I Did It!

I called our REs office and scheduled an appointment. 

Northern Starr was supposed to call and make the appointment because I was just too nervous to do it.  But I did.  Yesterday was my birthday.  And I bet you all know what I wished for when I blew out those candles.  I have to be more productive if we really want a baby.  And we REALLY want a baby!!!

The appointment is scheduled for next Monday.  It's a freakin week away!!!  And Dr B isn't going to be doing my exam because he's working this weekend to do any procedures (IVF, IUI, monitoring).  So I'll be getting "checked" by another doctor, a lady doctor.  The receptionist said that because it's been over a year since we were last there, we will have to do some test.  Just give me the provera and inject ables and lets get this party started!! :-)

Northern Starr

I was born and raised in Hawaii and Northern Starr was born in North Carolina but raised all over because he’s a “military brat” his dad was in the Air Force.  And his last duty station was in Hawaii.  But we didn’t meet then.

After September 11th, Northern Starr joined the Army.  After attending boot camp and all his MOS schooling, he was stationed in Korea for 2 years.  We met in a Hawaii chat room, he was in there because he just got word that his next duty station is Hawaii.  Will chatted and talked on the phone basically every day for the 2 months before he was finally stationed in Hawaii.  We met at the airport, and I took him to his base.  It’s been non-stop since then. 

So yes, we’ve known each other for well over 8 years now.  We were never non-stop dating since we first met.  We were both young (I was still a teenager when we first met) and we wanted to experience life, not be tied down.  But deep down inside, we both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.  We just needed to grow up.  He took longer than I did lol. 

Well now we live in Virginia.  It’s where his parents are.  I moved and left everything and everyone I knew to be with him.  And let me tell you… he is so unbelievably worth it!  I came across a quote on Pinterest the other day and it is exactly him.

“If he… makes you laugh.  Kisses your forehead.  Says he’s sorry.  Makes an effort.  Holds your hand.  Works hard.  Attempts to understand you. …then, believe it or not, he’s quite perfect.”

Yup, that’s my hubby!  God, I love this man!!!!
