The latest dr. news.....

I have been in constant contact with dr. m lately. It feels like I call that office once a day(or at least once a week:)...oh, because I do! He had requested, 3 weeks ago, that I track my temperatures using a basal thermometer. I faithfully listened and went out and bought one immediately. So I started taking my temps 15 days ago.
I was told to call in every few days to report the temps. I have since found out that he wanted to know when I ovulated. Well...now that it has been 15 days and it seems I still have not ovulated, (according to the thermometer) I must continue on. Then it occurred to me, that silly little thermometer is BROKEN!!!! I know when I ovulate for goodness sakes! So...I had to go buy another one and start over.:(
I did get some good news this week....my blood test showed that the combo. of the 2 meds is still working just as it should. I was relieved when I heard that. I am so ready to be off of these pills.
With all of that said...I am hoping that we will start trying in the next 2-3 weeks, as long as dr. m says it's ok.
Hope you are all having a great day.
Love,
R

A moment of clarity

Fear.......

For as long as I can remember I have feared.
I feared what tomorrow will hold.
I feared life without Corey.
I feared how I would go on without my parents.
I feared how I would live if I was told I could not have children.
I feared life if I lost one of my brothers or sisters.
I have feared!!!!!

And then I had a moment of clarity......

I think God gives you struggles to turn your heart closer to him.
I have always believed in God and thought that I trusted him. That is how I was raised, I knew no other way.
This was until I was truly challenged....
God has challenged me, my faith, and my fears these past two years.
I have had to turn to him like never before. To trust in him. To have faith in him.
There were times when I did not and could not do this at all...I was MAD!!!!!

This...was his plan all along....to bring me closer to him.

My fears are still real, but I know now that God is in charge.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no more.
The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid"
"Trust in the Lord. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the Lord"
Psalm 27:1,14

This just says it all....it's what we are called to do.

Hope you have a great day.
Love always,
Rosemary

Topsy Turvy and stuff.....

That's what I said...Topsy Turvy.
Anyone know what that is????
Well, I was unsure until my sweet husband brought not only one home, but 2!!!!


So this is what we did this weekend....











I should have learned by now that nothing is ever easy when Corey gets "an idea"!
I was thinking we were going to just fill these things with a plant and some dirt and hang it up.
Boy was I mistaken.....
We made our 1st trip to Home Depot to get wood...wood I thought to myself...what in the world would we need wood for. Corey explained that we had to build a contraption to hang these things from. Ahh...what had I gotten myself into????
Well..after having to pull out the saw, one more trip to HD, and the exchange of a few very kind words we finally finished!!!!!








We should have some beautiful tomatoes in a couple of months. I know when they start sprouting I will be so excited we spent one WHOLE weekend putting these Topsy Turvys up.

I'll let you know how they turn out!



I was also lucky enough to spend Friday night with one of my best friends from college, Tiffany. It was her 30th birthday!!!! We went to Fireside Pies and had a yummy salad and pizza.

She is just such an awesome person and I am lucky to have her in my life. Thanks for letting me share that special day with you Tiff...love ya!

Hope you all have a great day.

All my love, Rosemary
