I worked until 5 tonight and Bryan came to pick me up.
I had called him a few hours earlier and asked him what he wanted to do for date night and he said that he didn't know. I had already been thinking about it. This is the last week of the Street of Dreams and I really wanted to go but we didn't end up going this year. Instead I asked him if he wanted to go have dinner at Chili's and walk around the mall and he said yeah that sounds like a good idea. On our drive over there he was pretty quiet and while we were eating dinner I asked him if he was feeling better and he said, "a little now that I'm with you." ahh We got bottomless chips and salsa for a starter and I got Lettuce wraps for dinner and he got these boneless chicken things that normally you get as a starter but for a couple dollars more he got them with fries and corn on the cob. We both shared bites with each other which we normally never do, but he liked my Lettuce wraps and his chiken and corn were excellant! After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble and Bryan looked for drawing books while I looked for books that looked interesting and wrote them down so that I could request them at the Library. hehe Bryan got a book called Dynamic Figure Drawing. Then we found him a shirt at Anchor Blue...it will go well with the Hurley shirt that I got him. After that we went to Meier & Frank aka Macy's and looked around there. I looked in a couple departments that I always liked but it seems like their prices have gone up. Everything I liked was $60-$100. We went downstairs and looked for some Echo jeans for Bryan. He really likes the way they fit him. They're kind of expensive but when you find the right jeans you go for them right?! I love jeans! We both had to go to the bathroom really bad so we went over to the kids area where they're located and as I waited for Bryan I looked at baby stuff. I found the cutest outfit that I wanted to get for Julie but it was a lot of $$ so I opted to wait and see if it goes on sale. We went up stairs to look at the shoes (I want all of them! ;o)) and we looked at some watches and Nate and Teresa came up behind us. We chatted with them for a while. T was there looking for a necklace. Kambrie was aborable of course with her blue and pink balloons. She looked wiped though and ready for nite-nite. Funny thing was that earlier I thought to myself I wonder if we'll see Nate and T at the mall and sure enough. HAHA After we left them we went to The Body Shop. I wanted to see if they had any new Home fragrance oils and we saw Bobbie there. She was picking up some shampoo/body wash there for Randy. She was shopping with Deb's who was at Nordstrom's. Everyone was at the Mall tonight. I got 4 oils, Pumpkin Nectarine (which I've had before), Coconut, Baked Cookies and Golden Apple. The Golden Apple one I was surprised with. It smells SO good. I don't normally like apple scents (some of you know why)! We looked around in some other shops but didn't find anything. I am so bummed that I didn't really find anything for me. I have come to the conclusion that I don't find clothes when I'm with Bryan...I have to be shopping on my own or with my mom, sisters or Friends. Weird. We left the mall close to closing time and were driving up Sunnyside where we saw a pretty bad accident. It was the strangest accident I've ever seen. We came up to the stop light at 122nd and we were behind a Ford Explorer who stopped at the light but then proceeded to go through the red light even though it hadn't changed to green yet and got side swiped by a big working van that was going through a green light pretty fast I might say. They both were able to pull over to the side and I really think we should have stayed...the van next to us pulled over and stayed. Is it against the law to leave when you witness an accident like that? Are you supposed to stay? Anyway, we didn't stay and I just don't understand what was going through the gal's head driving that Explorer? What made her go through? It was the strangest thing. I hope no one was hurt but I wonder if she had been drinking or I don't know?!

Randomness
We FINALLY got the Title to our car! It took us forever to get it from the Credit Union it was at and that we were paying payments to before paying it off. We had to call them 2 times and both of us don’t get off of work in time to go get it before they close.
Our house payment is up the wazoo but HEY we own our car now! ;o)
When I got the mail the other day we got something from the IRS! It says we owe them $500 from our 2004 taxes. EEKS! We’re going to take this to the accountant who did our taxes and see what she can do and what happened!? I guess this happened to my parents and the accountant took care of it and they haven’t heard anything since or had to pay anything. I hope that is the case for us too!

