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
