Thankful November 7

I am thankful for my material possessions...my house, my car, my clothes, my toys, etc. I am blessed beyond belief. Some people can't rub two nickels together but I have things. Things don't always make me happy, but some days they do. I realize that life is about MORE than things, but we enjoy them and I am thankful to have them. 

Thank you for my THINGS!

Thankful November 6

I am thankful I can vote. I think everyone that's doing these "thankful" posts said the same thing. BUT I've got a little extra kick...we IUI'd today. We had our ultrasound this morning. This is our first (and hopefully only) medicated cycle. I had 5 measurable follicles, but only 2 BIG ones. 24.9 (right), 16.7 (right), 9.7 (right), 8.5 (left), 6.2 (left). We ran over to the docs office and she said we needed to IUI anytime. She gave me a trigger shot and I went to work.  As we left it we would IUI the next day, most likely. We tracked our dewar all day and it finally arrived around 2:15. My Wife called the docs office and asked if we could come IUI and they said if we come right NOW. I had a hunch this is what we should do. So...I left work at 3 pm and we IUI'd around 3:40 pm. I took the rest of the evening easy. We watched the election, we watched history. 

This morning my temperature SPIKED!! Looks like I ovulated right after we IUI'd!!! Those swimmers were right where they needed to be. Get this...my due date is July 30th if we get preggo this month...maybe the psychic isn't wrong afterall ?!?!?!

I felt good about the election, elated more like it. I was so glad our Prez won again. Good for women's rights, and good for marriage equality. Plus our IUI was a kick in the ass to Romney for what MY marriage is and what kind of FAMILY I am trying to create. Thank you America for making the right decision. Thank you for my ability to vote!! 

November 5 Thankfulness

I am thankful for food, especially desserts. I love eating, and I love food. I love my healthy shakes in the morning, I love my treats--candy, cakes, cookies, etc. They usually hurt my belly from the gluten intolerance, but I still love them.

I am thankful I can put three meals in my body every day. Some people can't...but I am blessed to eat healthy and hearty.

Thankful November 4

I am thankful for Brianne's family. 

They took me in instantly as if I was blood. They have loved me. They treat me as good as their own. I love that they have shown me what true family can be. Even amidst the disagreements, they still come together to love and share. It has been different with gram gone, but they still have something very special that is so rare. I love being a part of something big, almost too big. 

To her family...Thank you for loving me. 

Thankful November 3rd

I am thankful for my parents. We've had our disagreements over the years, but they are still my parents and I love them for all they've done for me. They have given me money when I didn't deserve it, and sometimes need it, but they've also bailed me out. When I lost my job 4 years ago they paid off my student loans. I am still very grateful for that.

I call my parents several times a week and don't take for granted I won't always be able to do that. I'm learning to let go of our disagreements and just enjoy that we are family and this is who I am blessed to have been born to.

I love my parents with all my heart, and thankful to still have both of them here.

I am thankful for my job. Some days I want to quit. Some days I want to go back to my old job. But, I love my job. I love my co workers. I love what I do. I love the patients I get to help. After losing my job in Sept 2008,  I realize how expendible I am. It's a privaledge to have a full time job with benefits. Thank you for my job.

Thankful November 1st

   ***** Things I am thankful for *****


My Wife--She's my rock. I don't mean that cliche', but she is everything I would ever want in a spouse. In a life partner. She's the person I want to be standing next to when we're old. She's my oldest love, and it's pure, raw, and true.
