A few more pictures. One year pictures are on their way! We had a photographer take pictures of them at a local park, and I can’t wait to see the results. We should have them in a couple of days.

And just for comparison…

Meant to post this on April 19 :)

April 19 was our 4 year anniversary. It’s also hard to believe that this August will mark 10 years since I first met my husband. Things sure have changed…

A few more pictures…

Yes, I’m behind. Yes, this blog has completely stalled. No, I don’t know if I’ll ever blog regularly again.

Yes, I am so, so happy. My boys are the most beautiful things I have ever seen. One smile can cancel out every bit of negativity in my life.

They are now 10 months old. N is a walking maniac and E is a silly, babbling fool Just perfect.

My loves.

It’s hard to believe they are 9 months old.

Crawling Around

I haven’t posted in a long, long time.

Here is a summary of pictures to explain why. . .

Happy Holidays!

Whoa, I never post. I’ve had a lot going on and I’ve been, for lack of a better word, unplugged. Lots of updating to do, hopefully sometime soon. Until then:

I’m still alive…

…just haven’t been posting. Yes, I’ve still been taking Project365 pictures but I haven’t been on the computer at home too much so I haven’t uploaded them. I’ve been pretty sick and generally lethargic, so I apologize. Maybe an update this weekend?

xoxo

P.S. I would love and appreciate any good vibes, thoughts, prayers you can spare!

The Power of Positive Thinking

everam01 — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:16:36 +0000

Call me what you will – debbie downer, negative nancy, pessimist, realist. Any way you slice it, I’m Bad Luck Ally. I mean, who else gets pulled over by a cop in her own neighborhood for a rolling stop? Who else gets hit (and windshield cracked) by a rogue rock from a dump truck she was not behind at the time -twice? Who else has never won a contest, not even a scratch-off lottery ticket, can never find a parking spot and always catches a red light?

So, maybe my debbie downerness is well-justified. But maybe I’m bringing some of it on because I expect it. Maybe my life is one big self-fulfilling prophesy.

Let’s test this theory. If you love me, let’s try an experiment. Let’s try some Power of Positive Thinking.

Repeat after me:

My recent health problems were just an acid refux flare-up and will be successfully treated with my current medication OR an easy home remedy and I will feel 100% better very soon.
AND
My fertility issues were primarily caused by the endometriosis and now that it’s gone my husband and I will have no more trouble TTC.

I’m not the girl who asks for thoughts and prayers for an A on a test or my great uncle twice removed’s colonoscopy or some random internet person I’ve never met’s troubles, but I am asking for thoughts and prayers for the above. If you know me and/or love me, take some time to think some good/happy/positive thoughts with me. I’m sick of being sick, and I’m sad that my husband and I have not been able to add to our family. We’ve tried random advice and we’ve done everything the doctors have asked of us. All I have left to try is positivity and optimism.

In all honesty, it’s the hardest thing I’ve tried yet.

#project365: Box of Books

everam01 — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:53:32 +0000

Once in a while I make a mass purchase from the bookstore, and I started filling up my Barnes & Noble wishlist since I was nearing the end of the unread books on my bookshelf. However, my book club friend Katie let me know that she had a nice pile of mystery/thriller type books she wasn’t planning to read and graciously sent me a box of good ones.

Thanks, Katie! I’ll let you know what I think after I give each book a try.

For my other recent reads, I made a new post over on CasuALLY Writing (my writing blog). No reviews, just a little list but if you want to discuss any of them let me know!