Tears
Bryan went through a breakdown a few months ago. He’s been on Lexapro (sp?) and he’s been seeing a counselor every week. Things have seemed to be getting much better and I’ve been trying hard to make sure that I’m not being the nagging wife that I CAN be. :o( BUT I was sleeping yesterday morning and he had gotten ready for work but then crawled back in bed and snuggled against me and cried. He did it again this morning also. He doesn’t know what’s wrong…I don’t know what’s wrong? I asked him if I’m doing anything because I don’t want to hear later that it was my fault. This is so hard to deal with /understand because it hits so fast and all of the sudden he doesn’t want to do ANYTHING! I feel helpless because I don’t know what to do or how to help? Work is covered because he’s talked to HR and the Doc signed papers so that he could get through this without the fear of getting fired but I still fear that.
I don’t know what to do?!?! :o(
I don’t know what to do?!?! :o(

CAMPING!
I went into work with Bryan on Wednesday so that I could get off early and have time to get things organized for our trip. We drove to Wilsonville and he dropped me off at the Costco out there while he went to his counseling appointment. I got a few things I needed for camping and a few other things that we needed at home as well. I had a lot of time to look around and wonder in the store before he came back to pick me up. It was nice to be able to get that done while he was at his appointment. We headed home and I got started on getting everything packed and organized. I had my handy camping list and checked things off as I went. Bryan mowed the lawns and helped me where ever needed. At about 8 I went to Fred Myer to pick up a few more things. I didn’t end up eating dinner until about 10 I think?!
Thursday morning we got up and packed up the truck and Bryan went to Safeway to get ice for the coolers. My goal was to leave town at noon but that didn’t happen…we did leave our house at noon though. We headed over to my parents and packed as much of their stuff that we could fit along with ours. It’s kind of annoying that we had to pack up all their stuff too but oh well. They don’t have big vehicles and they always help us out with stuff without complaining and with loving hearts. So we should too! We stopped at Wendy’s and got a quick lunch to go, got gas for the truck and were on our way by 1. We got to the campground pretty fast. I didn’t sleep at all…we just listened to music and talked the whole way. Calie was such a good girl. She just laid down on our pillows half in the back and half on the middle consol thing in between us.
One thing that I was SO looking forward to was that Bryan and I were going to get down there and have an evening to ourselves. Granted there were already a ton of church people there which meant that some of his Jr Highers would be there too. Sure enough not even 2 seconds after we drove in, dropped our ticket in the express check in box and pulled into our spot there were Jr Highers everywhere. I should have expected this…huh?! They love him and I DO remember what it was like when I was in JR High and High School and I always wanted to be around Randy and Michelle at family camp. We unpacked everything and set up camp.
When we went camping in June and we had a REALLY BAD night with Calie the first night so we didn’t want a repeat of that. After we got set up we drove to the beach and threw her Frisbee for her a bunch of times and enjoyed the sun setting along the water. It was very windy and chilly but still beautiful! We made a fire when we got back and had hot dogs for dinner. Calie slept like a rock all night long THANK GOODNESS!
Friday we got up kind of early. I think around 7:30…I went to take a shower and Bryan let Calie out to go potty and eat and he started our breakfast! We were having Sausage McMuffins. My shower was cold! They weren’t the “good” showers but they were newer and clean so it worked. The “good” showers have a hot and cold handles so that you can get a good temperature but these were push buttons and just when it would start to get warm it would shut off and I would have to start over again. UGH OH well I was clean and that’s what matters. We hung out around camp a lot and played some games. My parents and Julie arrived and we went over to help them set up their stuff. When they got there Terrie (Julie’s MIL) brought over a little girl outfit that I almost got at Costco when I was there. Thank goodness I didn’t get it. It is WAY cute though! Travis, Moo, Nate and Teresa arrived soon after and I ended up going on a walk with Moo, Alexis, Keira and the dogs to drop off their check in slip. We stopped off at the like kid play structure thing and let the kids play for a little bit and headed back. Travis and Marcia left to get to town and we started dinner. We had foil dinners and mine didn’t turn out very well. We sat around Nate and T’s fire that evening. Bryan went to bed before I did and it was just Travis, Nate, T and I talking when all of the sudden Calie walked up out of the blue by herself. I took her back to the tent and asked Bryan if he knew that Calie came looking for me and he said NO! She had nosed her way out of the tent and came looking for me. Thank God she didn’t wonder off. I would have died!
