A year ago today, a mother lost her battle with cancer. She fought hard for the last three months she had. She lived a life that was full. She enjoyed her grandchildren and loved her husband. She set examples for us to learn from when we were young. She was raised by a hardworking German family that showed their love in different ways. She was a good mother and a good woman.
I miss you Mom. Remembering you today as you've been with God for a year, walking with Kevin, your brothers, and in-laws; living among the angels. We'll see you again some day. I know you are watching over us and I hope we are doing you proud.
May you rest in peace. I love you.

IVF Update...
Well, that last post kinda stunk....I guess I need to review some more things about creating your blog and how to align things correctly!
My apologies to Dana for not making this the most presentable descrption of her work. I'll have to add more and align them better very soon!
For now, I'm gonna update you lovely people on our IVF journey. Last month's transfer was yet another unsuccessful one. I'm a little bummed, considering it was the third one and 3rd times the charm, right? WRONG!!
Dr. Uhler suggested a surgical procedure to make sure that all I's are dotted and T's are crossed along with doing a mock cycle so that we can really make sure that next time is the winner. Let's hope it is! Keep all those fingers and toes crossed, August 2nd I have surgery and we'll see if all is good...
For those of you who might be interested in finding out more about some of the steps that women take while on the "Infertility" journey, take a look at this forum....It's got a lot of information for several different types of diagnoses and it might help you or someone you know understand how to deal with friends and family who go through these trials. I found this site when we realized that we weren't going to be conceiving without some medical intervention!
RESOLVE is also a great group to try and become a part of. They have local support groups throughout the US and educational programs are also available. It's cool, check it out too if you're interested. They're actually The National Infertility Association.
And last but not least, I'd like to give credit to a wonderful team of doctors and nurses who are fully supportive, extremely intelligent and famously knowledgable about infertility and how to cope with it. These are the people at FCI. Dr. Uhler, Dr. Beltsos, the nurses, laboratory and administrative staff are fabulous. If you need an RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist), this is the place to go. Considering IVF? this is the place!
Well, that's it for now....I hope you all enjoy the new slideshow I've added along with some new layouts. I'll be posting some more goodies in a little bit!
Talk to ya later~

I'm a Guest CT Member for Traci Reed - July 2007
I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted last. It's been hectic and crazy around here. Just a few things have been happening and I'm so excited to share them with you!
1. First of all, and what I am most excited about...June 27th we went for another IVF transfer and I'm feeling great. Slight cramping, VERY exhausted, sore from the injections, but positive that this time is the keeper. 3rd times the charm they say! We find out next Wednesday the 11th. I'm sure that will be a BIG posting when we get the positive sign! For now, I'll just keep working and keep my mind clear of wanting to POAS!! Hard to do, but this time I'm gonna make it!
2. I was selected to be Guest CT for TRACI REED!!! Yes, I know....she's awesome. Just as I was thinking that I really wanted to get into scrapping more and possibly learn more about the trade of designing, I found out how to apply for CT and who was looking for new members. Now, I almost missed the cut off for Traci, but she chose me for July as a guest to her CT Team and I couldn't be more excited. Here are a few layouts that I've recently made using her SUPER COOL We're Solid Paper Paks. Visit ScrapbookGraphics.com to get the entire set! These are just too cool and are the only papers you really need in your scrappin' arsenal!!!

Made With Love, Used Traci Reed's We're Solid, Baby It's You papers and Traci's Faded Tee Kit

That really means a lot to me. Next posting I will introduce another Designer that I've been creating layouts for. Her name is Lorene Hill and she's got some really cute new stuff to show off. I'll direct you to her store and blog and show you some layouts!
Until next time, have a wonderful life!!
