6 Days 'til V-day

I have fallen in love with "the Band Perry" and this is one of my favorite song of theirs


I was meant to be by your side And I have waited here a long time
For you to turn around and notice me
But now you're here holding hands with me

Walk me down the middle of the county fair Walk me down the middle like you don't care
Walk me by the ferris wheel And make sure she sees
Let the whole world know you belong to me

I heard about your bitter end About how she stole your heart and put it back again
Well I may not be the prettiest girl around But I sure am a sight for sore, sore eyes

Walk me down the middle of Main Street Walk me down where the whole town will be
I don't need no parade But make sure that she sees
Let the whole word know you belong to me

I'd walk through fire for you Walk through barbed wire for you I'd walk for miles, it's true Just to be with you

If you walk me down the middle of my momma's church
Walk me down that aisle in your finest shirt

Let the whole world know you will Walk me down the middle of the county fair Walk me down the middle like you don't care Walk me by the ferris wheel And make sure they see
Let the whole world know you belong to me
You belong to me

The Month of L.O.V.E


I love February! Its probably one of my favorite months...for many reasons....here is my list


1. My Daddy was born on the 12th

2. My sweet angel sister was Born on the 5th

3. The 14th is Valentines day

4. its the shortest month

5. every 4 years this magical thing happens and you get to add a day to it :)

6. I have always wanted to have a kid on February 29th! :)


so I'm not big on Valentines day cause honestly Lance does a good job through out the year spoiling me but its nice to see that everyone is thinking of doing something nice for their somebody special.


So the count down begins Valentines day is in 7 days!


I'm gonna share my past Valentines with who ever is reading this...Lance always finds the perfect cards:


02.14.09

the card read:


For My Wonderful Wife

" You are the best part of the best years of my life.

If someone were to ask me what a perfect day would be, I wouldn't think of places that have lovely sights to see. I wouldn't wish for sunny skies or special thinks to do. For i'd just want to have a day that I could spend with you...

And if someone were to ask me what would make a perfect life, I'd simply say " I have that," for I have you for my wife

Happy Valentine's day

with all my love


He went on to say how he found the perfect card and so forth :) I loved it ya just gotta love Hallmark :) so share a little love with those you care about this February :)

2011-Life Happens


The Beautiful Copa Sunset! Gotta Love Arizona! :) With it being 2011 this year has lots in store for the McGee family :) and as I was looking back at the Past 4 years of our life together a huge smile comes to my face its crazy how much has happen with in those 4 years!
We have lived in 4 different cities
1. Holbrook 2. Tucson 3. Mesa and 4. Maricopa
The places we lived in have been the basement of Lance parents house, 2 Appartments and 1 House.
we have been employed by Hopi Art, Gap, Geico direct, UPS, Wells Fargo, Lifestyle Balance, Geico GFR, and Grand Canyon University ( so I've had several jobs since lance has had only 3 out of the 8 lol)
We have been enrolled in 4 different Colleges
Pima community( YUCK) UofA, Westwood, and Grand Canyon University
Tragedy hit and we almost lost our awesome Brother in Law but have seen countless Miracles!
got pregnant and then had our hearts broken:(
Bought our first car together , had our car stolen and then recovered, sold our first car, bought our first truck.
been in 4 car accidents,(just me) been on 3 Cruises and our 4th is booked(yay!!) got a puppy who is like our Child.
Got 3 new neices :)
had one family member pass away. (love you Aunt Carol )
I would say alot has happen in those years! Its crazy to think about all that stuff but not a day goes by that I don't Thank my lucky stars and My Heavenly Father that I was able to go through all of this hand in hand with my Sweetheart right next to me:) Its been a Great Journey and I look forward to all the years to come!

