Well, we are still here trucking along in Columbia. We have not really done anything else with baby stuff, or really talked about it much more. Chris thinks we should just sell the house and travel the world for 3 months. That's his solution to not being pregnant. In all seriousness though, to me the next logical step is frozen embryo transfer (we have 2 from our last cycle). Chris asked me why I thought that was the next logical step....and you know, I didn't really have a good answer. My only thoughts were, well we have them, and I don't want them to just stay frozen while we're not pregnant. I suppose he is right though, that's not a reason to do it. We truly need to pray and see if that is what God wants us to do. At any rate, I guess the positive of the situation is that I can jet ski this summer.
Life outside of baby talk.... I have been working alot lately, or at least it seems that way. I'm also training a new nurse at work. I enjoy teaching so it's a nice change of pace at work. We are going this week/weekend down to Joplin to see Chris' family, his brother and sister-in-law and kids are in town from North Carolina. So that should be fun. We are also thinking about what we want to do for our 5 year anniversary this year. We'd like to take a big trip, but not sure where. Outside of that, we are just hanging out. Hope everyone is well.

When Your Stomach Drops
Hi everyone. We are getting along here in Columbia okay. I am still sad and disappointed, but trying my best to move on. Trying not to focus on the hurt, and trying not to be mad at God. Not saying that it's working, but I'm trying.
It's funny how when good things are said, you sometimes wonder what is wrong. Chris is in Nixa, MO til Wednesday. He left yesterday evening and it is a long 4 days here without him. McAlisters is rolling out their new menu items this week there. Normally this is not a big deal, except that there are some big changes. They installed a dishwasher, as McAlisters is going to plates and silverware rather than the disposable stuff. Also they are starting a "choose 2" menu option as well as introducing the panini. So it's a big deal and he needed to be there for training and roll out.
All that said, he's out and about tonight with some of our friends from Nixa. He text messaged me. And the bottom just dropped out of my stomach. It was a very sweet text message, but the kinda text message you don't necessarily expect unless....something is wrong. Terribly wrong.
This is what it said:
It was followed by another text message that was also sweet and encouraging about our recent journey. I, of course, immediately called him. I was worried he'd been in an accident and was really hurt or something. He answered and was perfectly safe, eating dinner with our friend Tim. Why is it that our brain automatically goes to the bad side when someone encourages you out of the blue? Strange. It's not like Chris isn't encouraging to me regularly. This is not out of character for him. But because I didn't know exactly where he was and could not lay eyes on him, I totally freaked out. It's a good reminder though, that we sometimes take for granted the best things in our life. If nothing else right now, I am thankful God has given him (Chris) to me. I'm blessed with a wonderful husband going on 5 years now. That is a lot more than some find in a lifetime. There is a lot to be thankful for!
