(molly, I didn't forget about you. You're going up as soon as i get a chance to upload you onto my computer!)

Waiting is hard

I often find myself just sitting around waiting for my life to turn into the kind of life I always thought it would be. I'm 28 years old and I never once thought I'd still be childless at this point in my life. Many of you know that I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome last february. While its a common fertility problem, there is no cure. I was reading the about the risks of miscarriage in women who have pcos and its pretty discouraging. My mom just tells me to not read about those things but its hard not to. I don't want to carry false hope but I don't want to dwell in my misery either.
God knows the desires of my heart, and thats to be a mom. People keep telling me to just trust the Lord with this. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of trusting, I just want it to happen. I guess I don't have much of a choice but to have faith. I know that God is good and I know that He's going to take care of me. Having faith that He will is just so much easier said than done.
On top of all the medical issues, I don't know how Jairo and I could afford a kid right now anyways. I refuse to be the kind of mother who sticks her kid in day care for 10 hours a day 5 days a week. But at this point, I don't know how'd we make it if I didn't work.
Lord, I need some answered prayer soon here! Even if its just 1 of the 2 problems I'm facing.

its been 3 months since my last post. not a lot has really happened. i got a new job with baxter pharmaceuticals because some guy in India took my old job at Washington Mutual. other than that, not much is new.

does anyone even check this thing anymore?

if i sound a bit crabby its only because i feel like crap and need a nap. i'll feel better tomorrow.

So vacation was tons of fun and I didn't want to come back. I loved the Northwoods and would have no problem relocating there if the opportunity ever presented itself. I've posted a few pictures below for your enjoyment!

Holiday

I know I've been quiet the last month or so. There hasn't been much to report or anything that I just had to write about. I wish I were an imaginitive, thoughtful writer. Some of you have such beautifully written blogs that I sometimes feel that my words are somewhat simplistic and boring. I always found pride in my, what I thought to be, extensive vocabulary and use of imagery. I guess I'll have to get over the fact that I'm not the next Bronte sister.

I'll continue to write, not because I want others to think I'm smart or intellectual or a literary genius, but because I want you all to have a better understanding of me, to see me from a different perspective and in return, maybe I'll get to know you a little better.

I'm off on vacation for the next week. Hopefully I'll have something a little more exciting to write about when I get back

Rocky Mountains

Remind me again why I live in the midwest?
