Craptastic Day...

Last night was my first night back to league since Vegas. I kinda wish I had skipped. There was more drama than in mean girls. I seriously thought I left high school behind. I'm going to have to channel my inner Regina George to get through this (as in I need to be fake and pretend like nothings pissing me off right now. I'm waiting to judge until after I see what moves people make. I told you, lots of stupid HS drama). I'll spare you the details on this, I'm trying to reserve judgement for now. But there is potential for friendships to be lost. I'll update later.

Anyshit, G is away at UVA getting his learn on this weekend. So it's just me and my girl! :-) She's doing much better now. I THINK we're on the right track. She seems to be feeling a lot better. I snapped this photo of her the other night; this is her normal sleeping position!

G gets home LATE Saturday. Until then we'll be watching lots of college football to pass the time. Excited for the long weekend! Every weekend should be a three day weekend! It would make working a lot more tolerable in my opinion.

Tonight us girls are going to watch Boise State vs. Michigan State. Go Boise!! One of my alma matter's is University of New Mexico (graduate school). So of course I'm going to cheer on the Mountain West Conference school!!!

I leave you with what I consider to be the best intro for any pre-game show in America. We watch College Gameday on ESPN every Saturday. This tune is catchy and I'm so excited for it's return tomorrow morning! Enjoy Labor Day weekend everyone!

hope is a one way street

okay, time for my emo post for the week. this is rare for me so all comments making fun of me or telling me to snap the hell out of it are welcomed...

Last night G and I had a fight which ended in both of us in tears. He's in grad school at UVA. This program takes him away a lot on the weekends, especially this first full month. We had plans in place that I would go down to Charlottesville during my FW (not this weekend, the following weekend) so we can get down to business. He dropped the bomb on me that they aren't going to be in Charlottesville. They're going to be three hours away. NO WAY am I driving three hours after a full day of work just to bang it out.

Then the realization sets in that we'll hit a couple of days in my FW but not many. Which basically means we should pass go, do not collect $200 and go directly to jail. We're going to have to move directly to cycle 9.

So of course, I finally had a meltdown. He told me it's not his fault. I said it wasn't fair. OF COURSE he came back with the "life isn't fair" statement. Then I flew off the handle. (Insert image of crying Sabrina and litterally flying off the handle here.)

In the end I finally saw some emotion out of G. He's always been so stoic and just "well, we're try again next month." He was pretty stoic through my loss too. I just wanted to feel like he cared. I finally saw that night. Which wasn't my orginial intent, but it happened. I feel slightly better today.

We're going to have to hope and pray this month, as that's about all we have. It's frustrating at times. Thank GOD I have an incredible community of women supporting me along the way. It would be difficult to go at this alone. Right now, hope is a one way street...

okay until tomorrow when my hormones aren't raging out of control and hopefully I'm back to being normal me.

the Hangover

::::DUSTS BLOG OFF::::

yep, I've been MIA for a while. I really want to get this going and do a better job.

Gary and I have been in Vegas for a fabulous vacation. As always, our "home away from home" proved to be ridiculously fun. We stayed at the Mirage Hotel and Casino. I HIGHLY recommend it! You can find out more info about the hotel here. I'm pretty sure my final hangover from Vegas cleared up on Saturday.

Here's a picture of the Mirage pool:

We spent a lot of our down time there. It was awesome to say the least.

Our pool tournament went well. We finished 65th out of 430 teams across the US and Canada. Really proud of our showing for a team we just kind of "threw" together to see what happens. We'll be back next year, I'm confident in our abilities.

This is an article about our team. We were featured by the APA.

That was pretty cool for us to experience as well.

Now that we're back it's time to get back to reality. Gary has started grad school at UVA. He'll be gone three out of the next four weekends, which will put a damper in our TTC journey; but we'll make it work somehow. We always have in the past.

We're officially on month 8. I haven't spoken publically about it; but we recently experienced a loss. I was pregnant then it was ripped away. We didn't let it slow us down; but ever month when AF shows; it weighs on my heavily...

Today is CD 2; got some time to reflect. Thank god I have Kristy as well (winking at KK). The longer this journey continues the harder it is; its nice to have someone to lean on!

This month to stay busy in the 2WW I'll be finalizing paint colors so we can get some color in the house! I'm very excited as I'm sick of stark white! Stay tuned! I've go a bazillion ideas!
