So there has been a lot going on and a lot to say in this post.

First I would like to rewind to last year. Sort of strange to say last year already. December 29 2015 was crazy! Jeff wasn’t feeling the greatest and it was the day that he had off of work. We were being lazy in the morning when my mom called to ask if we could drive Adam to the Milwaukee airport.

Let me tell you from our house to my mom’s house is about forty five minutes. From our house to Milwaukee is over two hours. At first I am like I don’t know then she hung up on me. What I didn’t know is my dad was in the hospital.

My dad has been having horrible pain in his intestines. Found out he had some of his intestines blocked with a hernia. Late the night before he went to the emergency room and they kept him over night. Now my dad was in the hospital the week before with the same problem and they told him that they couldn’t do surgery till he lost weight and sent him home with not even pain pills. He was in a lot of pain.

Adam calls me all in a panic. Telling me that no one will help them and dad’s car is stuck in the snow. He started to be Adam and cry on the phone. I told him to stop and we are coming down and I hung up on him. Jeff and I got in the car and started to drive to mom’s house. Half way there Adam calls us tell us to meet them at the hospital. The good thing is we got to see my dad. Didn’t know if he would have surgery or not. Later that night he had to have surgery. Now he is home from the hospital doing well.

Spent some time with him and then got in the car to drive Adam to Milwaukee. Basically spent all day in our car. I hate driving to Milwaukee so much. Granted it is all highway but I still hate driving there. It was nice to see Adam off. However I am mad at my siblings and writing it makes me feel better about it. They did nothing. My mom does a lot for them even more then us especially my sister. My sister decided her friend was more important than mom and dad. That really pissed me off the most!

I would never trust my life with them. I’d probably die before they came to help me. I have to remember that for the future. I am being serious. April and I always say when are parents die our siblings will no longer be part of our family. I totally believe that. I am just glad April and I can vent to each other about our families because they are similar. It’s strange how that is.

Fun things now.

I wanted to share what I made Adam for Christmas it was a hit. Remember I say I only make things that people appreciate. I made Adam the Ghostbuster symbol cross stitch. I got the pattern on Pinterest. It was free. On Pinterest they did it on white fabric I did it on black to make it pop. Then Jeff made the frame and painted it. It was so cool and everyone was amazed by it.

I got steak! You know I love steak so much. If I was on a desert island and could only eat one thing it would be steak. Jeff made steak last Saturday. Check out steak:

My friend Helen sent me some cool New Year presents. In Russia they do not celebrate Christmas they celebrate the New Year.

Look:

I got a lot of yummy tea and chocolate! Look at how cute that cat is. It’s so adorable and the calendar in Russian. It’s very cool. I like everything.

On Sunday January 3, 2016 I hit my goal of not have soda for a whole year! Three hundred and sixty five days soda free. I decided that I am an addicted to the sugary syrup bubbly drink. If I would have some I would keep drinking it. I don’t need it and it doesn’t make me feel well. For the rest of my life I will not drink soda again.

I am really proud of myself for not drinking it.

What a year!

Like every year there where highs and lows but I live another year. That is something to be proud of.

Let’s see…I had a lot of dental problems this year. I had two teeth pulled out and one put in. That helped because I can at least chew on one side of my mouth. January 22 2016 I will start the process all over again for another tooth.

We looked for a house for half a year and after looking and looking. Then thinking we would get one and then didn’t get it. We got this house! I am glad we live here than the other house we wanted at first. Love the privacy and the practically no neighbors.

Scotty officially became our dog.

I lost more weight! But I lost even more inches around myself. I was able to buy clothes at a regular store then online.

Ken got engaged to a wonderful woman named Elena. I am excited for her to be part of our family.

The end of the year we are trying to figure out to why I cannot get pregnant and hopefully next year find the solution.

I got to see Adam this year. He came for Christmas.

This Christmas we took a picture of us all. I think it turned out good.

I am still married to a wonderful guy! We are so cute!

I am ready for 2016!

On Friday December 18 2015 I had an ultrasound done. I never had one of those done before. I was nervous about. When they were doing it hurt a bit because they had do it while I was having my period. It’s sensitive down there during that time. It was different looking at my insides. After the ultrasound we met with my doctor. Everything looks okay but they want to another ultra sound in January. Not really my favorite thing to do but to have a baby I must.

This weekend we did some of our bathroom and making some progress. We painted and Jeff put up the boarder. Coming together.

We really wanted stars in our bedroom. However we couldn’t find one of those decals because they were too kiddy. And we weren’t going to pay eight dollars for a star. So we made our own and painted them. We figured out it only cost us less than a dollar fifty for each star. Looks great!

Living in Wisconsin we should have snow however we only had some snow stick around a couple of weeks ago. Since then it has melted. Now today it’s raining that means no snow.

I feel like I do not live in Wisconsin. We should have so much snow now but we do not. I have only wore my winter coat a few times. I am still wearing shorts in December! It has been about thirty five to forty two Fahrenheit. That is warm for here.

Basically need a rain coat and not a winter coat right now. What is going on? I say no snow for Christmas. Jeff says snow for Christmas. I would be fine not having snow that means I don’t have to drive in it. I would be fine with green for Christmas.

Many things

Tuesday December 8 2015 Jeff and I went to the infertility place. I was super nervous then again I am always nervous going to the doctor’s office unless I know what’s going to happen. Like I am no longer nervous about getting my physical every year because I know what’s going to happening. Anyway on Tuesday we went there and we were there for about two hours. Everyone was very nice!

A couple of years ago we went to a woman in our town and we didn’t like her. She tell us anything and she wasn’t very nice. The whole appointment with that woman was like twenty minutes. Very unhelpful and turned me off of having help.

I am glad we went to the place we did. The next visit I will keep you informed of what test will be done.

As you know a tree fell on our house so we wanted the other tree gone too so it doesn’t fall on our house. So one of Jeff  co-worker’s husband he cuts down trees for a living. As the tree was leaning the right way it fell on our house anyways. Good thing there was no damage i would have been mad. I could have let mother nature do that however it was cheap for him to take it down.

Let’s go!

My husband and I are going on a new journey in our lives. I want to blog about the whole experience to keep track because this is my life.

For years Jeff and I been trying to have a baby with no success. So now we are going to seek medical help and try to get pregnant that way. It’s funny because I told Jeff that I am happy to do this. Because now we can see why we can’t. Why? I like to have people on my side to help us achieve this.

In society it’s shameful or something if you need help having a baby. I have no idea why? Like we can’t talk about it. I think that is just so stupid. That is why we have places to help people like us to have babies. Doesn’t make any sense to me. I am not ashamed and I will be open about it.

Our first appointment is on Tuesday December 8^th 2015. I am nervous because it’s a very long appointment. Not sure what they all are going to ask. I have a general idea but the appointment is an hour and a half. That is very long. I will let you know how that goes. And it really doesn’t say that Jeff has to be there but I think since we both want this we should both go. And besides it’s in Green Bay. I hate driving in Green Bay mostly because I hate roundabouts. At least it’s on the nice side of Green Bay or as Jeff calls it the expensive side. Too funny!

This last part of the year and next year I will be going to a lot of doctor appointments. And not only just for this, I am getting another dental implant. I told Jeff we should just move to Green Bay since we will be there a lot. It will be exciting though.
