BLAH!!!

So I am a little jaded right now. It is only May 9th and this year has been full one disappointment after another. First with work, cutting back on everything, meaning no job openings for a very long time. Second, the miscarriage. Third, thought we had a slam on a house, then its a no go. (Got to love people not adding on to their home the correct way.) Right now I just need a little bit of good news if you know what I mean. I am trying to be positive. I know this is all happening for a reason, but a person can only take so much disappointed in a short time. Hopefully Jeremy gets a second interview and then gets the job.

Secret Website

So here is my secret website I have been hiding. I even hid it from Jeremy for months until he saw me working on it one day. I don't always know if people are going to like my pictures but people have been asking so I started a photography website. Right now its just AbbyLynne Photography, but I really want a creative name so if you have an idea (keep it clean Jess) I'm open for ideas.

Finally . . . a New House

So after 21 contracts and looking at over 100 houses we finally have one that is ours!!! On Wednesday we hear from our realtor that the house we really wanted out in Laveen was ours if we wanted it. When I heard this, I wasn't excited like I thought I would be. Since we had been looking out in the east valley and we hadn't heard about all the other contracts I was in a delima. Then to make matters worse there was a new house on the market to choose from, but this one was not a foreclosure or a short sale. Hopefully we might have a shot of getting something done fast and not wait on the bank who takes FOREVER!!! After talking things over with our realtor we went to go look at this house. When we went in, it was perfect. A 4bed/2 bath one story house, totally remodeled with granite countertops, travertine floors, and a pool at Gilbert and Baseline. Since it was a regular sale we were able to put in an offer in the morning and find out if it was ours by 5pm that night. We are so excited about this house you have no idea!!! Now we just pray that everything goes fine with the financing and inspection. If not, I will be so disappointed, I don't think I can take another one right now.

Here is a link to our new home!!!

Hardest week of my life

So I have had one of the hardest weeks of my life. It has been a whirlwind of emotions. On April 21 we went to the doctor for our first appointment which we had been atticipating for a long time. We were able to see the ultrasound of our little "butterball" but unfortunatly there was no heartbeat. That was the most devistating news we could have heard. I felt like I was in a movie or something. That first night was especially difficult because it was our 3rd anniversary. I had had the brilliant idea to schedule it on the same day to make it extra special. Unfortunalty it was exactly the opposite. We were still able to go out to eat and enjoy the evening as much as possible. The next day we went to another doctor just for a second opinion. There was still no heartbeat so we prepared for a procedure to make things less painful for me. The doctor said that there was probably something wrong genetically with the baby and this happens in about 20% of pregnancies. Thankfully we got pregnant pretty fast the first time around and as the doctor told Jeremy, "Her anatomy looks good". So he said that in a month or 2 we should be good to go. Now we are just praying for a healthy baby.

Healing physically was much easier that emotionally but through all of this I have been trying to stay on the bright side. At least I won't be pregnant in the summer. I have also realized what a wonderful support system I have. With it being our 3rd anniversary, this whole experience has reminded me why I married Jeremy. He is the most supportive, sweet, caring, wonderful, amazing, thoughtful husband ever!!! He is so perfect for me and I realize that more and more everyday. We also have an amazing family and group of friends. I wouldn't change telling everyone we were pregnant right away because we were able to celebrate and be excited about the baby God gave us. For some reason it was not meant to be and we were able to be surrounded by everyone that loves us. It has made this situation so much easier to deal with. I definatly thank God for each person in my life and I know He has the best plan for us, we just have to be patient.
