I went out with one of my oldest friends and her husband for their first photo shoot together as husband and wife. Because he is in the Army, and they got married when he was home briefly for R&R, they never really had a chance to have engagement photo's. They never really had any time on their wedding day to take quality photo's either, so now that he's home from overseas, I was lucky enough to have the privilege of taking their pictures.

So, let me preface this blog by saying that about 6 or 7 years ago, I had a doctor tell me at my yearly womans visit that I may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, but that she didnt want to check or do tests until I was closer to wanting to have kids. She didnt want to test because she didnt want me to have a pre-existing condition. So here I am, years later, and I thought that if Rob and I were going to start trying in the next year, I should check that out, in case there were steps I needed to take to actually get pregnant. I had my doctors appointment a few days ago, and the doctor I saw was really great and informative. He did say that by looking at me, he didnt think that I had PCOS, but that we'd do a complete workup just to make sure everything was alright. So my homework was: a bloodtest at day 3 of my cycle to check two hormone levels (dont remember which ones), a blood test at day 22 of my cycle for progesterone, take ovulation tests for two months, and then meet again...

Ok, so I know that when there's something that I can't stop thinking about, I should probably write about it in my journal or blog about it. Guess which one I chose? lol Monday night we did what we call a "Family Home Evening," or a night of the week set aside to do something special with your family, bond and have a special moment studying something from the scriptures (Bible/Book of Mormon). Most of the time that is on a Monday night. Since we don't have a family of our own yet, and we probably might be considered odd going to the singles ward FHE, we decided to have our own Young Married Adult FHE.We hope it will help us stay motivated to keep up the habit of FHE and bond and learn more about other couples in the area! So far it has been really fun! This last Monday we did a New Years Fondue night, and we made Spinach artichoke fondue, and chocolate fondue. Let me tell you...it was SO DELICIOUS! I found this great recipe that is supposedly the exact reci...

The last day of 2010, I decided to buy this cute black dress online, since it was on sale, and I had been eying it for a while. I was hoping that it would come soon, and today it finally came in the mail. Here is a picture of the dress I ordered. And here is a picture of the dress that actually came. Unfortunantly I contacted the company and told them I was very dissapointed about the mistake BEFORE I tried on the dress, and before I looked at the price difference. Appearantly the dress I ordered was $45, and the dress that came was $145. And I tried the dress on and discovered that I LOVE it!!! Oh what to do, what to do? Think if they call me back, I can just tell them that I actually like it and dont want the original and they'll just say ok? Crossing my fingers....

So by weird, I mean, odd, not funny haha. I was just thinking about something, and I don't know if I can express what I'm thinking and have it make sense, by I'll try. Sometimes, I have these memories just hit me. I'll remember a certain time or event, and all the sudden I feel like I'm there again. Not so bad, everyone has wonderful and not so wonderful memories that are brought on by a song, picture, or something or other. The tough part is the coming back to myself. The moment when I realize that no, I am not in New Mexico right now, and I feel weird all the sudden realizing that home is California. And for a split second, New Mexico still feels like home. Then I have to remember that those amazing friends I was just remembering aren't around the corner, and in fact I haven't even seen them in years. They felt so close just a moment ago. I love my life, and I love my home, but a small part of my heart completely misses New Mexico and will always c...

I really don't get on here often enough, though it is more often than I write in my own journal. Rob and I are sitting here on the couch, each in our own respective little world. Me surfing the web, and reading my latest novel... this one is the 5th installment of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, which I highly recommend. I have fallen in love with the characters and story lines! I could really move to Scotland after this! Rob is (I hope I don't embarrass him here) reading the first novel of Twilight! He has Twilight in one hand, and a thesaurus in the other hand...lol. I guess he is just trying to get his vocab up...though I don't know if I could really get into a book if I was stopping every other sentence and looking things up. I am glad he is trying though. He really does make me proud with how hard is is trying to improve his mind (or maybe just try to understand why I like the books so much...equally sweet), and get a job and provide for the lit...