These 2 Beautiful figures from WillowTree are 2 of my favorites and Lance picked them out for me for Christmas the left is called "Together"-for those who have found their true partner in love and life. the one on the right my favorite "Promise" -Hold dear the promise of Love. this one I opened first and just cried. it melted my heart and was the perfect gift this season.

the two in the middle are dear to me. so very very dear to me.
after I went to the dr. and was told I had a complete miscarriage and lost our baby I for some dumb reason thought I was fine to go back to work but I wasn't and I drove to the one person I needed a hug from. My Mom. for some reason her embrace is just magic. It was Dec 9th 2 days before my birthday and Mom had my gifts already wrapped. She said that today I could open my gifts and she gave me the
Angel of Harmony-In harmony with life's rhythm
who is playing the flute and Surrounded by Love -Abundant love surrounds you and we both cried because she didn't know what would happen that day but her sweet spirit picked the two I needed the most:) we both ended up crying and she said she was sorry for making me cry it was suppose to make me feel better. and they did. I love Willow Tree's I forgot how much I loved them and am so glad and so grateful for Susan Lordi and her amazing beautiful talent.

I don't understand...

I don't understand when people say things like this:

J:my little is so cute when she sleeps we call her our little burrito!
C: yeah they are cute when they are little wait till they get bigger and they start elbowing you in the face and rolling and hitting you and you can't sleep because of it. Right now its hell.


Ok lets look at this cute parent telling how cute she is and then BAM a parent who says soemthign so *makes me want to bunch them in their olvaries*
really really its Hell? WOW isn't someone a little dramatic! 1. your kid is sleeping in your bed when they are 11 months old news Flash if you don't like change it! they make these crazy little beds with bars to make sure little kids and babies don't roll out what the name of it.... oh yeah a CRIB! your "hell" is your own fault. and 2. really really your 11 month old is hell because she moves around while she sleeps. Its thats Hell then what is this thing called that I am going through!

I was watching Parenthood *love* last night and A woman was complaining and said becasue its been 3 months and her husband and her are still not pregnant. Really try 3 years and then get back to me. I know its just a TV show but between those two things happening with in 24 hours of each other I just wanted to SCREAM!

GRRRRR. Ok sorry but I had to get that off my chest I know I don't know how it is to be a parent and have sleepless night and I'm trying to say its not hard and it will be a piece of cake but what I don't understand is that Parenthood is Tough! of course you have to teach these precious kids how to be a good person and how to learn things that they will keep with them forever. But it doesn't last forever....those little hand prints on the mirror leave and move out sooner than you will ever think.

There are tons of people out there who would die to have those little elbows hit them in the face while they sleep, make a huge mess and the list goes on.... so not to affend anyone but holy smokes once I have my kid I'm gonna be a feakin awesome MOM! lol not cause I'm never going to have hard times with them but because I know how life feels with out them and I'd take that worst day I have with my kid(s) then a day I had waiting for them.

I'm just get a little well maybe a lot jealous some days. I feel like hitting them in the forehead and saying you could have used a V8 I just can't wait for my day to come and I'm holding my child in my arms. I'm crossing my fingers and praying 2011 is our year. I don't mean to sound so bitter I just don't understand sometimes.

January 3, 2011

2011

I can't Believe its 2011!! I keep telling Lance we really need to have a kid on 11-11-11 :) how cool would that be! cross our fingers :)

The Day I Prayed and Hoped for Came..........

November 18th at 4:15am I got 2 lines and words can't even begin to express the feeling of Joy and Happiness that over whelmed me with and I was in such disbelief that Today was the day my Dreams came true! Finally Me and Lance were going to be Mommy and Daddy to a sweet little miracle of a child. I'm not good with words or explaining storys but here goes anyways I was so excited that when I peed on a stick it was positive! so after 4 of them there was no doubt! The lines came instantly with no question as dark as they could! I was seriously in heaven. after calling in for work and going to the OB (not because of issues with pcos but because I was going to have a baby!!!) they told me I was 5 weeks and 1 day along! I was in shock! I couldn't believe it! I was so overcome with joy and happiness that I would burst into tears of Joys :) I blame it on the emotions of pregnancy. :) after telling family and their excitement and having the Best thanksgiving EVER! and finding out that one of my Best Friends was pregnant too I thought wow this is sooooooo PERFECT! almost to Perfect that I thought wow after all these years The Lord is truely blessing me ten folds! That joy of that postitive preggers test I pray my dear friends who haven't had that that they will. and soon!.




