Smiley Faces, Pumpkins, Chocolate Babies & Football-- that's this life I love!

This past week has been a really fun week for me.



 Have I mentioned lately how much I love my friends!? I am in a really great place of friendships, something that has not always been in my life & I am so grateful for it! OK enough of the sappy talk...

I decided to go at this baby process a little harder. I'm not gonna get all into the details, if you know me well enough to care about reading my blog, than you get it! ;) Baby making just doesn't come easy for us, don't get me wrong we have lots of good times in the making; the baby just never seems to happen- LOL, ok that was TMI! For a decade now my doc has said that I don't ovulate "properly"... blah blah blah... Once you get married people ask, when you gonna have a baby, then you have one & they then ask, when you gonna have another?! Oh Geesh! I heard a great answer to that question in church the other day-- "You know what, I have no idea & I am totally ok with that, because I know the one who does know!" That totally described where I have been. With getting to that point, I have a new determination to figure out what the docs cannot. I am hitting the charts hard! I prepared myself for what would be a long frustrating journey. Went out to buy my ovulation test yes I buy in bulk - lol!  I think the cashier was a little worried about me purchasing so many test! ;)

Testing Day 1- No smiley face. But I was prepared for that. Gave myself a good pep talk & moved on.
Day 2- Could it be? For the first time ever!!! I got a smiley face! I was so happy but thinking, maybe the test is wrong, there is no way, that was so easy.
Day 3- another smiley face!!!
Yes, I had to take a picture. You have no idea how exciting this was for me!


To save you all the details... NO, I do not know if I am pregnant but I am closer than I have been in a long time. There is such a relief just to know that everything is working properly just as God designed it to! So say a little prayer for us :)

Aside from baby making excitement, Karly & I met one of my friends from college & her little man at Pumpkinland. It rocks!!! We had never been and I have to say that we will be making that a tradition! SO much fun!







One night this week we also got to visit the magic house with Parents As Teachers. Karly & I had a super fun time. She now loves the grocery area, the ball that makes your hair stand up, & the baby hospital. However, we have made the conclusion that Karly will adopt her own children or marry a black man because she only likes the "chocolate" babies. LOL! 


Even a 2 yr old could do a better job in office! lol!
We finished up the fun week with watching Levi play football. it was a very cold game, but Kar did not care one bit as long as she could see her boys! "Mom mom, I can't wait to be a cheerleader. I yell GOOO Levi, GOOO Wy Wy. I'll be good at it!"-- Karly. She really lacks confidence, huh? :)

So that was my week in a nutshell. We have a lot happening & so much to be thankful for. Life is good.
