Moving to CA?

Tim's soon to be old boss came up today and approached Tim about taking over a store in California?!?!
It would be another big promotion for Tim; with a store volume that is almost four times what his store in Prescott is!
Thankfully, he declined. Whew.
Hopefully the next promotion opportunity for Tim will be back in the Phoenix area.

Round two...

We finished round two of treatment this month and am disappointed to say that the results were not good. No production of follicles at all. So, time for more pills, more shots and more doctor's appointments.
I was telling a good friend that I'm already ready to give up and she gave me some great advice (although it was about a difficult situation she is going through, it gave me the motivation I needed for myself). She said to try harder and prove to everyone that I can get pregnant and have a baby. Here's hoping that it will stand true for us both :)

San Diego!

We just returned from a very quick trip to San Diego for our friends Blake & Necia's wedding. We decided to fly in early to spend a day at Sea World- since neither of us had been in a very long time!
Sea World was fun and the wedding was beautiful. Congrats to Blake & Necia!

With Shamu (kind of)

I held a starfish!

Company!

We had our first house guests of the year last weekend! Tim's dad and stepmom came up on Sunday and my parents came up on Monday. Tim BBQ'd a fabulous shish-kabob lunch for all of us and we got to use some of our new dishes we received as wedding gifts (see photo above of our monogrammed Pottery Barn dishes!!).

We love having company and are looking forward to a big July 4th weekend party!

Making Babies

We knew before we got married that we wanted to have babies as soon as possible! (Let's face it... I'm not a spring chicken anymore!)

However, for us, baby-making isn't "fun". I've known for years that I have PCOS; poly cystic ovarian syndrome, which means that I don't ovulate. So, getting me pregnant involves drugs, shots, more drugs, more shots, dr's appointments, more shots and other not so fun things! (see below for our baby making kit!)

We started our "process" quickly after returning from the wedding cruise and after four weeks of nervousness and excitement, we found out it didn't work the first time (the success rate is 18%).

So... on to round two we go...

A little more than a month and still going strong...

So we've been married 39 days now and things are still great (despite the fact that I'm 1500 miles away for six days...).

Tim is doing great at Best Buy and acheived a bonus for his ENTIRE store for fourth quarter sales and profitability results. Go Tim!

I am chugging away in real estate- still selling mostly in Mesa and Gilbert. I am fortunate to have several listings and several great Canadian buyers. My goal for the next month or two is to try to focus on promoting my cake business in Prescott. Fingers crossed!
