Grammy, Crabbing, Hiking and Waterfalls

Hail to Queen Mag!! Happy 95th cant wait until 100! Crabbing big Willie style, Hiking and Waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, Playing with Horses and Goats! What more could you last for.

Paradise RV

WOW!!! I saw this amazing recreational vehicle and just fell in love. We were driving thru the small town of Blue Rapids, Kansas and I couldn't believe my eyes. I could only imagine how great this would look parked in the front yard at our house.

Dream Car

While in the town of Waterville, Kansas I found this little gem. I was so stoked that I went ahead and purchased the beast. We are going to be the coolest folks in our neighborhood.

We're back from vacation!!

Our travels began in Kearney, Nebraska then we shot to Portland, Oregon and ended in Waterville, Kansas. We went to Kearney to celebrate Michael's Grandmothers 95th birthday!! Uncle Steve and Auntie Jan were our hosts and really outdid themselves, it was AC (action central) all the time and food, we ate like kings everyday, every meal! Thank you so much for taking such good care of us. We got to spend time with Michael's cousins, aunts, uncles who came from all over. California, Florida, Minnesota and Oregon; if I forgot a state, sorry!! There was not a whole lot of sight seeing in Kearney but we did manage to find some corn, horses and goats!! We then went to Portland to hang with Auntie Jules and John and they were also outstanding hosts. Can we come live with you, hehe. Michael's cousin Will took us crabbing our first day there, we didn't have any luck but we sure did have a good time!! John and Julie cooked for us a lot and we ate like kings again, damn I wish that Buttress/Casey cooking would come to my kitchen in Florida, hehe. We went hiking, saw some beautiful waterfalls and did some shopping. So much to do so little time, we will be back for sure!! Our last stop was Kansas but it was not a social call I'm afraid. My grandfather had been battling brain cancer and died while we were in Portland, so on that Thursday the 16th when we were suppose to come home, we flew to Kansas to be with my family and pay our respects and say goodbye to an incredible man. We finally made it home on the 18th about 1am, we were glad to be home and our doggies were jumping for joy!! Check out some of the pictures!! Thanks again to all the families everywhere, we love you all and cant wait to do it again, before grammy hits 100!!

Doctors Visit

We went to the doctor yesterday for a follow-up to everything that has been going on. He said he does not know why I keep having miscarriages could be bad luck or not. They are going to run a few blood tests to make sure there is nothing medically wrong with either one of us. We had the chromosomal test done yesterday and it takes 2 to 3 weeks before we find out the results, and then next week I will be having a blood clotting and autoimmune test, those results only take a few days. So we will let you know when we know something. We will be doing IVF in November, this is a forced break due to that is when the next IVF cycling is. We are bummed that we have to wait this long but know its what is best for my body. The doctor wants me to rest and get geared up for November, it is very important not only to be physically ready but mentally as well. We knew August would be out to do anything and I will get to start my meds at the end of October---so it should be here before we know it and we will have FOOTBALL SEASON to keep us busy!! GO GATORS!!!! The doctor said I was a bigger challenge than he expected and he will start me off more aggressively with the medications than he normally would a 31 year old. Figures its always something with me. Hopefully I wont become a bigger challenge and behave myself!! I have had a rough few weeks but am feeling better each day, still have a few crying spells but that is to be expected. We have a great support system with all of you guys and I know Michael appreciates all the help he can get, hehe!! Im not that crazy am I? So we will take each day as it comes and will be fueled up and ready to go full force in November!! Giddy-Up!!
