James and I on our way toVegas

Where does the time go?


I cannot believe that it is almost July. Time sure does fly. I hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool from this heat.  Here in Wyoming and Colorado it has been one HOT June which is very unusual, and, unfortunately, has caused numerous fires throughout Colorado and Wyoming.   Everyone should say an extra prayer tonight for all the people who have lost their homes and for the fire fighters who are working hard to contain these massive fires.

As for me, I started a new job at the end of May. I am working as an assistant for an Oral Surgeon. It is a very fast paced job with a lot to learn, which I love. So far, it is a great place to work and all the people are really nice. I am very lucky to have found a great job that I am interested in and that has great pay.

James and I have decided on the date of our IVF Benefit and Silent Auction:  August 18, 2012. We are having a sit down dinner with salad, potato, vegetable and your choice of steak or chicken, as well as dessert.  We have booked the venue which is The Powder River Veterans Club here in Casper on 1st Street. There will also be a live jazz band for the silent auction and dinner.  A DJ will play music after dinner for some dancing. There will, of course, be a cash bar. We are excited about it and are very blessed that we already have so many people willing to donate items for our silent auction. If anyone wants to donate anything for the silent auction just let us know as we are compiling stuff now so we can make sure we have a variety of things to offer. We are also going to do a 50/50 raffle at our Dinner Benefit.

As for my idea of making and selling t-shirts the design should be done this weekend and I will post a photo and start taking orders.  A good friend of mine, Justin Junkins, is helping me put my ideas into a digital image as well as making it better than my original drawing. So here is a big thank you to Justin for offering to do this for us. He is also helping me make the tickets and invitations/flyers for our benefit. Soon I will have those and will make a facebook event as well as send out paper invitations to all the people I know that do not have or check facebook often. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have such wonderful people in our lives that support our journey of starting a family.

I have added the Paypal Donation button to my blog so if anyone feels like donating to us in our quest to start a family, we would feel so blessed.  The button is in the upper left underneath our pictures.  Any remaining funds donated after our attempts will be donated to Pay it Forward.  The mission of the Pay it Forward Fertility Foundation is to help reduce the cost of infertility treatment by providing grants and to educate couples about infertility. 

If anyone is wondering what else James and I are doing to try and come up with the money, besides having benefits and having wonderful people donate to us, I will tell you. We currently are trying to sell our 4 wheeler, truck and 5th wheel. We figured we should sell the "big boy toys" to make money so we can have a baby and buy baby toys. So on that note, if anyone knows of anyone who is looking for a 4 wheeler, truck or 5th wheel let us know I have listed the descriptions below as well as posted a picture of each. Oh, and we are also selling some music equipment so if anyone is interested in what that might be please message me.
