Our homestead
It is so sad to be packing up my home that I have spent so much love and effort re-doing. As I was packing boxes last night, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion and I was confused. This home was Brendan’s house before we were married. Even though he gave me free rein to re-decorate and change whatever I wanted, it just never felt like home. I can’t positively say why that is, maybe just because it wasn’t “mine.” So when I first started packing, I was so excited. Finally I was going to own a home with the man I love. But I find myself feeling sad and not wanting to leave. Tonight will be the last night that I will spend in the house I built with my husband. On to bigger and better adventures!
My TTC efforts
With the move and being homeless, we are temporarily suspending all efforts. Brendan is having a consultation with the urologist on 8/12 to have a pre-op for the surgery on his varicocele. We are hoping and praying that this will give us some kind of improvements in his sperm and count enough to improve any more attempts we make at IVF or even with IUI’s. If not, we are moving on to DI. We already have our donor picked out and he is just waiting for the right timing. I really wanted to try with my August cycle but it looks like that it will be too stressful of a time.
My future
I am at a point in my life where my career is no longer fulfilling- in fact, it bores me. I have outgrown my position and there is just not much more I can do. Currently I am responsible for training all new employees at the credit union, as well as, all other training for existing employees. There really isn’t much else for me to do here so I think its time I packed my office. I have decided that I want to go back to school and become a teacher. It has been something that I have wanted for a long time but I have just never had the energy to go back to school. Now I am ready so after much soul searching and budgeting, January will be my goal to get started! I have so much to look forward to- a new home and a new career!
The house
Construction of the new house has begun! They dug the basement, poured the foundation and the basement walls and today they started the framing. I can’t wait. We are using the camcorder to record every little bit so we have something to show our children some day!
Hugs to all,
Jackie
