Man, its been crazy...

I can not believe that I have not blogged in such a long time. Life has been crazy and I just havent managed to have the time. So today I am going to catch everyone up on what has been going on in my life.

Simon unfortunately put LOTS of money into his broken truck... nobody seemed to figure out what was wrong with it. So... We have a NEW (well its used, but new to us) truck. It is so nice that Simon can have a good truck. He seems so happy. Its 2006 Dodge Ram 4 door truck, in blue. I am excited.

I went with my sister-in-law (Olivia, 17) to a concert where the guitarist has caught her eye. He is a very nice guy and he really likes her too. I am very proud of the person she has become and she has become one of my best friends. After the concert we laid in her bed and talked and laughed... I felt as though I was in high school again. Every night now we talk about our day and encourage each other to be the best we can be. I am glad she realized that their are many other guys out there, outside of high school, that she would move on from her ex-boyfriend and date other guys. Kyle is so nice and I am glad she is happy about dating him. Hes cute too! I give 2 thumbs up to Liv!!! =)

I have been SUPER busy at work. We are having our "show week" next week and trying to get the kids to remember their routines gets crazy. These past 18 weeks come down to next weeks shows to prove the parents that their kids are awesome and we are good at what we do. It gets stressful.

Due to the importance of "show week" I was unable to make it to Simon's family Summer Beach vacation. I was HIGHLY annoyed that work would not let me off, sad and disapponited that not only have I NEVER missed a family beach vacation since Simon and I have been engaged, but they went back to the FABULOUS St. George Island beach house. One of the funnest parts of the Locke vacations are the FUN family challenge games. They are a blast and I look forward to them all year. I guess I will be waiting another year.

Since I was unable to go to the beach with the Locke Clan I have, as I previously blogged, been planning my family Hnath beach vacation. I too am making a family challenge game. Although they are NEVER as much fun since my family think things are "not fair", and they don't listen and expect for me to make it easy. Sometimes I feel like giving up but afterward they say the games are fun. So right now, I am planning some games and hopefully, fingers crossed, they will be enjoyed.

Mothers Day came and went, I created my mom, and both my grandmas cute cards fromm shutterfly.com, thanks to my sister in law telling about their free cards. They loved the cards and I felt great. I boohoo-ed like a baby during the church service when they sang "Did you ever know that your my hero" and played a very sentimental mothers day video. My grandma kept saying "its ok, maybe you can celebrate mothers day next year." Although I know she was only trying to make me feel better, I felt horrible and got even more emotional. Dinners with my family on Mothers Day and Fathers day really stink for Simon and I as we are the only ones not getting gifts and not talking about our "kids" and they ALWAYS tell us "maybe next year." As we try we get more and more discouraged, especially as this is the 2nd mothers day we have been trying. Its an emotional subject.

Talking about babies, Simon finally gets our health insurance sometime during June and I will then FINALLY be able to go to the doctors and find out what the heck is wrong with my body. the more I research the more I fear that I have what is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome... all the systems I read point straight to me. I will continue to pray and try our best, and hopefully we will figure this all out in upcoming months.

My best friend Stacy is engaged!!! YAY!!! I am so excited for her and Paul. They have dated since High School and I am happy for them. I am going to meet her today to try on bridesmaids dresses, her color is a purple. Its going to be so nice, the date is either going to be Sept. 18 or Sept. 25. That is right around the corner... I have to start planning showers and bachelorette parties... I have a lot to keep my brain occupied.

Well, that is about all that has been going on since I last blogged.

I will try and keep you more informed more often!!! =)
