Happy Halloween!!
Well, my Halloween party never happened. We got hit with a major nor'eastern. Pretty much out of nowhere. When I planned the party I never thought I would be fighting with a snow storm. And I honestly didn't think that we would get as much snow as we did. I thought maybe a dusting or a little accumulation, but nothing like we actually got.
I had work all day on Saturday and while at work mad the decision to cancel the party. Too many of the guests were coming from far away and the weather was already pretty bad by noon. It killed me to have to cancel, especially since I had cooked all the food that morning and everything was all set up in the house. But, I had to think of everyones safety.
I'm planning a re-do for this weekend and hoping the weather cooperates this time!!

Praying
Well...another week has gone by.
I am now taking 3 hormone pills, 3 times a day. Joy Joy. Nothing new to report until I go back to the doctor...which isn't until my cycle starts again so we can start the blood work and ultrasound process again.
Cam and I are both up for new jobs. I think we will both be finding out around the same time if we got them or not (First week of Nov). I went for my interview last Thursday and Cam had his on Wednesday. He said his went very well. Mine went pretty good, as well. I was so nervous. This was my first "real" interview. I got a tour of the hospital and where I would be working. Then, I got to sit and watch the receptionist and see what exactly is done day to day.
It is very fast-paced, but I definitely think I can handle it. I am just dying waiting to find out. I'm hoping to get a second interview and ultimately get the job.
My Mom and I went to a baby shower yesterday. It is just so hard to go to something like that. Some people don't understand, but it absolutely kills me. Not only was the girl the shower was for pregnant, but 2 other family members were pregnant there (One I found out about that day). It just sucks because you want to be happy for them, but you just can't be.
Early Friday morning, I stubbed my toe so hard that I thought I broke it. I'm pretty sure now that it isn't broken, but it's very sore and bruised and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose the nail. What a pain for such a small toe. I'm such a clumsy mess haha.
I am very excited for this weekend!! Cam and I are throwing our first Halloween Party at the house. I am dressing as Lady Gaga and Cam is being Pauly D!! Our costumes are great and I can't wait to have a good time with some friends and family. My one friend who I grew up with and don't see often anymore is coming!! I can't wait!! I will post photos after the party! Here's a treat of Mack's costume!! (Hugh Hefner haha too cute!)

So I haven't blogged in awhile again...
Nothing good to report. I've been officially diagnosed with PCOS. I'm not responding to the hormones I've been taken. I'm now on 2 different types of hormones (And they make me nauseous as hell) and hoping something works. If not, next step is injectable hormones. (I am terrified of needles) Our insurance decided that one we try IUI, if it doesn't work, they won't pay for any other testing to try it again. In other words, we will have to pay every time I go to the doctor for blood work, etc. That will not be cheap.
Cam and I have both applied for new, better jobs! Crossing our fingers that one or both of us gets them!!
I am very excited for our Halloween Party coming up! I'm going to be Lady Gaga and Cam is Pauly D! Hahaha, I think it's going to be really fun! I just found out that one of my childhood friends is coming and I literally cried when I found out! I got Mack a Hugh Hefner costume...it's so cute haha!
I will post some photos when I get the costumes and once the house is decorated!!

Slacker
Well as you can tell I have been slacking with my blog posts. Not only have I been slacking with my posts, but with my exercising...
Since we got back from Disney I have not worked out (running or anything else besides everyday life). Thankfully, I have not gained any weight, but I think how much I'd be losing if I wasn't being so lazy. Unfortunately, that doesn't always motivate me haha.
Work has been pretty dead and some days I leave by 1:30-2:00...I thought I was about to get my dream job (A personal assistant job that I would be making as much as I did nannying). But, I have not heard back from him since the weekend, so I'm thinking it's not going to happen. Which really sucks because we would both be making good money. Cam put in for a different job, as well. Same company, but a little closer to home, better hours, and a little higher up on the totem pole...fingers crossed for that!
I thought this was going to be our baby month...and then the dreaded bathroom day when I found out it definitely wasn't this month. It's just so frustrating. I cry. I scream. I lash out when I don't mean to. But, I can't help it...I have so many emotions over all of this (plus I take hormone pills so that doesn't help haha) and sometimes I can't control what I think and worse what I say (mostly to Cam because he's always around...)
I feel so bad, but before I can stop myself and think, I just explode. Next month (October) we are trying the first round of IUI (Iintrauterine Insemination). We are really hoping this will work for us. While it's NOT $10,000 like IVF, we will still have to spend a little money to do it and if takes a few times the cost will add up. Only God knows what will happen and I know that when the time is right it will finally happen, but waiting sucks. I've never been good at it.
As some of you might have noticed I have drastically deleted people from my facebook account. I just had my fill of the drama and certain people's constant complaining and bullsh** and gone they went haha. So, if you are still about to see my profile, then you are the lucky ones I kept in my life loop!!
We just got Mack the invisible fence when we got back and he was doing very well with the beeps and staying away from the flags. Yesterday, the electric was turned on and to see him get shocked made me physically sick. I got heartburn. It was hard to watch him get hurt. The shock is on a very low setting since he's so small and I think it's scaring him more than anything, but it's still awful to watch! Now, we can run past the flags and he just stops! Haha, he's a very smart pup! :)
I went to one of my best friend's engagement party last week. It was so nice (besides the heavy rain) and I don't get to see her that often, so we all had a great time! Another congrats to Kasey and Chris!!
The next day Cam and I met his mom, step-dad, and his sister Carrie at Nanny Johnson's house for her birthday celebration! CAM cooked. He spent all night the day before cooking up a storm. He made Fettuccine, Spaghetti sauce from scratch, Meatballs from scratch, Fried calamari, and Tiramisu from scratch (except the lady fingers were bought). It turned out AMAZING! Any good Italian cook would be proud. Really, really good job he did!
Cam rarely cooks so I am always surprised, but I shouldn't be because Cam is good at anything he tries! I can't wait for his next creation!!
I guess that's about all that's been going on since we got back from vacation...hopefully I will have some good news to update about soon!!

