Tulsa Fun And Top 2 Tuesday!

I am very happy to join in on my very first Top 2 Tuesday, hosted by Taylor at The Undomestic Momma!

This weeks topic is: TOP 2 BOOKS!! I figured what better day to join than on a day where the topic is all about one of my very favorite things: books! (2nd to shopping of course!)

1)

I absolutely fell in love with this book!! It is my all time favorite and I have read all 4 of the books in the series (and am anxiously awaiting the release of the upcoming one!). I will admit that on more than 1 occasion I have wished that I was Rebecca Bloomwood and have definitely felt like her in a store a time or two!

2)

I just finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago and have recommended it to several friends! This book will really make you look at your relationship with your spouse and re-evaluate what makes you happy. It is definitely not an uplifting, happy story, but is still just as good because of the message of the story!

Now on to Tulsa!...........


After a late start Friday morning, Husband and I drove up to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see our besties- J and K. It took 4 long hours- during which Husband was going insane listening to my off-tune singing and crazy driving- but was worth every minute! This was just the weekend we both needed!

Nothing helps you relax after a crazy couple of weeks more than floating a beautiful river with some food, drinks and friends! (CAUTION: Please excuse me for looking like a hot mess in these pictures! It was 100 degrees outside and humid= my hair not cooperating!)

PS- Husband did have his "test" Friday morning, but I decided to not post about it- let's just say it was a VERY AWKWARD event! I am sure he would rather I not share the details! So far we have not heard any results yet, but we figure no news is good news for now!

A New Chapter in Our Lives

I am already VERY ready for this week to be over for several reasons:

1) Husband and I will be heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma this weekend to visit some of our best friends! I am so excited and cannot wait to get away for a couple of days! Our friends, J and K, are such wonderful people and I think both Husband and I could really use this fun time with them! I will make sure to take plenty of pictures and will likely post about the trip next week :)

2) Husband will be going in for his one and only fertility test on Friday (I am saying "one and only" because Husband is ABSOLUTELY sure they will not find anything wrong with his "swimmers"). I am very anxious for this test because once Husband is in the clear, we can focus on me and start treatment sooner.

3) Probably the most important reason........Husband starts a new job next week! Upon returning from our trip, Monday morning Husband will begin training for what we hope will be a great new career! We keep saying this new opportunity is actually a blessing in disguise because with the new job comes a great benefit package- including infertility coverage! It has been very hard to continue paying for all the tests up to this point- without coverage, fertility testing is not cheap! Hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come!

With the new job, I can't help but think that this is a new chapter in our lives. Husband and I have been going through a few major changes in our lives lately and this just adds to the list: Husband graduated from college in May, we started pursuing fertility treatment, and now a new job! I am both excited and nervous for this "clean slate"!

So with that being said, I am looking forward to the month of June! Summer has always been my favorite season and this summer is already off to a great start!
