My sweet husband had these gorgeous long stem pink roses delivered to my work yesterday. I was having a bad day but the funny thing is he didn't know I was until after he had ordered the flowers. I wish you could smell and see them in real life. What a sweetheart Adam is. I think I'll keep him.

Adam and I went to the Minnesota state fair last night. It was so busy and while we were there we saw some smoothies that looked so good. They were really expensive so we decided to go home and make our own. Adam smoothie had ; peach yogurt, peaches, raspberry sorbet, ice, pineapple and pina colada mix. Mine had ; peaches, peach yogurt, figs, pineapple, ice, and pina colada mix. They were so yummy and let me tell you everything tastes good when you use a pineapple as a cup! o and this picture was taken at like 11:30 last night so I look tired and Adam looks crazy lol!!! (s0 lets pretend that we don't really look this ugly all the time)

Well sorry its been so long. I can't say I have been that busy .... I'd say more lazy. Well any hoo this last round of clomid made me have 2 follicles! yahoo!!!!!!! I was so surprised because last time I had to keep coming back to the doctor to have ultrasounds to see if any follicles would grow. But this time it was the first ultrasound after clomid and kaboom 2 awesome looking follicles. So they had me do my ovidrill injection (in my stomach :( good thing I'm not to squeamish) right at 5 that day. That shoot hopefully made me ovulate and now I'm on the 2 week wait to see if I'm prego. They also have been having me do progesterone which makes me have HOT flashes. Holy cow I thought clomid hot flashes wore bad. Thank goodness all of the Lady's at my work have to the AC cranked up. Waiting 2 weeks seems like an eternity. I wish that a woman could tell right away that she is pregnant. I have been googling it to see if any ladys knew before they waited tell their Aunt flow was late. Some people acutely did know. But unfortunately for 99% of us we have to wait. I figure I have been waiting this long and I guess I will survive. Heck! I don't really feel any different and I have been doing my best to not get my hopes up at every little cramp.

We also just recently put an offer on a house!! Sadly the last 2 we put offers on got better offers and we didn't get them. I hope hope hope we get this one. I feel like maybe we didn't get the other ones because this next house is the one for us. I love it and I can totally think of all the cool paint colors and improvements we could do. Lately Adam and I have been going on dates to Home Depot, Menards and Lowes (how romantic!) to price out how much it would cost to fix things in these houses. We having been looking at houses that just need a little love and a fresh coat of paint. I am definitely going to take before and after pictures of any house we get. That was one mistake I didn't do with our last one. I am so lucky to have a husband that can fix almost anything. We both had parents that had rental houses while we were growing up and we learned a lot about remodeling. I like to think we are pretty handy and the feeling of accomplishment when something that was once ugly is transformed into something beautiful is priceless.

I don't know if I mention that I was called to be a Mai Maid teacher in young womens. I have really loved this calling. The girls are so amazing and I look forward to the lessons that I teach them. Today our lesson was on " preaching to gospel " and we had a great time learning the things Heavenly father wants us to do in spreading the gospel. The church has recently put out some new TV and radio commercials about Mormons. I know they are only doing it in select states and luckily MN is one of them. They give me cold chills every time I hear or watch one. At the end of the commecials they ask you to go to mormon.org to learn more. Mormon.org is this way cool web site that lets you as a member make a profile and share your thoughts about the church. Also you can go and read about tuns of other Mormons. It is so cool and I am so excited that the church as organized another way to spread the gospel. Our Realtor found out we were LDS and he asked us about the commercials and it gave us the perfect opportunity to share a little about us and what we believe. I am so grateful to Heavenly Father! He gives me so many opportunity's to strengthen my testimony.

Lacy came to visit a few weeks ago. The 3 of us had a great time. We had a ruff start because there was a tornado warning the first night she flew in. But we survived. We went swimming,tanning,to the zoo, out to eat, to eclipse, shopping, to a theme park, the science museum, and a bunch of other fun stuff. I love my little lacy bug so much and I am so glad she came. I miss her !! I miss everyone.

Well I am now on my second round of clomid. It gives me hot flashes! I have been waking up in the middle of the night dying cuz I am so stinking hot. I feel like even my toes are sweating. The first round did almost nothing. I only produced 2 follicles and they really didnt go much bigger then all of the cysts on my ovaries. So here we go again round 2 first provera so I can have a period and then clomid. I have had some beasty nurses and some nice ones. I have started learning there names so If I have questions (which is often) I can ask for a nice one.
Adam and I are still house hunting. We found a few we like but we are cautious because we don't want to get in to far over our heads. I did get a car finally after 5 months. Its a electric blue 05 chev cobalt. Its a automatic! Yahoo no more driving our truck through bumper to bumper traffic. Its like first gear is too fast and you have to keep pushing in the clutch and shifting into first and then out and then in and then out and in! Its madding! But now at least I have an automatic. And its a color I love , it has automatic door locks and windows and that is a huge step up from the old green avocado car I used to have. I cant wait to have a little baby in the back. A car seat is gonna fit perfect!

Well as some of you know we have been seeing a fertility specialist. I just found out today that I have PCOS ( poly cystic ovarian syndrome). I am really bummed. But we are going to try clomed for the next few months... I hope it works! I am trying my best not to loose hope and also not to get my hopes up to much. I keep thinking that I couldn't possably want a baby any more then I do right now. But then more time goes by and I want one more and more. I have been having blood test and doing all sorts of pills and I just keep thinking that it will be all worth it in the end. I hope that it doesn't take us to much longer. I wont complain when i get morning sickness, or have an aching back, stretch marks, and what ever else comes with being pregnant. I will just be so happy and thankful.

Last weekend Adam and I got sick of sitting around the house. So we got on line and found some really cool trails up north. We hit one little snag when my oil plug fell out and all of my oil drained out. We had to go to a town near by and get a new one. It was so nice to get out and ride hard. We were so hot afterward we took a dip in the lake. It felt great!
