Disneyland 2012 (Pictures)

We had such a great time in Disneyland...can't wait to visit again next year!

Memories

I'm sitting here in the Long Beach Airport...we are on our way home from the happiest place on earth (DISNEYLAND) We had a lot of fun as usual and sure enjoyed the nice weather. Though the nights were a lillte chilly, we didn't mind bundling up! Since I'm not at home yet, I'll save the pictures for the next post, but here is a few things that have created lasting memories and traditions that we want to keep with our children...

Chocolate covered bananas
Splash mountain
Racing to catch the rides as the parks open
screaming on California Screamin
Gardenwalk Restaurants and SHOPS!
Carmeled apples
Tired feet and legs
Lots and lots of walking....long distances
Unbelievable firework shows
Indiana Jones
John beating all of us on Buzz and Toy Story Mania
Coke Cola (a lot of it)
Magical parades
The World Of Color
Tiffy's Restaurant (the best cinnamon French toast)
Ice Cream
Space Mountain

The list could go on and on...We have made a lot of memories at Disney. We have gone every year since we have been married and plan on continuing the tradition and making memories...See ya again soon!

Happy Valentines Day

Tonight will consist of eating Cafe Rio, cuddling up in the basement, and watching Lady and the Tramp :) It's a classic, and well...it's Disney! Nothing better then spending a nice,laid back night with the hubs.(and Charlie of course)

Happy Valentines Day!

Coming Home...

Elder Huston comes home in just one short month! We are so dang excited and can hardly contain it! John's been waiting for March 9th for...well TWO YEARS!!!

Unexplained...

We went back to RCC today after all our tests to have a follow up appointment with Dr. Hadaska. I was nervous the minute I got up this morning...wondering what our next step would be. I had taken a look at the patient portal where all my test results where listed for my hormone levels, pictures, and blood work were. I couldn't handle not knowing what all the numbers and names meant. It was killing me! And I did not want to go read a bunch of stuff online because that just gets you in trouble. With much patience I made it until 3:00 for our appointment. Dr. Hadaska went over all the tests we have done since this fun journey began after my miscarriage. Everything has come back normal and some things, better then normal! The only out of whack thing was my thyroid hormones, which actually is at a normal level for those women not trying to conceive, but since I am, they would like it to be lower at least while I am trying to have children. So in all reality my thyroid really isn't what's causing our infertility. So what is?.... NO CLUE! We got diagnosed with something 15% of couples deal with when trying to conceive...UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY. Believe me people, this is a blessing and in a sense it bothers me. What is causing us to not be able to conceive? What isn't it happening for us? It happened once, so why is it not happening again? So many questions...and no answers. But even though I have absolutely no answers to all these questions, I do have a a reassurance that the lord will provide us with children...in his time.

So our next step...in a month I will be on clomid again and doing another IUI. This will be my fourth time undergoing this procedure. They do it a little different at RCC and have a better success rate then most places. If this one is unsuccessful, we will try our fifth and last IUI . We are hopeful one of these will work and if not in-vitro will be our final option.

*Update on my thyroid problem*...I should have been taking this medication a LONG time ago. I have only been taking it for two weeks and maybe it's just in my head, but I already feel a lot better.

We Have a Birthday...

Today is a VERY special day in the Huston household because this little guy has a birthday! Charlie is two years old today. I cannot explain just how much we love this little guy. There are those out there that are "Dog Parents" and understand just how much you can love them. Charlie is our best friend. Not only has he stolen me and John's hearts, he has also stolen the hearts of our family. We love you Charlie and look forward to celebrating many more birthday's with you.

Charlie will celebrate his birthday with a trip to PetsMart to pick out some treats, a walk in the park, and a courtesy vanilla ice cream cone from Arctic Circle (his all time favorite)