Then November 29th came. and I ended up in the ER :( had spotting and cramps. really bad cramps and I cried. I cried my Heart out. that is seriously what it felt like. I kept repeating over and over agian Baby stay with Mommy..please stay with me.. after 4 hours in the ER and no answers except that I had a UTI and that the ultrasound came back showing I wasn't as far along as They thought. They didn't think I had miscarried so I went home and just cried my eyes out and Lance held me. My gut was telling me that I needed to prepare myself for the worst. I followed up with my OB and she ordered Blood work for me and told me well either you are not as far along as we thought or you have a blighted olvum.( the fertilized egg decides to stop growing) and you miscarried. that was Dec 1. I had my blood work and then Thursday Dec 9th Dr appoint to see results for blood work and another ultrasound and I knew the moment I saw the ultrasound on the tv that my hopes and my dreams were going to be put on hold I had googled many ultrasound pictures to know what a uterus lookes like with a baby in it...and there was no baby in mine anymore. When the Dr came in her confirmed it Our little miracle decided to go back to heaven. I didn't want to post this but I didn't want to pretend it never happened. I was pregnant and it was the Greatest! But now I'm not and that is the hardest :(

Last week I was sooo mad and sooo HURT why why would the Lord bless me with such a wonderful miracle after 2 years 9 months and 18 days of TTC just to take it away! Why was he being so mean! Did he not love me. and after an EXTREMLY tough week of me crying my eyes out to the point where i thought i could refill tempe town lake I was so angry with Heavenly Father for this hurt! I never know I could hurt so bad and seriously be so said it was a chore to smile I felt numb at some points. as I was crying one day I was talking in my head just talking with the Lord asking him why he was being so mean and I couldn't understand how he could be such a loving God and then be sooo mean! I thought you must not know me or know my heart because you would have known how I prayed and wished and hoped for a little one. so you probally don't love me as much as i thought. and in that moment of doubt a scripture came to mind " Jesus wept" and a soft whisper stated He cries with you. He hurts with you. He knows your pain. and He cries with you. In that moment I knew Christ Lives. Heavenly Father Loves me. The gospel is true. That is when I knew that when I got the results from the Doc it wouldn't be good news. of course in the back of my mind I still wished and prayed for a miracle again. but it didn't come and thats sucks but it will be ok.. Life is still good. Heavenly Father loves me. more than I can ever imagine.

as hard as this has all been I feel that maybe all of this will help me be that much better of a Mother, a Wife and a Woman. I decided before this time on earth that I was on the Lords side and that we would have agency. I am just one person just a somebody but I am A Daughter of God first and formost and I am Grateful to have had the Chance to have that Ultimate Joy and Happiness even if it was but for a small moment. Christ Lives he knows our hearts he knows us and Loves us more than we can even imagine! I didn't want to have to post this but I felt that for me and for healing I needed to write my story and my feelings. I am so grateful to have Such a wonderful Husband who Loves me so much and is sooo supportive and so aware of my feelings. I don't write this because I want everyone to feel bad for me or anything like that but this weas seriously the hardest thing I have expirenced and I know that many people have had worse and my heart goes out to them and I don't mean to think their pain is not as bad as mine. But this is my story this is my expirence and this is how I felt. I needed to write this to help me heal. Miracles Happen. at the very least at least we know we can get pregnant.

So if you are reading this and you have kids, Kiss and Hug and Rock those little ones just a little bit longer for us Mothers who are waiting to Kiss and Hug and Rock our own.

Gratitude

Its the Month of November and It has had me thinking of all my MANY MANY Blessings and how Grateful I am to Have them. I felt like I have complained far to much on this blog and I wanted to make sure I wasn't losing site of what its all about.

In high schoool I had a Great teacher, friend and Mentor also known as Mr 'H' always tell me " Its all about Love" I'm 90 % sure he is one of the people in my life that taught me SOOO much about LIFE and how to live it besides my family members.

I am very grateful to have had the chance to know him.
I am grateful for the Heritage Academy and for the many blessings and amazing friends it has given me.

for my parents who gave me my life and my childhood and the sweet moments of Ice skating in central park on Christmas :) That trip by far was the greatest Trip I have ever had! thank you for showing me how Love never Dies and how LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS :) for believing in me and for supporting me and loving me no matter what. Thankyou mom and dad for coming to my rescue so many times!! and for putting up with my super dramatic hyper personality :) You guys are the greatest parents any daughter could ask for. :)

For my Parents in-law who feel like my very own parents :) for raising such a wonderful son who honors his priesthood, opens the door for his wife and always tells me he loves me. I know he learned his amazing traits from you both and I can't express just how much my heart respects and appreciates you both for being his parents and for all the love and support you have for us. Thank you for loving eachother and being affecionate to one another so that your son would learn from your example.

