Almost

I almost changed the background to two scantily-clothed women for Valentine's Day- just to see if anyone is looking. :) Saved by the appeal of this super cute background for V-Day.

Second job? Again?

There is a new restaurant opening in the airport and I think it would be a great financial opportunity to make some extra money and help me get a little further out of debt. Which would be great for the future when I want a car and will be able to get one...I applied on Friday and I have an interview tomorrow (Wednesday). If they offer me the job and agree to just 2 shifts a week- then I will have a 2nd job and less time.

It would be great to have extra money again- but I noticed that even though I did focus on tuition first- most of the extra money went to a lot of other things- not really bringing my debt down significantly. It's kind of like the more you work the more steam you need to blow off and the more you spend money on other things because "I deserve after working..."

However, I am much closer to having my basement loan paid off and it is a huge priority for me. So, I think I could focus there- I'll let you know how it goes. :)

And the weekend...FINALLY

Hello Friday,

I have been looking forward to seeing you for quite a while now. Your embrace welcomes me to the weekend and I am excited to spend some time with you and your friends, Saturday and Sunday.

Thank you again,

More posts for ME!

Hello, hello, hello,
I only have 3 conferences left and then I am done with conferences for the year. It is a great time in that I like setting goals with the students- but it really sucks the life out of me and I am exhausted. I go to bed as soon as I get home and stay there until it is time to leave again.
I will see you all at the funeral (Bishop Losee) or at the play (Games Afoot) on Sat. I think Sat is the one-year anniversary of Skip's death- everyone remember to support Auntie if you can.

Family...

This is just a little comment about my feelings about our family. With so many people it's hard to connect all the time- but I'm grateful to know that we are the kind of family that pulls together when support is needed.

Thank you- Liss

And it's official- I'm a Master

Wondering who finally finished his/her Masters degree with a 4.0 GPA- ME! Thank you.

LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a boyfriend!! I knew this day would come at some point in my life. hehe. LA was great and Kevin is great. Just wanted to get the quick, short version out there.

This is me and Kevin at a pier in Malibou

Sorry it is dark. The light was behind us.

Love me

Good News and Bad News but, no Terribly news

So, the bad news first. That's what I think is best. Out of 16 eggs, only 10 were mature. Out of those 10 mature eggs, only 3 fertilized. So, the sperm looked great and were moving well. Basically I have hard eggs. Oh man! If we need to do IVF again we will need to use a needle to fertilize the eggs. This is more expensive.

The good news. We have 3 fertilized eggs! We only planned on transferring 2 in the first place. So, if we do not get pregnant this attempt then we will have to pay for medications and go through the hormones again!

We are doing the transfer this Saturday at 10:00am. We are going in at 9 am for acupuncture and paper work. Please, please, please pray that this will work this first time around. I don't want to do this again. Not at this point in the game. I just want to be done. We ultimatly want what the Lord wants but, hopefully we have the same goal in mind. ;)

Love, Suzy and Trevor

EGGS

So, Trevor and I have given a generous donation today. We did egg retrieval today. Which means that the doctor used a very long needle to take the eggs out of my ovaries while I was asleep. Man, I love drugs. I feel slightly out of it but, good. Trevor gave his 'donation' this morning. So, our eggs are being fertilized today. I had 16 eggs...which is good. You normally have 1 or 2 a month. Hooray for hormone injections. We will find out tomorrow how many eggs will fertilize. Hopefully all of them. We will most likely have the fertilized eggs implanted aka put in my uterus, Sunday. So, please keep us in your prayers, thoughts and this will work. Hooray. Sorry I have no pictures. The needle would just scare you. ;)

Fingers Crossed

If all goes well- or better than well- I will be graduating Friday, 9 December from WSU. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I can make this deadline. To accomplish this, I must have my thesis project done, defended, and printed by Sat. 12 Nov. Thank you for your prayers and wishes.
