we have a winner!!

will:  when it comes to face shapes, i have no idea.  i can look and either say 'puffy' or 'skinny'... but i really don't know.

me (hesitantly): what's my face shape?

will: ...pretty : )

good enough : )  i'll take it!

infertility: get informed

i was made aware (shout out! : ) that this is national infertility awareness week.  while it's not usually comfortable for me to point this sort of thing out to others, i guess it's good for people to be aware.  i'd rather have people just be friendly, sensitive, and aware on their own, but i think that's expecting too much of people in general.  so i guess that's why the awareness week exists... : )  and why i'll pass it on...

here's a link to the national infertility association's website:

http://www.resolve.org/support-and-services/for-family--friends/

this particular page is specifically for family and friends... like it says...

i haven't read everything on there, so i can't say i absolutely agree with everything on there or would back it up, but i can tell that there's good information.  and there are things that i would agree with and ring true with me.  i'm pretty sure for will too, but i won't speak for him here... : )

there's obviously plenty of other information on the site if you click around.  read up!  get informed!  don't say things that will make me crazy!  i think you can find lots of answers to questions you might have.  i think there's something for almost everyone to learn.


and if you're really passionate, here's a link to the national infertility awareness week homepage:

march madness

march was a little crazy.  or a lot.  we've had a lot to do and a lot to think about.  at least it's died down a little lately.

so even though we'd like to crawl under the bed (or in) with a carton of ice cream, we know good things are on the horizon.  we don't know when.  we don't know how.  but we know they're coming.  for example, tomorrow really is saturday!  unlike today when i woke up to the alarm and thought it was saturday (!!!!).  it took a snooze button or two to convince myself that it really wasn't saturday yet and to explain that i hadn't lived through those friday things yet...

we're grateful for our tender mercies each day as well as our big blessings.  today will's coming home early and we'll eat the cookies i got us at the staff lunch today.  then we'll go to the byu men's volleyball game at UOP.  then we'll stay up too late sitting on the couch talking because it's friday night!  and because we're best friends and in love - big time : )

i think we consume more empty calories nowadays than we used to.... (like my poor kris p. pretzel bunny i finished off last night... ha : )  (which was sooooo gooood!!!)

when the junk food doesn't cut it, our faith in our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, the words of ancient and modern day prophets, personal revelation through the Holy Ghost, and every other blessing of the gospel of Jesus Christ always pull us through. : )
