Update

I know that it has been a while since my last real update...
Here is the news on the fertility front:
I am not preggers yet. I did however, start the fertility drug Clomid. I found out from my Dr. that i wasn't ovulating, I know I was thinking the same thing, how can you have a period and not ovulate, but I guess it can happen. The Clomid is what kick starts the ovulation process. Let me just say that I have never experienced such horrible hot flashes in my whole life!!!! They are bad. Besides the hot flashes I love Clomid.
I used to take ovulation tests and never get any results at all. The test line would be there, but no result line...EVER!!! After following the Dr's. orders I started taking the tests on day 11. Low and behold there was actually a result line. It was faint, but I could definitely see the second pink line:) I tested every morning and finally on day 20 the lines were the same color!!!!!!!!! I took a picture and sent it to Shelby and my sister. I called my mom and my friend Jen. I then ran down the hall to show my other friend Marcus. I know it sounds crazy, but I was so excited that I was actually ovulating that I wanted everyone to know. When you take those tests and there are never any results and then one day there is it is the best feeling in the world. I wanted to share it with everyone.
As much as I want to get pregnant this month has been a great break through month. If I'm not pregnant at least I was ovulating and the Clomid is working. I couldn't be happier! Now we just have to wait and see if this is the month. Praying everyday!

10 Year Reunion

This past Saturday Shelby and I went to my 10 year reunion. I'm glad I went!
It seems to me that no one has changed. They still hang out with the same people every weekend, drink with the same people every weekend and haven't really gone anywhere. Of course they have jobs and kids and a house, but they haven't moved beyond the high school. For the people i graduated with this was just another weekend to see each other and party.
I wanted it to be something special, something to remember. I was glad that I got to see some of my old classmates, but for the most part it was a little disappointing.
When we were on our way home I told Shelby that I had worked so hard over the past 10 years to remove myself from everyone that I felt no connection to them when I saw them. There were people there that had changed and done something with themselves, but like me they had removed themselves from the whole scene. It was good to catch up with those people and that was it.
So all in all it was a learning expierence. I learned that some people will never change, but thats just who they are. I might go to my 20 year, but that will have to be something more thought over in the next 10 years.