Saturday I went on some bike rides with T, Kam and Alexis, a ton of walks and we went to the beach. Bryan was all over the place…I couldn’t find him forever. He had walked down to the “good” bathrooms and had a nice HOT shower and had taken a nap too. We had dinner with my family that night. My mom made Spaghetti and I brought Garlic Bread. Bryan was in charge of a night game Saturday night so I hung out with Travis, Moo, Nate and T. Calie was pooped so she climbed up in Teresa’s loveseat camping chair and snuggled next to me. After Alexis got her pj’s on, she came out and fell asleep on my lap. She had ridden her bike ALL day and she was wiped out! She fell right to sleep! Friday night it had taken her a while to fall asleep. I just love that girl! Bryan got back around midnight I think and hung out around the fire for a while. The game didn’t go as well as it went last year which was kind of a bummer but everything can’t always work out perfect. Before the game Keith Jr. jumped on Bryan’s back and his knee gave out again. It’s pretty bad this time too. He’s limping everywhere and in a lot of pain. His knee brace isn’t working either. We went to bed around 1 and slept in till 10. Church at the lake was at 10:30 so needless to say I didn’t go. Bryan went but Julie said that it was so quick that when they sat down they got right back up to leave because it was already over. I went on a walk with Moo and Keira before they left and got a chance to talk to Betty for a while before she left too. I’m glad that we did the extended stay this year. It was a nice little vacation for us. We saw Nate, T and the girls off and then made some lunch. I went on a walk with my mom, dad and Julie and then we played a couple games. Nathan and Janell arrived around 4-5. They both had to work so they could only join us for a night. Julie was ecstatic to see Nathan…I think that is the only time since they’ve been married that they’ve been separated. We had Steak, Potatoes and Corn on the Cob for dinner and then we sat around the fire until 11ish. It was sure quiet around the campground with most of the church members gone. It also sprinkled a little while we were sitting around the fire. It was pretty funny. My dad can’t hear well and we were all talking and randomly he goes HEY I just felt a raindrop on my head. Crazy guy! Hehehe
Monday morning we got up, made breakfast and started packing up. The moment Bryan woke up he was ready to GO HOME! He had to go to class that night and hadn’t done any homework all weekend, so he was ready to go! We left around noon and Calie and I slept pretty much the whole way home. Bryan unpacked the truck into the garage for me and then he went to take a shower and try to get as much homework done as possible before class. I got started on cleaning up everything. I started Laundry, the dishwasher and unpacking. I took a shower, gave Calie a bath, put away all the leftover food and washed the truck. My dad brought us our car just in time for Bryan to leave for class. They barrowed it because Janell needed a car to drive to work and our car is a little bigger than their Toyota. Anyway, while I was washing the truck our neighbor walked over and told me that a sex offender moved into the neighborhood and that the police went around and told everyone to be careful when walking/jogging. I guess he goes after women in parks and that he had moved into his parents house that butts up to the park we have in our neighborhood. He’s not supposed to be by a park and they’re trying to get him out of that house, but I’m irritated because I take Calie on walks every night almost and I love going to the park. UGH I took my dad home and we had pizza for dinner. Everyone was wiped out so we didn’t really talk that much. Hehehe It’s weird how sitting around a campfire for 5 days can wipe you out! It was a nice trip though. Calie and I went home and I folded some more laundry and went to bed.