For my siblings who are my Best Friends! and have helped me be the person I am today! All of you were so willing to let me tag along no matter what and that meant the world to me :) for donuting peoples houses, chicken feeting them, sneeking out of the house to watch "a walk to remember", for "saint" tifying peoples yards ;), for letting my see her ring first! :), for late night talks, for the laughs, for the tears, for sneezing on ones bare legs .. :) I love you all so much!

For My dear Friends who were my sisters in the precistence you know who you are. I feel so grateful to have had the honor of knowing you here on earth. Thank you for understanding me and for loving me.

last but NOT LEAST My sweet Husband who has made my life what it is today :) for taking me to the temple :) for loving me even when I am crazy with baby fever or hormones out of wack. for opening my door kissing me goodbye in the morning and kissing me goodnight :) for never yelling at me. For being my better half. for making me laugh sooo hard my face and tummy hurt! for being my Best Friend in who I would drop everything to hang out with :) For understanding that Heavenly Father knows what he is doing and always letting me see the bigger picture.

with the whole feritily issues it has brought me and lance so much closer and has made me so grateful for the time we had and will have together:) and I am honesly ok with that. Heavenly Father has blessed me with so much that some times I wonder why of all the things he has given us I constantly focus on the one thing he hasn't. Miracles happen and we will get our miracle when we are ready to recieve it. and that will be a perfec day. but for now I will cherish every moment i have! especially with Lance :)

Happy Thanksgiving:)

Metformin

Well I had my Dr's checkup appointment today with my blood test results and the great "yearly checkup" My Test results were great! Dr. E or more like PA. E was very impressed :) my gluclose blood levels were totally normal!!! yay! So she asked ME what would you like to do? and I said well what are my options :) so 20 minutes later I had a prescription for 3 months of Metformin :) so with fingers crossed and Lots of Faith she dissmissed me and said I will see you in 3 months but I sure hope I see you sooner cause that would mean you had a postive pregnancy test! lol another reason I love Dr. E her amazing optimism that doesn't come across of getting my hopes up.

So we shall see if I am one who does well with Metformin. with fingers crossed and lots of prayers we shall see :)

ROY is home! Its so great to see him home where he belongs!
I am in my last week of BIOLOGY!! yay!!! on to intro to philosophy and ethics and general phycology! so excited for the next 7 weeks! woot woot!

busy busy busy but I wouldn't change a thing.

it will be a while before I post again I am sure since I am doubling up on classes and will have no time for blogging! lol

PCOS....

This last week has been a rough one. I don't like to talk much about my PCOS and my Infertility problems and honestly I don't really know why cause I'm not a very private person as most of you know and I enjoy reading other blogs about women who are in the same boat makes me feel like I'm not on a deserted Island of infertity by myself. I would never wish Infertility on anyone. Its probably the hardest trial I have had to face in my life so far but it has also been a complete blessing as well. (believe its taken me a while to come to grip that its a blessing)
I understand that for Me and Lance Sex does not get us Pregnant! ( lol just a little infertility joke) We joke around about how there is something else that those who have kids don't tell the rest of us. I have to sometimes take a step back and look at the full picture and try to see the silver lining while sometimes its harder on some days. I know that there is a reason. January marks the 3 year mark of "trying to make babies"

