In Jan 2010 i will start going back to see Dr Parker. I have another round of doing the femera on our own. we will see what happens then :)

I need to also add that i have gotten strength, friendships, stronger and closer relationship with God and a much better one w/ Travis. Yes, I have also had grief, heartaches, tears, anger, craziness and much much sadness. But i need to look back on what has happend and realise, this is ALL making me a much much better person. I will become a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and person all because of this experience. We arent done yet, and i know that God has a good and perfect will for our life!!! :)
