Yes, I am still alive!

It's been so long that I have posted! Almost every night I think "I need to post!" and I just don't get to it. But tonight I decided would be the night! So here I am!!

It seems so long since I posted that honestly I can't remember what I said last time, so I am just going to give a short overview of things right now.

On the job front, Gary's job is going well, he got a 3% cost of living raise a few weeks ago..yea! Gary also had an oppurtunity to go to Washington D.C. for training for President Ford's funeral. Now, the president hasn't died yet, but is in poor health. It just seems weird preparing for someone's funeral that hasn't even died yet.. crazy.. Anyway, he was in Arlington National Cemetary on 9/11. He was able to be apart of a funeral, quite a moving experience.

On my job front, it's okay. I have been there now for almost 7 months, and STILL no talk of hiring me full time! It's okay, at least I am bringing in a paycheck however, it's a little discouraging. SO, you all are going to think I am NUTS, but I am planning on reapplying to Auto-Owners again. However, I have a bit of a stradegy. I plan on applying for a home office position, such as personnel, payroll, etc. jobs that don't have anything to do with insurance, that way it will be a whole different experience for me. At this point I really want to get into a company and stay there for 30 yrs! So pray, that i could get into a great department!

On the fertility front.. well, things aren't wonderful. The Doc put me on glucophoge, however now I have to get off of it, because my liver enzymes were elevated and glucophoge metabolizes in the liver... bummer. Then, he put me on a hormone to produce a period, well after being on provera for 7 days, no period! Therefore, I had to go in for a biopsy to check my uterus, and on Tuesday, I recieved a call from Doc Dodds, stating that I had hyperplasia, which a thickening in the uteran wall, and precancerous!.. ...augh! Now, I am going on 6 wks of hormone therapy and then will go in for another biopsy. I am hoping things will go well, because if this worsens it could end in a hysterectomy. which is a ways away, so no one freak!! I am in no way shape of form worried. Becuase things happen for a reason, if I am not to have children, I am okay. Gary and I are complete just the way we are, so we don't NEED to have kids. Yes, we would like to have kids, but we will be just fine without them.

I am so glad the weekend is just around the corner. Gary has guards this weekend, and is in a military wedding. Gary had to buy his dress blue uniform just for this wedding... almost $500.!! Wow! it's a sharp suit! Navy blue, with gold piping and his ribbons and metals...he looks amazing in it! I can't wait to see him walk down the aisle in his uniform.. I am going to take lots of pics! I am not in the wedding but will be attending. It's going to be an interesting wedding for sure! It will be a beer fest I think, but that' s okay it will make for a good time.

Well, I am going to go and watch my shows now, it's Thursday night, and ER will be on soon! I will blog atcha later.
