Where I've Been....

Well, Well. Hello There! That is if anyone is still out there. ;)

It has been a very long time since I have blogged so I thought I would stop by and give everyone an update....

Where I've Been:

• 
  
  Busy "raising" 2 teenagers. I use the word "raising" loosely haha. As I briefly mentioned last year, My husband and I decided to move my 2 teenage neices in with us. It has been a huge lifestyle change having a 16 & 17 year old live here. Going from a childless 25 year old to a parent of two teenage girls has been verrrry intresting. It has been a year of ups and downs but overall I think its working out well. There is certainly no shortage of entertainment here in our home, that's for sure!! ;)

  Healing from my TOS injury. My arm has been a real pain in my life over these past few years, and I have had a few major setbacks, but I am finally seeing a improvement. I still can't lift much weight with my left arm, but I'm working my way towards lifting a few pounds with that arm.

  Working in the yard. I've been trying my green thumb a little this spring. My wonderful husband has worked very hard to make our grass look outstanding, so I worked hard on the flower beds, which were non-existent prior to this spring.

  Loving on my Niece and Nephews. My Neice Dayton just turned 9 years old in May. I can't beleive how grown she is. And her little brother are turning 1 & 2 this summer! Whoa! Time flys!







• 
  
  Reading Blogs. Yes, I am still reading blogs despite my lack of devotion to blog myself.

• 
  
  Getting close to the fork in the road. Life has thrown me a lot of major decisions lately and boy oh boy is this "being a big girl" and making "big girl decisions" a bummer!!

  My husbands job has given us the opportunity to make a move to Nashville, but they are also giving us the chance to stay in Memphis. We had our hearts set on Nashville and putting our roots down somewhere new, but we are second guessing things a little. With the housing market the way it is right now, our home is near un-sellable. Not to mention the stress of finding (and agreeing) on where we want to live in Nashville. I think all the stress of moving has just gotten the best of us and we are hoping to stay put, at least for now.

  A baby? Our dream of having a baby seems so distant. It has been 5 long years since we thought we were going to get pregnant and start a big family right away. God has given us way different plans. We have grown up so much in the past 5 years and I am really begining to feel like a stable adult. We have been saving as much as possible and have a small amount of savings set aside for fertility treatments (enough for a few IUI's, unfortunately no where near enough for IVF if needed). I had a check up with my GYNO last week. My insulin looks good, and although my cycles are extremely irregular at least I am still having a cycle. My doctor really wants us to see a specialist and try an IUI or IVF. We have been discussing it alot and I think 2012 will be the year for us to move forward. After 5 years I am more than ready to be a Mom, but I am still not sure if I am emotionally ready to attempt treantments that may fail. I dont know if my heart can take that.

  and maybe letting go of enough fear to try once again for my lifelong dream to be a Mom.
  

I think that sums it up for now. Please leave a comment if you have any questions for me. I'm an open book.
