Life. Has crept back up on me again! Life, in the mix of everything going on, has been pretty good. I have been playing matchmaker and have gotten my two best friends hooked up! They have been dating for about a month now, and I love watching two people I love begin to fall in love. We have double dated to hockey games, bowling, sushi... and it is just amazing to look at that, and remember my DH and I several years ago. It reminds me of why and how I fell in love with him.
LOVE is an amazing thing and for sure has been a big part of my life recently. I have felt Love all around. I have a truly amazing husband, some pretty stellar friends, and a huge group of women who have supported me in my PCOS and my IF journey. I haven't felt this loved my entire life!
Laughter. This is truly the greatest medicine and healer of all. Though my laughter recently has been coupled with a pretty grotesque cough, I think that is why I recovered as quickly as I did. Through laughter, I have been able to get over a very nasty Flu and chest cold. One big reason for falling in love with my DH is how often he makes me laugh!!!
Infertility. This has brought me the most knowledge and new coping skills. New friends and realization that others don't belong in my life. This has brought me closer to my DH, and at the same time has let us fall to our knees together desperate and in tears. This journey has been crazy, and I know it is still going to get crazier. My journey will never end... and I will always be growing, learning and loving.

Not Dead, but sure feel like it...
I woke up Monday morning with an awfully sore throat, and pressure in my chest. Throughout the day I wound up throwing up, developing a fever, my whole body ached. I am still suffering from this and it is Wednesday afternoon. I've slept more the past three days than I probably do in an entire month. I feel miserable and I just want this to be over! I want energy and no pain, I have so much to do and here I am sicker than sick. I'm sure DH is tired of spending so much time alone and having to serve me soups and nutrition shakes and adjust my pillows every few hours...
Say an extra prayer if you pray... that I get over this asap.
I want my life back!

Good things are happening!
First off, of course my laptop came back practically brand new and early! That was exciting. So glad it crashed and burned within my warranty (ends this month!) and that I only had to pay for shipping. God knew it was going to happen, and let it happen at the right time. A blessing in disguise!
Second- DH and I are back to working events with our wedding planner. It is such a blessing and totally fun! To work weddings, parties, and events is pretty exciting and always a challenge and learning experience. I have a feeling this year is going to be much better than last!!! This is OUR year!
Third- My old boss is in from Costa Rica. I worked for her about four years ago, in her office. She is a wonderful Chiropractor. Very holistic based, and has been in the profession for 16 years. Well, she remembered me a computer genius (I am far, far, far from that, but it was neat that she thought of me that way...) and got a hold of me via Facebook to ask if I could come take a look at her laptop while she was still in the states, and she'd adjust me for free. Then a day or so later--I guess she heard or found out about our infertility struggles, and called me to tell me a couple of stories about her past patients. Each of these stories were heart breaking, involving many years of infertility struggles, multiple failed IVF and IUI treatments. Then they came to her. After many adjustments, each of these women were able to successfully get pregnant! I learned all about adjustments and how nerves affect your uterus, your ovaries, all of your organs. I learned how chiropractics can help with many, many health issues. She offered to do a series of adjustments on me for free!! And--she'd adjust DH too, just so he could feel better!!! We had our first round of adjustments on Wednesday and go again tomorrow morning! I'm so excited to try something new on our IF journey, and I know that it is no guarantee, but it gives me hope. If anything--my back will feel much, much better and I'll be able to workout with more ease!
Speaking of working out, I've been at a plateau for weeks and weeks---stuck at a 19lb weight loss, and I think I finally overcame that!!! I'm now at a 23lb weight loss! I can't see it anywhere... I see DH's weight loss more than I do mine. He's lost 14lbs. But I had to go buy new "undergarments" because mine were just falling off my tush. So maybe I lost a little bit in that area? Hubs says around my rib cage too...I still have a long ways to go but am so very excited to continue. I have a goal to lose at least 20 more by May when we go on vacation! A size or two smaller :) And by the end of summer I'd like to have lost a total of 30-40lbs more than this 23 so far. If that makes sense?!!
Okay, off to run errands for the day. I am excited to be able to blog again!

Alive
Letting all of my fabulous readers know, yes. I am still alive.
Husband and I are pretty much recovered from illness...we are just overwhelmed with stress and being busy. Still waiting on my laptop, maybe another week or week and a half before I can get back to blogging regularly.
I still can't believe it is already March! Why is it when you are older time flies by so quickly and you want it to just slow down, and when you are younger it seems like time is going by waaaaay too slow?!!
I want to give a big shoutout to my fellow blogger Crystal who had her triplets a few days ago. They are preemie but thriving in the NICU. Thank you for all you have done for me, and for standing by me through some tough times and encouraging me with gifts and letters. You are an amazing woman and going to be the most AMAZING mother.
Dont forget to visit https://www.facebook.com/1in10inc and like our page, share our page, and blog our page and help spread the word about 1in10 supporting PCOS sufferers. We have our fabulous giveaway coming up in about two weeks which includes a $50 Amazon giftcard and many other amazing things!!!
I'll be back when I can, I miss all of the interaction from all of you!