Now although I so badly wish I was pregnant and a mommy by now I have enjoyed every moment I have had with my Dear Husband Lance :) I would not trade these years we have had together for anything :) I can say that. I can say to myself to enjoy the time I have with my Husband....for those who can have babies don't tell your friends who can't to "enjoy the time they have with out kids" cause once you have kids its never the same. To put it nicely it makes me ( and I'm sure many others who are having trouble getting pregnant) want to slap you in the Face.... and I mean that in the nicest way. Its are hard thing to try to say the right words to comfort your friends that are having problems just be honest and tell them "that sucks and you have no idea what we are going through but to stay positive" :)
don't try to pawn you kids off to us ya know that phrase "You Can Have One Of Mine" Really...REALLY! You may think its funny and I may laugh or smile to make YOU feel good but to put it nicely...It makes me want to punch you in your Ovaries. seriously I mean that in the nicest way. Telling us you would be fine with giving your precious child to us cause you have so many is like slapping us in the face and laughing at us cause we can't have kids. If you don't know what its like to go through the Fertility problems (I don't mean that it took you under a year to get preggers cause News flash thats Normal. ) I mean you seriously don't have some issue's going on.....don't try to imagine what it would be like cause you can't (and I don't want you to try its not fun) just like i can't imagine what it would be like to just"look" at my husband and get pregnant.

However this in no way means that just casue you are pregnant you should feel bad about it around your infertity friends. Lets be honest Women We should be Happy for our friends who get to expirence the miracle of life and no matter what their situation is We as infertile women should not think that they don't deserve to be pregnant. that is not our place. I am always so happy to hear of my friends getting pregnant whether it be a triumph miracle do to Docs saying the chance were low or to the sweethearts who are blessed with Super Fertile eggs :) Its a beautiful time for that couple and EXCITING NEWS!

Yes sometimes its hard to know that your not preggers and others around you are but I wouldn't trade my life with them. I am so happy where I am and SOOOOOO blessed by my Heavenly Father for the blessings in my life and for a wonderful Husband and job and home and this list could go on and on and on and on. I feel blessed to have an understanding of infertility so that I can possible help my friends who are as well in our journey to become Mommys.

So for all those Mommys out their Hold your little ones a little longer each night for the Mommy's to be like me who don't have their little ones yet and for those who might never have their little ones. Love them just a little bit more and try to enjoy those "crazy days". Becasue as strange as it is us Mommys to be would do anything humanly possible to have those "crazy days".

ok my rant is over I feel better now :) sorry for this long post but it is my Blog so I guess its ok :) lol Congrats to all those new Mommy's and to all the soon to be mommy's :) I am truely so happy for you all.

Lance's sisters husband ended up in the hospital and what was suppose to be a normal sholder surgery to flush out an infection ended up putting him in the ICU in Gilbert Mercy and on a ventilator! he ended up having 2 strokes while in the ICU and Gilbert Mercy and it was scary there for a while!! many prayers and fasting was done in his behalf and he got transfered to St Joe's ICU.

June- He who is Roy is not out of the ICU and the ventilator machine was outof his room last week and he said 3 words , hi, yes and mom....and the other day he was finally able to see his 8th month old daughter Marlee after a few weeks and told Alli my sister in law that " today is the best day ever" he is talking more which is a miracle! but they have a long road ahead of them if your interested in helping and in the town of Maricopa click here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=668959648#!/event.php?eid=128166593882582&ref=ts Brooklyn Boys has agreed to donate 15% of your tab to Roy Brandon print the flyer and take it in! :) if you can't make it but want to help go into any Wells Fargo and let them know you would like to make a donation to the Roy Brandon Benefit account.

Will you ever let me be an alien with you...

I know what you're feeling Is hard to believe in That home must be millions and millions of light-years away So let the stars align And let the water make wine 'causeBroken souls will become whole tonight, tonight We know it's right so Lift your eyes and let me in'Cause baby I'm an alien like youWill you ever wake at night and realize theReason why you knew me thenIs maybe I'm an alien tooWill you ever let me be an alien with you
Aren't you tired of running From what you're becoming The truth is it's useless there's nowhere to go, it's not going to find you, So let the heavens flare And let's not be scared, 'causeWe know love's a world above this one It's like the sun so Lift your eyes and let me in'Cause baby I'm an alien like youWill you ever wake at night and realize theReason why you knew me thenIs maybe I'm an alien tooWill you ever let me be an alien with you Well the days of solitude are goneBecause we've both spent a way too longHearing voices on the radio And we can't let anybody know Lift your eyes and let me in'Cause baby I'm an alien like youWill you ever wake at night and realize theReason why you knew me thenIs maybe I'm an alien tooWill you ever let me be an alienWith you
