I've been M-I-A

I've been missing-in-action from my blog and so lazy here lately about blogging.  I've got lots of posts started, I just haven't taken the time to finish them and add the pictures to go with each post.  Please bare with me, I'll be back soon!

Discouragement

I started my period Tuesday night.  Such discouragement.  It's so hard to be hopeful.  I go to the doctor in the morning for a baseline u/s before I start my next cycle of injections and pills.  They have to do a baseline each time you do the injections just to make sure that no cysts or pollups have formed so that the hormone injections don't cause the cyst or pollup to grow.  Provided everything is ok, I'll start the injections next week and then it will be "busy time" in the Glenn household.

Some wedding funnies

Shawn and I went to a wedding last night for a new co-worker of Shawn's.  The wedding was in Huntingburg at 6 CST at the Huntingburg Event Center.  Since he said it was at 6, I never looked at the time on the invite, only the address of where the wedding and reception would be so I could look up the directions on how to get there.  It was an hour away, so I figured we would leave at 5.  We always run late for everything anyways.  Well then yesterday morning Shawn says he thinks Huntingburg is an hour of ahead of us.  So I look it up and they are, which means we need to leave around 3:30 or 3:45 so that we will get there before the wedding actually starts at 6 EST with is 5 CST.  Shawn went to work and I took tiny puppy to the vet and then ran into my mom on my way home and went yard saling with her.  Time got away from us and I didn't get home until 2:30, so I was rushing around getting ready and taking care of the dogs before Shawn got home and before we could leave.  Shawn got home late so it wasn't until 3:50 before we left.  Like I said we always run late for everything.  We finally get up there with about 10 minutes to spare.  It's supposed to be an outside wedding and there was lots of chairs set up at the gazebo by the lake.  It was freezing outside last night.  As we are pulling in the parking lot, the place WAS packed and no one was sitting outside.  I told Shawn they probably moved it inside since it was so cold outside.  So we walk in and the reception is in full swing.  I thought cool, people are already mingling before the wedding.  Shawn signs us in at the guest book and then asks one of the attendants if they decided to move the wedding inside.  The lady then proceeds to tell my husband that we were probably at the wrong wedding reception.  LOL!!!  Apparently there were 3 receptions at this place.  LOL!!!  Some poor saps are probably wondering who Shawn and Stacey Glenn were.  LOL!!  We find the room we are supposed to be at.  There isn't hardly anyone there.  The groom comes over and starts talking to Shawn and that's when we find out the wedding was at 6 CST (our time) and not 6 EST (Huntingburg time).  So for the first time in our life, we WERE ACTUALLY EARLY to something!!!  You know what that means now, we got to sit outside longer in the freezing cold with the wind blowing off the lake waiting for the wedding to start.  Oh, how I wish we would of been running late!  LOL!! 

Overall, the wedding was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, and the reception was fun with with lots of yummy food and cake.  Congrats Chris and Marissa Eye!

We took a monkey to the zoo

Shawn and I went to the zoo Saturday afternoon.  Shawn loves going to the zoo, so our very first original plan was to spend our 5-year anniversary 3-day weekend in St. Louis and go to the zoo, the Arch, and Grant's Farm.  Then we got the tiny puppy and I didn't want to have to kennel the dogs or have someone else watch them overnight.  So we decided to go to Louisville and eat at this restaurant I like and then go to the Louisville Zoo.  Then it was supposed to rain all weekend and I didn't want to be out of town in all that rain.  So then we decided to just go to Mesker Park Zoo here at home.  Then I decided I wanted to take Gavin with us and Uncle Shawn finally gave in.  I love doing things with Gavin and spending as much time as possible with him.  So we wound up at the zoo here at home.  It was nice.  All of the animals were out except for the camel.  Apparently she had a baby back in April and is still having complications from that and is at an animal hospital for now.  I took lots of pictures.  Posted below are a few, the rest can be found on my facebook page.  If you need a link, just comment me below.

The main entrance has been moved to a different location of the zoo and is much nicer than the old entrace.  Here is a picture of the new entrance, along with a picture of the old entrance below it.

And of course a picture of me with my little Monkey and a few of him.  I think he was really too little to enjoy the zoo, but he did enjoy being a big boy and sitting up riding around in his stroller all day.  He laughed at a few of the animals, or it could of been his crazy Uncle Shawn.  And of course, we had a few melt-downs along the way - him and me both.  And I got pee'd on down my leg and into my shoe during a diaper change.  Thanks Gavin! 

The new Amazonian exhibit was really a nice addition to the Zoo.  And it was cool in there on a warm, sunny, and rainy day.  Here are a few animals from that exhibit.

And of course the Monkey Ship.  Too bad they still don't have monkey's in it.  My little Monkey would of loved playing with his little friends in there.  LOL!!

The giraffe's and zebra's are my absolute favorite at zoos, so naturally I took lots of pictures of them. 

And the pretty peacocks.  Although I never did see any spread their feathers for me, a few came a bit too close for comfort during Gavin's bottle feedings.  Uncle Shawn had to chase them away with the stroller.  Too bad I didn't get any pictures of that.

Happy Anniversary to Us:)

Today Shawn and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary.  I am so thankful for my husband and everything he means to me.  I couldn't imagine my life today with out him.  I love you pumpkin! 

We spent the entire morning and afternoon being completely lazy and doing nothing.  Then later in the afternoon we went to Boonvegas to the China Star for lunch.  I know, I know.  Of all places to go for an anniversary lunch/dinner, why there?  That place is yummy and they have the best crab rangoons.  After lunch, we headed back home to pick up the puppies and we went to get Shawn's hair cut, to visit our friends Mandy and Greg and their boys and their new "tiny puppies" and then to Petsmart to get Hershey's nails trimmed and to get Reese a new toy and some cat and dog food and cat litter.  After all that, we were completely exhuasted (probably from eating too much food at the China Star) and headed home.  Now I'm doing laundry and just relaxing before tomorrow.  Tomorrow we are going to the Evansville Zoo and taking Gavin with us.  Then tomorrow night we are going to Sandy's Pizza in Ft. Branch and Shawn's brother is going with us since his wife is out of town.  Tomorrow will be a long day as well, so I'll be looking forward to some much more needed rest Sunday afternoon between morning and evening church.
