UPDATE and PRAYERS

Sorry I have not updated lately... I have been sweeped up in NEW MOO.N Mania. I will update on that soon, because I have so many Avery stories to go along with it.

Also please if you can spare some prayers for Christy (Challenge the future) because she triggered this weekend after a horrible week or hormone troubles (they were not cooperating). Pray this is her sticky baby!

Love you Christy!!!!

History of us

I do not think I ever posted about how I met my DH and how our relationship unfolded. So I think I will...

I met DH at a neighborhood pool, he was a lifeguard there and I was a pool rat. He was 18 and me just 14. I hung out with him all summer and I secretly had a crush on him. He asked me out on a date with my Mom's permission first and of course I said yes. I just swooooned over him. Keep in mind I was alot more mature then most 14 year olds. Always have been. Plus my mom knew him well, she was on the pool's board.

After out first date we saw each other every night for 1 month. I was soo in love, I got butterflies every time I kissed him and holding his hand was like magic (remember I was 14). Sept came and he went off to school. We called each other several times week and he would come home, but it did not work out, he was too into partying so I broke it off. (after 6 months of dating)

We both moved on he had girlfriends and I had boyfriends (one in which wanted to marry me) but we always saw each other at local carnivals and he had a friend who was friends with a girlfriend of mine so we would see each other at parties etc. So in a way we always kept in touch.

The summer I graduated he suddenly showed up on my door step claiming that he was down the street at a friends house and thought he come by to see me. I chatted with him informed him I was going to college locally and I had a boyfriend. He seemed unfazed by the boyfriend part of my life and asked me for my number and if he could call me if there was any parties going on locally. He also informed me he dropped out of college and was local again. Secretly I wanted him to call me but again I was in a relationship.

We went from August to January not speaking, I did not hear from him or see him out. At Christmas time my boyfriend and I broke up, literally 5 days later I get a call from him about a party his friend was having and I could bring anyone I like. I dragged two of my friends to the party with me... it was so much fun and I felt like we have always hung out b/c the conversation went so smoothly. That night in his drunken stupor, he told me that he has always thought of me and wanted a relationship with me that he was always in love with me. I actually felt the same way... crazy huh? To this day we have never spoke of that night and if we did he would claim he never said those things.

We started dating and the first three years were filled with a lot of partying, one DUI for him, lots of LOVE, a doggie we still have, living together in my apartment at school (roommates probably not happy about that) and a break up over something illegal he was doing. During the break up I started seeing someone else during that 1 month apart. Of course it made him insanely jealous (he will not admit it). He got clean and realized I was the one.

We rekindled out relationship after I set some ground rules on how our relationship would unfold (no I am not controlling) it was just too much for me to go back to the way it was.

Soon after we bought a house (well I did - he moved in) and we got engaged after being together 5 1/2 years (we do not count the break up b/c well we were not together for 1 month - we call it our blip)

after getting married we had Avery and then the rest is history... we have been together for 12 years and been though alot but came out on top.

I fell in love with DH all over again when we had our children and seeing him with them is the most amazing thing.

My DH is the most supportive and caring person I know. He is my best friend and may tease me alittle (most recently it is about my new twilight obsession did I tell you Rob Pattin.son is my new boyfriend) He puts up with whatever crazy idea I am cooking up. Puts up with all my EBAY stuff around the house. He tried to support me the best he could during treatment even though he did not quite understand my desire. He actually takes very good care of me. We hardly ever fight probably because he gives into me easily. He is very laid back but sometimes can have a short temper and I have to bring him back to reality.

And while he is not the most romantic person and sometimes I like to wring his neck, I can not imagine life without him. He is truly the love of my life. and I think part of me actually knew this at 14.

LOVE to hear about how everyone met their husbands.

Another response!!!

The one nurse at my RE's office emailed me... They decided to utilize my offer to help out.

They are going to refer people to me that want to talk to someone one on one for extra support and for new patients who want a past patient referral. Most for the people they plan to refer are secondary IF patients but they also will refer primary too.

So excited!!! Hope this leads to other things, like My Mom said Baby Steps.
