This week has sure been an exercise in mental health. And not an exercise in the metaphoric I'm-not-sure-I'm-gonna-make-it sense but in the more literal strength building, hitting the bags, lifting those mental weights to make you actually stronger exercises. I've encountered a recurring theme this past week. All of the well-wishers that reach out and …

BONUS: IVF Etiquette

By now you are, probably, well aware of my ineptitude of playing the waiting game. I know I'm supposed to post every Sunday, which I still plan on doing, but in support of my sanity, I think I'll also try to do a few in between posts (bonus postings!!) because I have been asked A …

White Noise

Ok, guys. I am going to hit you with some real life today. Because, real life is hard all by itself. When you roll together all of the circumstances of YOUR real life and those situations and try to deal with them all at once, you may have hours, days or weeks like I am …

DC 2.2… and 3.0

So, first, apologies. It's been a chaotic few days that have literally felt like years. I'm sorry I didn't update immediately, I really felt like I needed a full reboot to recover from this trip but, alas, I was not afforded that opportunity. Anyway, let me debrief the rest of the DC trip.   2.2 …

DC Day 2.1

You read that right. 2.1. There will be a 2.2, too. It's been a long day and it's only halfway over, but I know TIm and everyone else wants an update about how orientation went.

DC Day One

Ok, forewarning, this post will be picture OVERLOAD! We have had such a good time galavanting around the Capitol. The 10+ miles we have walked today sure has made me feel better about the outrageous amount of calories I have taken on today. I haven't completely fallen off my IVF diet wagon, but I have …

#OperationMilliKid

Quick update 🙂 As I am waiting in the parking lot to get started shooting a wedding tonight, I thought it would be a good time to unload some thoughts with only FIFTEEN hours before i board my flight to DC!! Man, I really take for granted how much easier getting things done is with …

The end of the beginning

So, I am posting a little early this week for a couple of reasons. First, I had no idea so many loved ones read this. I have been overwhelmed (in a good way) with people checking in on me from my bad week. I am so loved, and I can't tell you how appreciative I …

Marathon of Inches

Hurry up and wait. It has been my IVF motto from day one. It's sort of ironic how the paths of IVF and deployment can coincide so closely sometimes. Hurry. Up. And.... wait. Hurry up! We need all of your paper work NOW! Quickly! Book your flights yesterday! But, we will make sure to make …
