Do you want to win a ROLL OF QUARTERS to use at the QM? Here are the ways to do so!
~RSVP to me directly or through the facebook event page
~Bring someone that I DIDN'T personally invite (if you bring TWO people you'll get entered two more times, and so on!)

Tracy is also doing a drawing for a roll of quarters. To qualify for her drawing all you have to do is bring school supplies!!

And, are you wanting to know how close we are to our $10,000 goal (including the $2500 match from CFC)?!?! I haven't updated the thermometer yet... But... we are down to needing ONLY $1857!!!!!!!! Can you believe it?!

We are SO CLOSE to our goal! We have HIGH hopes that the Quartermania will earn us $800-1000. HIGH HOPES. We won't be disappointed if we don't hit that mark, because every dollar helps. But we're crossing our fingers!!!!!!

Remember, we STILL have the garage sale going on in August!! We will collect your stuff ANY TIME!! Get with me and we can work something out to get all of your stuff to the drop off point :)





Now, for the latest update on the IVF journey itself... If you are on our Facebook, you've likely already seen the news. If not... Are you ready for it??? Are ya?!?!


Friday I called and BOOKED OUR CONSULT APPOINTMENT with our doctor of choice! When I called I didn't expect the first appointment available to be the Dr that I wanted. I was prepared for disappointment but was willing to take the first available appointment... It just so happened that the first available appointment was with the doc we wanted AND we were put on the waiting list for an earlier appointment if someone cancels! I am SO excited and scared and nervous and happy and every other emotion imaginable! Danny? Well he's just happy we could get in as early as we are....

So. August 29th, at 10 am we will be meeting with our doctor!!!

Tests will have to be done following that appointment, which will put our IVF month most likely in October.
WHICH IN TURN MEANS... If it works, of course, that my due date would be THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!


It's amazing what a difference a year can make. I have tried to imagine what could possibly be happening a year from TODAY and it brings me so much joy... And a tad bit of fear. Which everyone has said is only natural. HAHAHA. And in reference to that... I found the best PIN ever. It hit the nail on the head...

And yes, we want a baby more than I am afraid of the IVF shots, the IVF sonograms, the IVF blood draws, and the fact that I will be a "real mom" as Faith calls it. There will be no every-other-weekend plans. Life will change. But it will change for the better. This is what we want and we will do whatever it takes... obviously!

Again we have to THANK YOU ALL a million times for all you've done for us! Because again, none of this would be possible without you! <3
