Fenway Surpise!

My husband, Kevin, is turning 30 on April 1st and I wanted to do something fan-freakin-tastic for him since this is a big year.  I am not good at surprises as I usually spoil them the minute I find out about them.  But not this time! 

Kevin LOVES the Boston Red Sox.....like really LOVES them!  We have seen them play a few times and he loved it, but he always said that he wanted to go to Fenway to see a game.  This was on his Bucket List!  One small problem HE HATES TO FLY so much so that he took a greyhound bus back one time and wasted the plane ticket!  Crazy!  He did tell me that he would fly one more time in his life and it would be to Fenway!  Knowing this information I got to thinking that maybe I could pull off a trip for his birthday!  I started looking for tickets about a month ago and was shocked that the game closet to K's birthday at Fenway they would be playing none other than the New York Yankees....big rival there in case you didn't know!  So, I started pricing tickets and found the perfect ones!  Then the hard part was finding flights and knowing how expensive they were I didn't know how I would afford them.  Enter in my wonderful parents, they LOVE LOVE LOVE Kevin and I have somewhat been replaced by him, no hard feelings.....well they decided that they wanted to pay for our plane tickets!!!  Blessing!  Next we found a hotel on the Bay in Boston!

I had all the details worked out and ready and now to hold my surprise in!  I waited and waited and was so nervous so finally last night we agreed it would be the right time to tell Kevin.  We had dinner at my parents house with them and my Aunt Betty and Uncle Karl...after dinner I said I would I would like to talk about Kevin's birthday...he looked very strange at me and I gave him a folder with all the details and told him to flip through the pages....he did and was speechless!  I am so excited and can't wait to get there and have this experience!  Sorry honey, your boots will have to wait till Christmas, but I don't think you mind!!!

Our seats are the row in front of the dunkin donuts sign on row 19!!!  Can't wait till we are in our seats!!!  I will post pictures of everything once we get there on April 9th!!!

OK, OK, OK......

I know, I know, I have been a bad blogger.  My Uncle Johnny has been after me for months to change my blog and update more.  I didn't know I had so many fans. HAHA I am only kidding!  To be honest...I am so consumed with with work that my other blog gets all my creative juices and this one has been neglected.  I promise I will try to do better in the future!  So I will try to catch everyone up in one blog!  I will try to do this by months here goes:

Christmas Season/December/My Favorite Month

Kevin and I were very busy in December.  We had several Christmas Parties to attend with all different kinds of people.  I can't believe we got them all in but we did and I am so glad.  My favorite thing about Christmas this year was that we surprised my parents with a big flatscreen TV!  It is a funny story really but I don't have time to tell it here so I will just say that I am a MARATHON SPRINTER on Black Friday!  Yes, you read that right, I beat Kevin to the TV at Target and was actually the first one there period.  Kevin said I haven't been athletic a day in my life, but I came through that day!  My parents LOVED the TV and I cried!  Can we say CLOMID!!!  haha  I loved being out of school!  I had lunch with friends everyday and spent way to much money, but lucky Kevin understood my need for time away with great friends.

Snow Season/January/Freezing Cold

January was pretty uneventful!  We had a few snow days and that was nice to stay in bed all day.  I became a fan of recipe blogs and I am trying to cook one recipe a week from a blog.  I know your thinking one a week.....well folks when you don't cook....one a week is like a miracle.  BABY steps i tell ya!  I am doing the best I can.  I made a Taco Ring!  Kevin loved it!  I put it on my facebook and I think they all liked it too, several have said that they made one!  I went to watch the band Boom Kenetic with Linsdey and had so much fun...I was nervous at first becasue I never go out anymore, well when I was on the front row hands in the air laughing so hard....I guess my fears were over.  I am way past my prime, but it was a great time.  January was also the month for the Miss America Pagent!  I am obsessed with Miss America!  We had a girls night at Holly's and watched and Miss Arkansas did amazing!  I wanted to throw up when she didn't win!  Oh well!  I used to love Miss America when they would win and go sit in the big whicker chair with their crown on.  Oh memories....my parents allowed me to be the winner every year and sit in our den on a throne.  Oh Bless! 

The season we are always in INFERTILITY SEASON

I really don't have anything new to report other than CLOMID is a drug sent up from the pits of you know where to make me crazy.  Before Clomid I was emotional but on Clomid, I am just a train wreck.  For real, I cried at a toothpaste commercial!  We have done 2 cycles on 50mg and I am about to start my 3rd cycle of 100mg!  I really don't think it is going to work, but I am going to try.  People ask me all the time about how I am doing...honestly I would say that I am at PEACE!  I have read some pretty powerful things about how you can't let bitterness take over and you just need to rest in the PEACE that God has a plan and you are waiting on His mircale.  I have said before that if my desire is to have a baby then I will have a baby some way some how and if that is not God's plan then He will change my desire.  I have seen so many people let this tear them down to the point that it is just sad.  Don't get me wrong it is sad, it is frustrating, it is the deepest valley for me right now, but if my attitude reflects negetively on what God has planned for me that I am not setting a good example for people.  I have to show people that are in my shoes that God is using me to help others and HE is in control.  I might have a different tune on a differet day but today this is how I feel.  I have several friends that I pray will have babies too!!!!  J, T, B, K are a few that come to my mind...Pray for them too!!!!

I hope I haven't put you to sleep!!!  If so goodnight! haha!
