My Life Back

After a long stretch of multiple jobs, school and infertility I feel like I have my life back.

The first week of April is taking its sweet time getting here, but I am excited about the increased likelihood that we could have a family this year.  I spent some time reading out patriarchal blessings and I am completely confident that the day will come whether this is the first step or not.  I just need to remember to be of good cheer.  Andrew is really looking forward to this and likes the plan we have in place.  He wants to have kids with our genetics (I don't care where they come from as long as they come), so he is really happy about the In-Vitro route. 

Besides the infertility challenge life has been significantly simplified.  I have found that I actually have the energy to cook and Andrew actually gets meals.  I have ONE job and no school. It feels blissful.  Not only that the prospect of spending the summer out in my garden and reading makes me rejoice.  My house feels like it is gradually getting cleaner and cleaner because I take the time to deep clean different areas here and there and it doesn't just build up and up and up. 

Andrew's birthday is this week. I got him a deep fryer.  It is pretty cool.  We made onion rights yesterday with both of the Lee's and they tasted just like Mom's...delicious.  I think that it was good that we got the treadmill for Christmas because I think we will need it after this purchase. 

One part of my life I haven't gotten back into yet is my painting.  Andrew has had me spend all of my evenings working with him in the basement on framing.  I think that summer will lend itself well to that hobby.   FYI we are 96 days into the 180 day school year.
