I’m back!
I've been gone for a couple of reasons.
First of all my computer had a virus on it and second I didn't have the time to do anything about it until a couple of days ago.
My life has gotten so busy! Stefan and I are both working full time and right now I am doing a lot of overtime and am so exhausted after work and on the weekends we are constantly working on the house.
I can't wait until it is done. Today we bought a carpet for the bedroom and removed more wallpaper in the living room. Last weekend we planted 20 Tuija bushes as a natural fence in the back yard and planted the peach tree that we got as a wedding present. There are sooooo many decisions that we have to make it's crazy. We finally decided on a bathtub and shower and sink and toilet for the bathroom. We'll install the toilet water tank in the wall so there will only be a little button on the wall to flush (saves space and looks much better!) and we're having a double shower and a double bathtub installed. I'm so excited because Stefan and I usually shower and take a bath together but now we'll actually both FIT in the shower and bathtub! Wow- a real luxury. Plus we ordered a double sink so we can brush our teeth at the same time without spitting on each other! Yes, we're finally moving up into the dignified world!
We also finally decided on a couch set that we both like. OK, that was hard! It's a medium grey super soft nu-buck leather couch set with a couch, love seat and chair. Then for the dining room we bought a teak wood table that expands to seat 12 and matching chairs with an extra high back. And a matching sideboard for the dishes! I guess Stefan and I have kind of weird taste. Everyone that we show the furniture to just kind of says reluctantly "OK". It seems that everything here is black with metal trim and cold looking and I don't like that look at all.
As far as TTC, I'm on day 40-something. I'm still temping and haven't Oed once while I've been keeping this diary. I've lost a lot of weight though. I've got more energy and notice that I am more agile than before. But I want to keep losing. I still have one size left to lose! At least I can see and feel a difference! I'm hoping that it will help with PCOS. I really think that my weight is a major cause of the PCOS. I just hope it really helps.
I realize that I've been writing this diary and telling about everything that I've been doing and what is going on, but I have never really told anyone who I really am. Where I came from.
I was born in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in a suburb called West Linn. I lived with my mom, dad and sister. There was always tension in the house and there was at least one fight daily in the house. I was the favored child and my sister and I never got along.
While I was in the sixth and seventh grade my parents lived separated. These were probably the most difficult years of my childhood. During the seventh grade year they moved back together and live in the same house but in separate bedrooms. In grade school and was always the quiet geek in the class. I'd much rather have read a book or spent time with some of my loyal friends that I'm still friends with. Once I started to notice the boys I didn't want to take them home where they would meet my parents and see where I lived. So I opted to make myself unattractive so I wouldn't have to worry about the whole situation. I swore that I never wanted to be like my parents, so it would be easier if I didn't have to deal with it at all. I was never very girlish.
After high school I went to a community college and still lived with my parents. I left and tried a trade school, left the trade school in the middle and took a hiatus. After a while I went back to college for two years. During that time I worked to help pay for school and tried to avoid my parents even though I still lived with them. I had figured out how to deal with them so we wouldn't constantly fight. I knew that I wanted to move out but I didn't have the money and I wanted to finish school first.
Then I met my husband. I was taking German as a requirement in college and met him through my tutor.
Moving here was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have a wonderful marriage with the most perfect man for me. We compliment each other’s personality. We don't fight, we discuss things. And if we argue then it rarely lasts more that two hours, and then we discuss things. Stefan comes from a very good family. Probably the best I've ever met.
I'll be sure to write again soon.
Congratulations to everyone with a ++++ test!
Love,
Cindy
