It's not been long since my last post ~ but when your hoping and trying for a baby, anything is possible.
That said, my "friend" came to visit, therefore putting Chris and I back to the beginning. It's been a hard morning. Trying to keep my chin up, think positive. Not so easy. I often find myself drifting away in my thoughts wondering "what I did wrong", or "why me" .. and I guess I can't keep beating myself up .. easier said than done.
So, till the next cycle ...

Coming up to Speed
It's been some time since I last blogged. I know, I'm not so good at this, but thought, with all that is going on in my life, perhaps blogging will help to get through it. Since before we left for Hawaii (my last blog) Chris and I have been trying to get pregnant.
We've actually been trying since after the wedding (7/15/2006). Unfortunatly, we haven't had the best of luck.
After trying the good ol' natural way .. we thought it might be time to see a doc. We both did, and they tested us, and it ended up to be me.
So in November of 2007 I started taking Clomid. Still nothing, so after speaking with our OB, on Friday, March 7th we had our first IUI.
Which leads us to today .. we are currently waiting to see if we are pregnant. And let me tell you, these are the longest 16 days of my life. What does all this mean, if no menstrual cycle by the 23rd of March, we get to take an at home pregnancy test .. positive means one of our dreams and struggles have come true .. if negative. We start the process all over.
I'll be blogging more and more, and hopefully will be able to report great news soon!
Besides all that, life has been good. Both of us working. Chris is currently taking classes for his General Contractors License, and well I got a promotion at work and am now doing recruiting. So life is good.
Till the next post ~ make it a great day!

2 Tickets to Paradise
Chris & I are getting ready to head out .. yep, we are heading to Hawaii. I believe I'm more excited than he, but I have a feeling Hawaii will grow on him.
We will be staying here
And boy am I excited. So to mark this great trip, thought I would do a few "firsts"
1. This will be my first REAL vacation since I began working at the ripe age of 16
2. This is our first FAMILY vacation in forever. Yes, we are traveling with my parents and little sister.
3. This will be Chris & mine first time taking more than 2 days off of work for vacation. Amazing I know.
4. This will be the first time I've ever left my Coupe (that's my dog) for more than a few days.
5. I believe this is the first time I've ever had to pack so many clothes :-)
That's it for now .. stay tuned for more.

Amazing
I haven't posted in some time, but heard something on the radio this morning, that I had to come in to work and see if I could find the article, and sure enough I did.I've copied it below .. but one would think we would have better things to do with our time and money than harrass Michael Moore.
Michael Moore Faces U.S. Treasury ProbeMay 10, 5:27 AM EST
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES -- Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department for taking ailing Sept. 11 rescue workers to Cuba for a segment in his upcoming health-care documentary "Sicko," The Associated Press has learned.
The investigation provides another contentious lead-in for a provocative film by Moore, a fierce critic of President Bush. In the past, Moore's adversaries have fanned publicity that helped the filmmaker create a new brand of opinionated blockbuster documentary.
"Sicko" promises to take the health-care industry to task the way Moore confronted America's passion for guns in "Bowling for Columbine" and skewered Bush over his handling of Sept. 11 in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control notified Moore in a letter dated May 2 that it was conducting a civil investigation for possible violations of the U.S. trade embargo restricting travel to Cuba. A copy of the letter was obtained Tuesday by the AP.
"This office has no record that a specific license was issued authorizing you to engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba," Dale Thompson, OFAC chief of general investigations and field operations, wrote in the letter to Moore.
In February, Moore took about 10 ailing workers from the Ground Zero rescue effort in Manhattan for treatment in Cuba, said a person working with the filmmaker on the release of "Sicko." The person requested anonymity because Moore's attorneys had not yet determined how to respond.
Moore, who scolded Bush over the Iraq war during the 2003 Oscar telecast, received the letter Monday, the person said. "Sicko" premieres May 19 at the Cannes Film Festival and debuts in U.S. theaters June 29.
Moore declined to comment, said spokeswoman Lisa Cohen.
After receiving the letter, Moore arranged to place a copy of the film in a "safe house" outside the country to protect it from government interference, said the person working on the release of the film.
Treasury officials declined to answer questions about the letter.

Treasury officials declined to answer questions about the letter.
"We don't comment on enforcement actions," said department spokeswoman Molly Millerwise.
The letter noted that Moore applied Oct. 12, 2006, for permission to go to Cuba "but no determination had been made by OFAC." Moore sought permission to travel there under a provision for full-time journalists, the letter said.
According to the letter, Moore was given 20 business days to provide OFAC with such information as the date of travel and point of departure; the reason for the Cuba trip and his itinerary there; and the names and addresses of those who accompanied him, along with their reasons for going.
Potential penalties for violating the embargo were not indicated. In 2003, the New York Yankees paid the government $75,000 to settle a dispute that it conducted business in Cuba in violation of the embargo. No specifics were released about that case.
"Sicko" is Moore's followup to 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11," a $100 million hit criticizing the Bush administration over Sept. 11. Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" won the 2002 Oscar for best documentary.
A dissection of the U.S. health-care system, "Sicko" was inspired by a segment on Moore's TV show "The Awful Truth," in which he staged a mock funeral outside a health-maintenance organization that had declined a pancreas transplant for a diabetic man. The HMO later relented.
At last September's Toronto International Film Festival, Moore previewed footage shot for "Sicko," presenting stories of personal health-care nightmares. One scene showed a woman who was denied payment for an ambulance ride after a head-on collision because it was not preapproved.
Moore's opponents have accused him of distorting the facts, and his Cuba trip provoked criticism from conservatives including former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson, who assailed the filmmaker in a blog at National Review Online.
"I have no expectation that Moore is going to tell the truth about Cuba or health care," wrote Thompson, the subject of speculation about a possible presidential run. "I defend his right to do what he does, but Moore's talent for clever falsehoods has been too well documented."
The timing of the investigation is reminiscent of the firestorm that preceded the Cannes debut of "Fahrenheit 9/11," which won the festival's top prize in 2004. The Walt Disney Co. refused to let subsidiary Miramax release the film because of its political content, prompting Miramax bosses Harvey and Bob Weinstein to release "Fahrenheit 9/11" on their own.
The Weinsteins later left Miramax to form the Weinstein Co., which is releasing "Sicko." They declined to comment on the Treasury investigation, said company spokeswoman Sarah Levinson Rothman.

Google..What do I need
This morning I got a "bulletin" on my myspace page, and I've seen this before, but it happened to also be the topic of conversation this morning on the radio show I listen to. So I thought, what the heck, let's see what "Jaime needs".Here are the Top Ten, of what I need:
1. Jaime needs the swim of her life.
2. Jaime needs a keypal.
3. Jaime needs information.
4. Jaime needs a break to detox from Michael.
5. Jaime needs more volunteers.
6. Jaime needs help with his comprehension skills.
7. Jaime needs no cuidates.
8. Jaime needs no further introduction, as he is one of Sweden´s top drummers.
9. Jaime needs to get out of storage.
10. Jaime needs to grow up and stop making all of those horrible faces.
I must say, I have to agree with #1, being a swimmer and all, I'd love some quality time in the pool. The rest .. well they are interesting to say the least.
So what do you need?