Disney Vacation
We had an amazing time in on vacation!! Disney was amazing, as always!
The weather channel said it was going to thunderstorm all week. It did rain almost every day, but for only about 20 or 30 minutes so it wasn't so bad.
We got up at 2am...our ride was at our house by 3am and we were on our way to the Philadelphia airport. The security lines weren't even open yet when we got there so we had to wait. When we finally got inside we couldn't believe how many kids were on the flight...why aren't these kids in school?! Parents just don't parent their kids anymore.
Finally got to Orlando airport and then we were on our way to the resort. The Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is where we bought our timeshare, so we decided to stay there our first time using the Disney Vacation Club.
We had some troubles when we landed back in PA. There was a lightening storm and so the runway was closed. Luckily we had already landed and were just waiting inside for our luggage. This guy and his wife felt the need to complain nonstop and rant and rave about how awful the airport was. Blah, blah, blah. I wish I could have kicked his ass. What good did that do?! Just anger me and Cam.
All in all we had a fabulous vacation! I didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!!

Picture perfect, if you ask me. And we were told by a couple that were actually from Saratoga Springs, NY that Disney had every detail exact, right down to the ball at the top of the lamp posts. Pretty cool! We stayed in a 1-bedroom villa with a full kitchen. We went grocery shopping there and made breakfast every morning in the room which saved us a ton of money!
This trip we made sure we did more relaxing than running around. We always stress about getting everything done in the parks and then are exhausted by the end of the night. We definitely did a lot more relaxing, it was really nice! We did everything we wanted to do and more!
We did the "Keys to the Kingdom" behind the scenes tour of Magic Kingdom. It was really neat to see the behind the scenes stuff and get some insider information. I wish we could have taken photos, but it was not allowed. It was also really cool to see the new construction of Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. I can't wait to go back and see it when it's all finished.
The food was amazing, as always, and I think I gained 5 extra pounds that week ha ha. We especially love eating in the World Showcase. Sushi in Japan, Brats in Germany, Creme Brulee in France, and couscous in Morocco!! Yummy yum yum! We had some amazing margaritas in Mexico too. They were so strong, but so good!

Almost Vacation Time
Well...I won't be updating on here for at least another week.
I have a full work day (I've spent the past week making extra everything for when I'm gone). I've made 32 extra cakes and will be working on the cupcakes and cookies today. On top of that I've been going in to work an hour early and learning to open the store for when I come back. I'll be manager on Saturdays and my boss will actually get a day off! Definitely a win win!! Today, I'm opening the store completely myself and Steve (my boss) won't even be in until 11:30!
I dropped the animals off at the 'rents yesterday and Cam came with me. We stopped at Clinton Station Diner for a yummy dinner on the way home! Today is going to be a very busy day...before work I have to make all my phone calls and confirm everything for the trip and stop my mail with the post office. After work...go to Giant to turn my HUGE bag of change into cash and buy some magazines for the plane, finish packing, have dinner, and go to sleep!!
We have a 2:30am wake up call. The car is picking us up at 3...Ugh!! At least we can nap on the plane and we'll get to Disney early and have the whole day! I'm just praying it doesn't rain the whole time...saw the weather and it said scattered t-storms all week :( Oh well, we'll still have a great time!!
I will post photos when I come back!! See you in a week! :)

Bruno Baby!!
Well, the concert came and went. I have been so excited for weeks about seeing Bruno Mars! He is definitely one of the most amazing singers around now. His voice is amazing and his such a good performer. He's funny as hell too and it doesn't hurt that he's sexy haha!! :)
So anyway, I got the tickets a couple weeks ago when I found out that he would be in Allentown. Who would have thought?! I was so excited and went on to StubHub and found amazing tickets for the Pit!! Cam was supposed to go with me, but he had Army training and probably wouldn't make it after all. I asked my best friend, Justine if she would be my back-up and she accepted!!
Justine met me at my house and we headed to the fair grounds for the show. We got a quick bite to eat (amazing pizza) and then it was show time!! The tickets were definitely worth the price, we were right up in the action! So close we could see the sweat haha!
The opening act was Raphael Saadiq and he was actually really good! Then, they had to change the set and Bruno came out and he was wearing his fedora and a Lakers shirt!! The Lakers are my team so I was extra excited haha!!
Well...he was amazing, as I thought he would be. We were so close that I swear it looked like we locked eyes a few times haha. He is just so yummy and looks just as good in person. He sounds just a good too. He did almost all his songs and it was just such a fun time! Justine had a great time too and I converted her into loving Bruno haha!
I would say it was the best concert I've been to! When I woke up the next day my legs were killing me! I guess I got an extra 3 hours of cardio dancing like a fool haha! I feel like the concert went by so fast...such a good time, I seriously can't believe it!!
I took some photos and videos and I got one really good photo...stupid me should have taken the flash off, but I still got some good ones and a couple good videos! I wish I could have taped the whole thing, but I was jamming too much!!
Ok...to wrap it up... Justine and I had a great time. The show was amazing. Bruno Mars is the shit!
