Warning: Photo Overload!

Well, I'm feeling pretty discouraged today. I just got back from the Dr. and the PT was a big fat negative. :( Ill be OK though. God truly blessed me with such a sweet husband. He always has words of encouragement for me. Sometime I need some of his positivity to rub off on me. So here we go on to another month.

On a lighter note we just got back yesterday from a much need vacation. It was defiantly last minute. David came home Thursday and told me that he was off until Tuesday so Friday morning while David fished with a friend I packed for our trip(see I'm such a good wife!). Around 5:00 That afternoon we were headed to Arkansas! We drove all the way up to north west Arkansas stopping at state parks on the way to enjoy to beauty. We saw damage from the recent tornados that tore through Arkansas. This was a house that was completely distroyed.

This was a church fellowship hall.
Remember to pray for the families devastated by the Tornadoes on Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi

Since Branson, MO was only 30 min from were we were staying we hit up a few shows. Ive always thought Branson was for older people but it was so much fun! We went to the Dixie Stampede. Just another creation from the great Dolly Parton.
They dont let anyone have cameras inside. We were a lot closer than this pic.

They had a heard of buffalo run through in one part.

There were awesome stunt riders!

We also went to a wax museum.

A little update on the baby front. I went in Monday to get my monthly blood test to check my progesterone level. This month we are trying a progesterone supplement. The nurse called me yesterday to tell me that my progesterone was awesome and she cant wait to see me next week. They have never called with good news like that so I am praying like crazy that this is the month. (If its God's will of course). So I go in next Tuesday to take the test. (If aunt flow hasn't shown her ugly face by then.) I will keep you posted on what happens. Hopefully Ill have good news!

"I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad and my tongue shouts his praises!
My body rest in hope.
For You will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow you Holy One to rot in the grave.
You have shown me the way of life and
you will fill me with joy of your presence"
Acts 2:25-28

This is how I feel right now. I am so over joyed with his presence! I wish that I could stay this way forever. I'm so looking forward to church tonight and spending time with awesome Godly women.

This week I went to some talent shows and watched some of my favorite kiddos perform.

First I went to My nephews talent show

I saw Parker

Loren

and Braeden

He really got into the funky chicken!

Then I went to see my Bff's daughter, Kylie. She sang and danced but my stupid camera acted up and none of the pictures of her turned out. All the ones that Asher took of me and himself did. (Of course)

Silly Boy!

My Strange Addiction

You know that show "My Strange Addiction" where people are addicted to wired things, like eating glass and sleeping with a hair dryer? We'll if I was on that show my addiction would have to be Hobby Lobby. I am completely addicted to it and cannot go to Tyler without going there. I know it sounds harmless but I haven't even told you the bad part yet. I cant just go in and look at a few things and leave. I have to go in and look at EVERYTHING. I go down every isle sometimes more than once and I have never went in there without buying something. My husband cringes when he hears that I went. We'll today I went to Tyler (which is an hour away) for a doctors appointment only to discover that its not until next week. Grrr! So I could completely waste the day so of course I had to go to Hob Lob! I spent forever in there! My parents 40th anniversary is coming up and Ive decided that I'm throwing a party for them. I spent my day digging in all that clearance items for picture frames and decor for there party. I ever took pictures of thing that I wanted but wasn't sure about just yet.

Just some proof of what a crazy person I am and that's not even half of them! I did make it out just spending $20 so I think I did pretty good.

Coming in a close second is Etsy. I could (and have) spend all day on etsy. I love finding weird cool things.

It amazes me how talented people are.

Dress Pattern

I bought a dress pattern today. All I have sew so far are baby dresses but Ive made up my mind that I am going to make something for me
This is the pattern. I couldn't make the picture any bigger without it being way blurry. I'm starting off simple though. Nothing too complicated. We'll see how it goes.

Playing Catch up

Someday I will start blogging more...maybe someday when I'm a stay at home mommy. haha! Update on the house: There was a hang up and the previous owners owed back taxes, the IRS had to get involved and it turned into a BIG mess! We were supposed to close at the beginning of April and we still haven't. The good news is the IRS finally released our paper work to the title company. God has really been teaching us patience! For about three years now our patience has been tested more than we ever imagined but I know if we just stay faithful to God then we will come out of this stronger than ever. Well, since the last time I blogged I graduated and passed my written state board test. I still have to take my practical in the beginning of June. I have a job lined up at Elite salon here in my little town. I'm pretty excited about that since my best friend's brother owns it and I love him to death! Also my friend will be working with me! I'm excited I love her like a sister and she is such a good christian woman.Wow this made me realize how bad I need to take pictures! This is the only one that I could find of the both of us! It was Halloween so excuse the hippie and gypsy attire.

In the baby department there's still no luck. Ive been going to the Dr twice a month. Once for blood work and then for a pregnancy test. If its negative which it has been the last tree months then we talk about our new game plan and adjusting meds and if its positive then...well I don't really know yet. lol. This June will be three years that we have been trying for a little one. Crazy! I know! We are so much more patient then we used to be. I have a peace about it now that I used to not have. I love my Dr. Shes awesome! Sometimes I feel like shes more upset than I am when we get a big negative. David and I have also had to make a big decision lately. We have decided to leave our church home of three years and join a different church. This was a hard decision for us since we were so involved and had formed so many relationships with people there. We are just so hungry for God's word and so ready to be used for his will! We really prayed about it and feel like God is calling us back to our old church. I feel a little sad that I don't get to see all the kids Ive taught over the years in child care grow up but at the same time I'm so excited to see what God has in store for us at this church!
