Happy post-Turkey Day! I know this is a little late, but better late than never right?
Here's another rolling-on-the-floor-laughing one. It's an oldie, but a goodie and it ALWAYS makes me crack up. Enjoy!

I'm hooked!
Jake and I saw Twilight on Sunday in the theater. I went into it with no expectations given that I haven't read the books. I never really read the book before seeing the movie. I usually see the movie first and then read the book afterwards. I read The Other Boleyn Girl after seeing the movie. The only movie I've seen AFTER reading the book was To Kill a Mockingbird in high school.
Anyways, back to the point. Even though there are some that like the book WAY better than the movie, I LOVED the movie. I'm a visual person by nature, so I enjoy movies, art, dance, and the like. I love the story of Edward and Bella and how their journey is a sort of original one. The details about the vampires are way different than in previous novels/movies. I like how the Cullens are portrayed not as monsters, but just a little different than other people (different meaning the vampire part).
After seeing the movie, I of course wanted to read the books. I told Jake I wanted to read them now, and he said "OK"...nothing more. Yesterday I told Jake I was going to go to Barnes and Noble and buy the book to read, but I would wait 'til Christmas in case Santa had other plans. 5 minutes later Jake came up and gave me the book. Apparently he'd been hiding it for Christmas, but decided to give it to me early.
I love the book too! I was reading it 'til I fell asleep and couldn't hold the book anymore. I can't wait to go home and read it some more.

Weekly Video #5
Jake and I went to see this movie yesterday...I can't wait to read the books now.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Here it goes
First off, I want to thank everyone who has read this blog and I'm sorry if my emotional roller coaster has turned you off at all.
Over the weekend, Jake and I have decided that we're going to take a break from trying to have a baby. We weighed everything on our plate that we have right now and it's not really fair to a baby to bring him/her into that kind of world.
I have a curve in my spine. We don't know what's causing it, or if it's treatable. I'm in constant pain and with a baby, that adds extra weight on the spine. I want to get a diagnosis and a method of treatment. I don't want to be a pregnant woman who can't do anything for herself because she's in pain. I also want to lose some weight. I want to get healthy before having a baby. Also, with where we live and our current bills, it wouldn't be fair to either us or the baby.
But the biggest reason is this: I miss Jake. Jake and I decided to start trying 4 months after we got married, shortly after Skyler was born. We had decided to try after a year, but I knew we would need help in the fertility department. We figured the sooner we tried, the better the chance we'd be pregnant by our year mark. Well, last Wednesday was our 18 month wedding mark, and no baby. Of course, there IS blood tests, IUIs, samples, labs, doctor's appts, stress, frustration, tears, etc. Jake and my relationship has been slipping and let's face it...other things are slipping too. I feel disconnected from him, and I hate that. We never really got to enjoy being married and I think this break will be good for us. It'll give us time to save money, pay off debt and concentrate on me feeling better.
Again, thank you to everyone for your support in our journey and we'll call this journey "to be continued..."

Another failure
I found out this morning that our first IUI cycle has officialy failed. I'm not pregnant.
I hate those three words...I'm not pregnant...they suck big time.
I'm sitting here writing this post and can barely see the screen because I'm tearing up so much.
There are so many emotions running through me right now...anger, frustration, hurt, disgust, sadness...
sigh...
