we are definitely keeping our fingers crossed. We know that this doctor with have to take time to go over my OB/GYN records and results from my surgeries as well as do anything that he thinks needs to be done. We are definitely remaining optimistic. We are totally hoping that we will be pregnant by Christmas. Better yet, my birthday.

Forgot to post our new pics

We just had some pics taken. It was done on post and they did your hair, make-up and 1 photo for $25. Any other pics were extra. Though I hate the way they did my make-up and everything, can't beat the deal. Aaron bargained his booty off so that I could get a CD quickly of the photos that were taken. So I thought that I would share them with everyone.
