In the last year we have gone through a lot after deciding to start a family, a lot that neither of us thought we would have to go through. During all of this there have been many laughs, tears and long hugs. Some of you do not know much about the past year and some of you know about each and every appointment. After everything I thought I would start this blog, a place for me to share our journey while trying to conceive and also the other fun things we are doing along the way.

Here's to 2013!

We all made it through the holidays and another year of Ice Fest!  December sure went by fast and after all the parties and events January feels like we put the breaks on quickly.  We had such a great last few weeks enjoying so much time with family at all the Christmas and then spending the week up north at my mom's, it's hard to be back at work 5 days a week. 

It has been fun watching all the neices and nephews at Christmas and their birthdays these last few months.  So much fun watching them grow!  We always get new pics of them for Christmas so it's funny replacing their previous year picture with the new one and seeing all the past years.  Especially watching how much Justin has grown the last 5 or 6 pictures!  Cash is now talking, Isabelle is crawling and Mataya is becoming a little person!  We have so much fun being with them.

Harley has been keeping himself busy in his off season by working with his Dad to get all of their plows and equipment ready for snow.  They were out for 27 hours in a row from that one big snow we got in December!  Good thing he loves to plow, he is now waiting for the next snow.  Wish it would a bit more, doesn't have to be the 19 inches like we got but just enough to keep him busy for a few hours a week.  He will be heading up to Canada with his mom this week to check on the construction of the cabin up there, hopefully that will all be finished soon- can't wait to see it!  Hoping we can get up there a few times this year for some fishing. 

I have been doing some crocheting, hoping to get a few more projects done now that the holidays are done and we are less busy.  We are also not going to do IVF until the Spring now, our insurance is great but we have to come up with the money up front and with Harley laid off this winter we will wait till he is back working in March/ April before starting again.  We will be trying to get things to work before then in hopes to save money and stress of all of that.  I've started taking some supplements and will be starting Herbal Life this week in hopes to lose some weight and get my cycle to regulate itself.  So we'll see and keep praying for us!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!
