Today

Today

OK, y’all are amazing.  Joey and I are totally overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and support.  Thank you, thank you EVERYONE.

We’re in a prettty good spot right now.  Our house is clean (super clean, I scrubbed our toilet with my bare hands this morning…not sure why, I just felt like I needed to), Joey’s at the grocery store right now, we currently have three meals in our freezer, and I’m making two more this afternoon.

We are (almost) ready for anything.

OK, lies, we’re not.  But we at least we have food and the trash has been taken out.

Both of my elbows are aching from all the blood I’ve sacrificed in the last few days.  I am so done with doctors and all their poking, prodding and “oh, let’s get some more blood out of you, just to see if you’re still alive” bright ideas.

We think we’re going to go do something “wild and crazy” tonight.  (Read: we may go see a movie at the non-cheap theater.)

Last night, Joey and I fell asleep holding hands.  No matter how bad my elbows hurt, the fact that there’s absolutely no point in putting on any makeup on (it doesn’t stay on very long), and the stress of juggling all the unknowns for the next few days…at least I have him.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
