Sorry About the Delay

Okay, so I am back! I am sorry about taking so long to post! It's been over a month! I can't believe summer is coming to a close! My, time does fly as you get older! One would think because I have not posted for so long, that I would have a ton to post, but really, as I look back everything seems a blur.

So, let's start with what's going on with just Gary and I. Gary just got back from his two weeks of training in Camp Grayling. I think that he was glad to be home! I was glad to have him home. As I was anticipating his return, I was thinking, how did I ever make it through the year of deployment? I think that it's gets so quiet around here when it is just me and the cat's and dog. Although, I do enjoy a weekend or two to myself.

I am back on the "available" list for Career Quest! YIKES I hate being unsure of my future like this, and I am still working at Maximus. However, when I first got hired in, they said 500 hrs and then they would hire me. Now after 5 months, they have added even more stipulations! Now we have to make our stats for 90 days on top of our all ready 500 hours! Not that I can't make my stats, and honestly, people that have been with the company for over a yr, don't make their stats everyday! And, I don't like it when a company will tell you "do, this, this and this" and then we hire, and don't follow through with it, I guess that's not a company I care to work for. BUT, I am going to continue to work for maxim's until Career Quest can find me something better, I am hoping and praying for a State job.

On Gary's work front, it's going rather well! The company just gave an across the board 3% raise! That's Wonderful! That will bump his salary up to a pretty good sum. He also will be getting another personal day, and will be getting some more vacation time. YEAH!

Now I am going to tell you something that I thought I was going to keep a secret because Gary and I have been so back in forth about it. Gary and I are heading back to the fertility clinic. We are going to try a new Dr. In Grand Rapids. Dr. Dodds. He is suppose to be a very good Dr. and very kind. I am very nervous about this whole ordeal! I stopped into my old fertility doc's office to pay a file transfer fee, and remember while I hate it all so much! I heard a girl ask for a tempature chart, and I noticed a couple in the corner gripping one another's hand.. I then wanted to run out of the office at record speeds! I remembered all those feelings.. YUCK! Desperation, hopelessness.. and then another feeling ..."What the hell are we thinking??!!" But I see my friend's baby, baby Landen, I try to picture what it will be like to watch Gary playing with his kid, and all the joys the little bugger will bring, and I think "it will all be worth it.!" I just have one thing to ask of you.. (Jill and Kelli) don't get all mushy on me, and say "it will be so beautiful etc.." You can ask me about it, just don't be "mushy!" =)

I have been trying to get back into exercising again... I think I am going to die! Gary has been running, and running.. So I thought, " I will run too" ... I look ridiculous out there! Gary and I walk down to the high school track. He runs around 12 times ( 3miles) I on the other hand will run for half of it and then walk the rest of the way. Then I run and walk. I feel as if I look like a large cow running to the trough for feeding. My boobs are bouncing, my gut is jiggling.. Not a pretty sight..

Well, I am going to head off to bed now! I hope all is well with everyone! Good Night.
