Busy... Busy...

Once again this is just going to be a huge long post with no pictures involved…. Just a lot of news. Well, I started my fertility drugs last week… Jason was gone for a whole week, to be with his Dad; who was having a Triple-bypass surgery. I couldn’t go with him because we needed me to be here in Nashville for other reasons.
Father-in-law’s surgery went really good. It is definitely time for a change in eating habits, and all Jason and I can do is pray that this was a wakeup call. He still hasn’t be released from the hospital, it’s been a week and a day now since his surgery. They are trying to get him out of Atrial Fibrillation by giving him medication. Jason finally got home Wednesday night; we only got to see each other for a quick second before we went into our growth groups at Church. I’m super excited about my growth group and Jason’s growth group. His is separate from mine, he’s with all men and I’m with all women, which is just fun. And then on Thursday nights starting next week we are starting a life group which is small groups of couples who are in our Sunday school class and we dig further in the sermon from the previous Sunday. I can’t wait, not only for the learning, but it’s also a great way to get better connected to the people who are in your class. This past week, I definitely realized that Jason and I have made a large group of genuine friends who would stop at the drop of a hat to be there for support in whatever is going on. I had friends come over and watch movies with me, I had friends call and ask me if I would like to have dinner with them, I had people just texting me or face booking me checking on me , jason and my father-in-law…. I definitely felt loved last week.
As for the clomid (fertility drug) I only take 1 pill for 5 days. I pray that it works and all the symptoms of the pill are all going to be worth it in the end. I can handle ANYTHING if it will give us the baby we’ve dreamed about… Jason and I are definitely trying to keep ourselves busy with projects and Church stuff to keep our minds off of it…. So I am going to be a Project Coordinator for a campaign our company does every year call Caring for the Community. It’s a day that we get to go out and volunteer for a place of our choice and get paid a full day’s pay for it. I will be the Project Coordinator for The Nashville Ballet…. I am going to be leading a team of 10 people, we are going to do some landscaping, painting the lobby, and help build some stage props… I’m pretty excited about it and it’s a big deal here to be recognized as a Project Coordinator for Community Day’s. Stay tuned for pictures from that day….
In October… Jason and I are going to be going on a retreat; each one of us goes on different weekends….. It’s called Tres Dias (3 Days) we will each leave on a Thursday night, and return Sunday evening. It’s kind of secretive, about what goes on during the 3 days because they want everyone’s experience to be brand new and get the most out of it without any expectations. So you have to go with no cell phone, no computers, no TV…. Just you and God for 3 days… We have two amazing friends who are sponsoring Jason and me to go, they have both been through and they said not only did it improve their marriage, but it changed their lives. I’m excited about it. Also in October Mom and Dad are planning a trip here so they can see all the fall colors. We are going to take them to Gatlinburg for a weekend up in the Smoky Mountains… and in the fall there is no place prettier! Can’t wait for that either…. Busy…. Busy… It’s just amazing to me how our life together from this time last year to now has kind of come full circle… we definitely have found a home in Nashville….
