Home Sweet Home

Hey everyone!

Well we made it home Monday at 1:30 pm.  It was a long and exhausting 13 hours of flying, but we made it!  Glen and I had this rocking feeling for the rest of the day until we crashed at 7:00.  Our bodies have done a pretty good job with the jet lag and getting back into the groove with this time zone.  Istanbul was 8 hours ahead of Texas.

It was funny, because when we went to pick up Wiley and Wilson they didn't recognize us for a minute.  They came up to us like, Hmmm....new people.  Then we both said, Hey boys!  And they started going NUTS jumping up and down and barking!  I was like did y'all already forget about us? Wiley has stayed pretty close since we brought him home. He's always been such a Momma and Daddy's boy.

Glen is back to work and I'm working on getting my Scentsy business going again especially with the holidays coming.  This a great time to start booking parties to get free product and to buy gifts for the holidays.  I think I'm going to go up to Eagle Mountain Elementary here in the next couple of weeks and let everyone smell the new scents and pass out the new catalog for the fall/winter.

They have a super cute warmer out right now for Halloween called Fright Night. I actually just got it yesterday.  Here is a picture of it!  Let me know if any of you are interested in ordering one!



I'm feeling MUCH better!  Last week was horrible and I felt like I had been hit by a truck, but this week I'm feeling much more like myself!  The progesterone shots are going well.  Glen is doing a fantastic job of giving them!  I'm so proud of him.  He's been such so supportive husband and a trooper during all this!  If it were the reverse, I know I would have passed out a few times already from all the things he has seen while holding my hand.  I'm really surprised I never passed out during all of it. I guess I just did a really good job of turning my head and trying to think of anything but what was going on.

The blood pregnancy test is scheduled for 9:00 am on Monday, October 4.  The time can't fly by quick enough!   I'm on pins and needles wanting to know the result.  I'm cautiously optimistic. It's REALLY hard for me to even think about or fathom that it will be positive.  Since I started down this path over six years ago with my first husband and now continuing with Glen, all I have seen is negative pregnancy tests, heartache, and disappointment. It's just what I have come to expect.  I wish I could have more certainty that it worked, but after so many years of disappointment the heart and mind get to where they put up walls so as to help buffer the hurt if is to fail.  I know last week I was thinking I can never go through this again and this is my only shot.  But I'm so thankful that God allows the mind to forget pain so easily, and now a week later I'm like I will try this ONE more time and that's it. After that we will pursue adoption. I'm not so hell-bent on having my own biological kids as I am on just being a Mom.  There are many ways to get to the status of Mom other than being pregnant and giving birth.

 I'm so loving this wonderful weather here!  It's just absolutely beautiful!!  I love being able to have the windows open and to feel the breeze blowing through the house!  I can't wait to go the State Fair.  I'm suppose to be going here in the next week and I can't wait!!!

I hope you all are doing well!  Thank you all for your support and prayers!