So my little sister is going to be a Mommy...
Julie is about 19 weeks pregnant. They moved her due date up from January 14th to January 7th. The doc said that she'll probably deliver a month early though, because her pregnancy is high risk. We both have high blood pressure and I guess it's just really taking a toll on her poor body. The pills that she's taking that are supposed to be bringing her BP down are making her throw up and just feel miserable. :o( I wish that she could enjoy this more.
They found out what they're having today...Ready?
Drum roll please...
It's
a
GIRL!
I am so excited to be an aunt to Karissa Kay or Taylor Renee (We're all pulling for Taylor Renee...I just love that name)! Nathan really wanted a boy but the rest of us knew it was a girl. Even Bryan, I asked him last night when we went on a walk what he thought it was and he said girl. My mom bought her the cutest little outfit today. I have to admit I'm jealous...it was so tiny. Janell bought her a cute outfit too and they got her a tiny bikini swim suit too. hehe
Apparently she is a little mover and a shaker. She wouldn't sit still to get her picture taken so the pictures aren't great, but it's still cute. She is already turning out to be just like her mommy. We always say that Julie has ADD. She always has to be moving. :o)

Our TTC journey
I have been off birth control pills for about 3 years I think (I lost track) and not really trying but not really preventing either. I started charting and temping to kind of know when not to "do it" but really we didn't pay attention that much. We knew that when it was our time to have a baby it would happen. We have officially started trying now for about 3 months. The first 2 months were unsuccessful and I think the 3rd one is going to too. I took a pregnancy test on the 10th DPO and it said negative. AF is supposed to show her face any day now but nothing yet...not even really any signs either.
I feel like I have PG signs but I don't know? My stomach feels tight and crampy (the ovulation like cramping though), today I have felt like puking all day! Sorry for the TMI, but my boobs hurt a little. Anyway, my mom asked me if it's hard setting myself up every month and I told her nah I think I'm doing ok but really this IS hard! I know they say it takes a while to get PG, but I've been been off the pill and not really preventing so could there be something wrong? I just want to have a baby! I want to have a family!
I went to Target with my mom and sisters today and they wanted to show me a ton of baby stuff that Julie wants. She wants the Eddie Bauer stroller/car seat, the Eddie Bauer pack & play, the Eddie Bauer dipper bag. hehehe We looked at clothes and stuff...I didn't think that it would be hard but it was.
People say that if you just stop obsessing about it...thinking about it...it will happen but I don't know how to stop thinking about it....
This is probably weird since we're not PG yet, but I get the PB Kid's Catalog and I love these nursery themes.

Weekend Recap
I just LOVE Fridays because it's the beginning of weekend, which means...I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK! YEA!!! Friday morning went fast but it slowed WAY down when it hit around 1pm. At one point I looked at the clock and it said 2:21pm and at what I thought was a long while later I looked again and it was 2:26pm. Only 5 freaking minutes had gone by...WHAT THE HONK?!
Bryan picked me up at 4:30 and I thought that we were going to go get the 2x4's and screws from this place that Dan ordered it from with his cost but when I got into the car Bryan said that the plan had changed. Apparently When Dan called to confirm that everything was ready for us to pick it up they had forgotten. Dan said screw it and I guess while he was at Home Depot he looked to see if the prices were compareable and it was actually like $7 cheaper so he bought everything. SO needless to say we drove over to Dan's and picked it all up, drove home and guess what?? Bryan gave Dan the wrong measurements. He told Dan we needed 2x4's but what we really needed were 2x6's. So we didn't work on the deck at all this weekend. UGH!
We went to dinner at Red Robin...stopped by Cold Stone and got some Ice Cream to go and came home. We watched a movie and my eye's were killing me so I headed to bed and Bryan played video games for a while.
