You may have noticed my marked radio silence of late. I felt that I didn't have much to report on and, as per usual, I have been crazy busy! However, I have come by to update you on some MAJOR movement in our pursuit of IVF. WE HAVE DATES!!!!! As outlined in my previous postings, … Continue reading It’s a date

DID YOU KNOW?! September is the month of my birth! Normally, I adore birthdays. I love to throw birthday parties, anyone that attended any of Tim's birthday parties in the last 4 years can certainly attest to that. His 35 taco fiesta is still my favorite so far. That brisket!!
