ITS FRIDAY!

We get the keys to our new apartment this afternoon!

 

Yesterday, after work I got nosey and impatient and I wanted to see the apartment that we will be in, so I asked them to take me to it & let me in so I could look around and see it empty. I love it. The space is actually vary large. Our new bedroom is huge, and our closet is like the size of the bedroom we are in currently. Then my husband got home, and wanted to see it... so we went to the leasing office and asked to be let in again!! He was surprised of the size! I am sure once we get all of our things in there it wont look quite as big. The view from the apartment is amazing. Our balcony faces the entire city. It is awesome. I can't wait to sit out there tonight!

 

I didn't think about this until last night when I saw it... we have vaulted ceilings. I don't have a ladder. I don't think I will be painting today. :(

 

Plus we were unable to get EVERYTHING packed up. So after work I will have to finish packing, and then I am going to try to get all of the boxes and all of our clothes over there. I am trying to decide if we should rent U-Haul over night. It will only cost about $25, and I think it will be a big help. I mean it is just from one side of the complex to the other, but we don't have a truck unless one of our friends pull through for us. And I don't want to make 300 trips back and forth. That will be a waste of time in my opinion. I'll see what my husband says.

 

I really want to sleep in it tonight! I am super excited!(:

 

 

My married man.

 

 

I just love this guy so much. I really do. Even those times where I honestly consider punching him in the face because I am so frustrated with him. I am overwhelmingly in love with him.

 

He has made me a better person. I guess that's why we call them the better half right? He really is! He can drive me up a wall, he really can, like no one else. He can annoy me to the point where I want to rip my hair out and just slam things against a wall... its happened. But he has taught me to be a stronger person. He has taught me how to be the bigger person, and how to let things that don't matter go. He has taught me how to watch my tongue, and only say things I will mean the next day. He has taught me wrong from right. He has taught me to be comfortable with myself. He has taught me how to be a more patient person. Mainly because I am always waiting for his difficult self, and to let life take its course. He just goes with it. He's that type of person. I am the planner, the organizer, he is the mess the chaos the "we are going with the flow, so shut up". He is so smart, and he has taught me little things like... how to check when my oil is low, or how to check where the stud is in the wall.  I am whole when he is with me. I am comfortable. I feel supported and loved, even when he isn't exactly showing it right then.

 

We both still have a lot to learn about our relationship, and our love. We still have a lot to learn about life. I really hope I am doing it all with him forever. We are starting a journey together in the Military. I understand it isn't all puppies and ice cream, but I am so willing to go through it all with him. I love my husband. I wouldn't have chosen any one else, and I am so happy, like beyond happy, that he chose me.

 

I wonder what I have taught him?

 

 

Good Day.

Despite the fact that there are two hours left of work, and it seems to be going by slower than all hell, today has been good so far.

My husband took his physical today for the Navy! Which is awesome, because we thought he would have to wait to do anything until they had my social security number. Good news there too, my work has a copy of my social security card that his recruiter can accept! So, once I get that copy, I can e-mail it to his recruiter then my husband can officially join the Navy.

I really don't know what my husband would do without me sometimes? He has to get a copy of a certification for a class that he completed in 2009, he called the school and I guess they told him they had no record and he gave up? So I called and made them give me the information as to how I can get a hold of a copy of this certification. He just isn't assertive enough. He's also really nice to people he doesn't know, and doesn't really know how to get what he wants from people. So I do it. I'm really good at being the rude customer when I don't get the help I think I deserve. I am a little loud, and very aggressive. My husband gets a little embarrassed, but I always tell him that if I don't get that way then no one will take me seriously. Especially because I am a young little white girl. I don't believe in letting people walk all over me. I don't really care if that makes me mean or not?

I went to my appointment this morning and everything went great! They did an ultrasound, the uncomfortable and awkward kind, and let me know that I have great working parts in there! She then took me in a room and let me know that she is going to set up my profile, and then we are going to wait for a couple to choose me! She said this part takes around a month. Once a couple has chosen me I will do blood work and start my hormone cycle where my husband will have to inject me once a day with two different types of hormones, for 10 days. I am a little scared about this part, but it is so worth it!

I can honestly say I am going to give someone the gift of life. How freaking amazing.

My husband is home right now, and he took apart the kitchen table! So that's a start to him packing. He thinks we don't really need to pack anything up just because we are moving across the complex, but... It will take forever on Saturday if we don't pack things up and move it all together in boxes!

I have to do the laundry tonight.

organ donor, now egg?

Today I am going in for my first interview / ultrasound to become an egg donor. I haven't had any fertility problems and I would really like to be able to help a couple who is unable to conceive.

I have a friend who is going through the process right now. She has already been chosen by a couple, and will start her cycle here soon. She is expecting the retrieval of the eggs to be in November.

It is a common and safe process, and can be done up to six times. Though, I think I am going to do it only once or maybe twice.

Of course you are compensated for your time and effort in more than just cash. I would like to say, that going into this I was all heart... having the need to help someone is such a huge way, but my husband and I were actually turned on to the idea by the amount of money that was compensated for the process. Bad, right? I know. I feel guilty.

I keep reading about the process more and more, and reading about the families that exists because of egg donors. I am caring way more about the aspect of helping a deserving couple conceive a child. Its a great feeling. Unfortunately some women are not able to conceive for so many reasons, and that is weighing heavy on my heart. Having children has and always will be such a huge life goal for myself and my husband that I would be completely depressed if I learned that I was unable to. I  could only image what some of these couples have been through. I want to help them. I want to make someone happy, known or anonymously.

I know this isn't an easy subject for many women. I know that there will be a little piece of me in someone's arms making them smile every day, and as corny as that sounds... I am so excited to make that happen.

If I get chosen that is. Obviously becoming an egg donor isn't like donating cash to an organization. You don't just give it up no questions asked. There are extensive health and personal questions that are asked. They will interview me, and give me an ultrasound, then if I am approved to become and egg donor, I will have to wait until a couple choses me. I will be crushed if I am unable to donate. I am also a little weary about someone choosing me. I have dark brown hair, brown eyes... no special features.. My friend that is going through the process has blonde hair, and blue eyes. The all American child. I'm hoping someone choses me. I want to help someone in a beautifully magical way.


So yeah, this is my new crazy adventure on top of everything else going on!

For every down there's an up!

On the bright side!!!!! We get the keys to our new apartment in 4 days! Yayayayayay!

I'm more excited than he is!

On Friday a friend of mine is going to help me paint! We bought a new bedding set and a master bathroom set! I'm super excited! I told my husband he can decorate the guest bathroom. We'll see how that goes. I can't wait to get all moved in and to start decorating!

We had a walk through of our current apartment on Sunday! The apartment manager said she loved my cozy apartment and I kept it really nice. I love getting compliments on my things! Hahaha

I wish it was Friday already! This week after work we will be packing things up, making it easy to move it all. My dad will be coming in town with his truck, and we have a buddy that will be helping as well with his pick up. Ooooh! I'm excited!!