Saturday morning I cleaned a little bit and straightened my hair. That always takes me forever. Bryan talked to Dan and about exchanging the wood so we both got ready and headed over to Dan's with the 2x4's, got his receipt and went to exchange them. We picked up a few other things and then went to get our car at my parents (my dad does our oil changes for us so all we have to pay for is the oil which is nice) and headed home.
I had asked T earlier in the week if she needed some help with setting up for Nate's Surprise B-day party and she said yes! Bryan and I had got home at about 12:20 and I needed to be at T's at 1. So I pretty much left right away. When I got there I got the Baked Beans cooking in the crock pot and got the hamburger fixins ready. T's mom and step dad got there a little after me and got tables and chairs set up. The party was fun and Nate was very surprised!
Bryan and I left around 6:30ish and headed home. I did some laundry and got a lot of of camping stuff ready. We're going to Family camp this next weekend. WAHOO! We leave Thursday and come back on Monday. I'm excited to get away, relax and spend time with my family and friends. I watched some TV and then went to bed. Bryan played video games with Dan, Randy S, Randy T and Terry! Since Terry moved this is a fun way for all of them to talk to him and just have fun!
Bryan and I were dreading going to church this morning(ok not really the going to church part but the getting out of bed part), but I am so glad that we went. Both SS and the service were really good! I learned a lot today!
During the service I sat with Marcia and Bryan sat up a few rows with the JR Highers. It was pretty bare in there today. People must be away and the Katrina people were gone (came back today though). Julie walked in a little late and couldn't find me (she didn't know that I had straightened my hair HA), but when she did she was walking towards us and she is looking more and more pregnant! I'm starting to get really excited to be an Aunt. She finds out tomorrow what she's having! eeeeee Poor thing has been SO sick! I don't think that this has been easy on her what-so-ever! :o(
After church was mingled and chatted with people for a while and then went to lunch at Original Taco House. Bryan and my dad went home and my mom, sisters and I went to a few places to get some things for camping next weekend.
I met Bryan at the church at 4 because we had a meeting with the Pastor and then we came home. We're going to go on a walk soon so I better sign off!

We picked up a few other things and then went to get our car at my parents (my dad does our oil changes for us so all we have to pay for is the oil which is nice) and headed home.
I had asked T earlier in the week if she needed some help with setting up for Nate's Surprise B-day party and she said yes! Bryan and I had got home at about 12:20 and I needed to be at T's at 1. So I pretty much left right away. When I got there I got the Baked Beans cooking in the crock pot and got the hamburger fixins ready. T's mom and step dad got there a little after me and got tables and chairs set up. The party was fun and Nate was very surprised!
Bryan and I left around 6:30ish and headed home. I did some laundry and got a lot of of camping stuff ready. We're going to Family camp this next weekend. WAHOO! We leave Thursday and come back on Monday. I'm excited to get away, relax and spend time with my family and friends. I watched some TV and then went to bed. Bryan played video games with Dan, Randy S, Randy T and Terry! Since Terry moved this is a fun way for all of them to talk to him and just have fun!
Bryan and I were dreading going to church this morning(ok not really the going to church part but the getting out of bed part), but I am so glad that we went. Both SS and the service were really good! I learned a lot today!
During the service I sat with Marcia and Bryan sat up a few rows with the JR Highers. It was pretty bare in there today. People must be away and the Katrina people were gone (came back today though). Julie walked in a little late and couldn't find me (she didn't know that I had straightened my hair HA), but when she did she was walking towards us and she is looking more and more pregnant! I'm starting to get really excited to be an Aunt. She finds out tomorrow what she's having! eeeeee Poor thing has been SO sick! I don't think that this has been easy on her what-so-ever! :o(
After church was mingled and chatted with people for a while and then went to lunch at Original Taco House. Bryan and my dad went home and my mom, sisters and I went to a few places to get some things for camping next weekend.
I met Bryan at the church at 4 because we had a meeting with the Pastor and then we came home. We're going to go on a walk soon so I better sign off!
