Well, it’s been the better part of a year since I’ve written a blog, so I figured I’d give a little update. First of all and possibly most importantly, Steve and I are doing great. I still can’t get enough of that guy and love him more with each passing day (gag, I know). He’s been back at Reliable for a year now and having the nights and weekends with him has been absolutely wonderful. It’s hard to believe we spent 3 years together working opposite shifts and having only a handful of full days together per year. I think I could spend all day every day with him and never get tired of it. In fact that’s always my favorite part about vacations. I’m very proud to be his wife and thank God that we’re best buddies.
For those who don’t know we’ve been trying to start a family. I went off birth control the month after we got married somehow knowing that it was going to take some time. That means we have been trying to conceive for almost 2 years. Steve is handling it well, I am very impatient. I have been temping/charting though not consistently. In other words I don’t do it every month. I keep thinking that if we take a break it will happen. I even started playing hockey again with the notion that if I did I’d inevitably turn up pregnant. No luck. We have gone to the doctor, but it turned out to be rather expensive and I need to pay my bill before I can return for more advice. I asked them to put me on Clomid, but they won’t until Steve gets checked out. That’s going to be another couple hundred dollars and we keep putting it off. I decided not to be more aggressive about fertility meds because it teeters on the edge of going against my faith. I try to remind myself that it will happen when it’s time and that God has a plan for us. But again, I am very impatient. It drives me nuts now when I hear of someone getting pregnant by accident especially if they don’t want a baby. It also makes me crazy when someone tries for a month or two and BAM! So, basically pregnant women are currently my arch rivals. I just started on new insurance that will pay 50% on fertility treatments so I am ready to get back to the doctor. I want to go to my OB/GYN this time instead of my regular physician. We’ll see what happens.
So, how about those Red Wings? Tomorrow is game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and I am quite excited. I love game 7s! It’s do or die. Someone will he lifting the Cup at the Joe tomorrow without exception. I guess game 7 sort of makes it like a Superbowl because it’s coming down to just one game. Steve and I are going to Hockeytown Café tomorrow after I get off work. It’s going to be a great time!
Speaking of the Red Wings… We were supposed to go to the Pinery today but decided not to because we just couldn’t miss this. I’m bummed because for 2 years in a row now we’ve booked out favorite site then cancelled. I was at least smart enough this year to change the reservation instead of canceling. We plan to camp at the end of August this year right before out 2 year anniversary. That’s pretty cool because the Pinery is where we went after the wedding. It was our pre-honeymoon I guess you could say since we went to Key West a couple months later. The first time Steve took me to the Pinery was the first time we got to spend a weekend together. That was the weekend we became inseparable. He also proposed to me up there. I told him the only thing left is to there is to conceive! :o)
So, really in the past year there has been nothing major to update. Work has been up and down. I got a “promotion” in December with the promise of a raise and title but really all I got was more work to do. Since Eric has moved to Dependable and I took on the responsibility of overseeing another account I barely have time to breathe at work some days. I like being busy and all but I hate the feeling of being overwhelmed. There are several instances each day where I am doing so many things at one time that I can’t even remember what I was doing. It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to keep up with answering the phone. In addition to these three accounts which would take a good five hours to take care of alone; I am one of the main people answering the damn phone. We have only one person whose primary responsibility it is to answer the phone. We used to have 3 or 4. When that person is busy (which is very, very often) I have to pick up the phone. This takes me away from whatever task I was involved with and as soon as I am able to remember where I was, I have to pick up the phone again. Things that I could normally get done in 1 hour take two. It gets very stressful sometimes and I can’t provide as good of service as I’d like because I always have something else that needs to be done. It’s frustrating. Sorry… /rant
On a positive note, I was informed yesterday that Chase got all As and Bs on all of his report cards this year. I’m so incredibly proud of him! What a good little man he is turning out to be! I really need to get him over here for a weekend. Now, if only I can find a weekend that is not already spoken for…
