What's Your Song? and Giveaway!!

So most of you have been stopping by for


That I posted the other day :)

 Go check that out and win an Air Force or Army dog
 from Trooppaws!
 It has a place on the front of the dog for a picture of your spouse
 that I think is PERFECT for kids!
 Plus it is made out of uniform fabric
 and I just think that's really cool.

 I am also excited to share a super cool song with you.
Most people know Adele,
 but not many people have heard this particular song,
 but I love it!



Great beat,
 great words,
 jazzy,
 gotta love it!

 I have also begun the Pinterest craze.
 How the heck have I lived this long
 and somehow missed this wonderful time-wasting goodness??????
My husband will probably think I died.
Oh well.
 Follow me HERE.
 You'd be the first.
 And there's gotta be something awesome about being FIRST, right?
 After all, if you're not first, 
 you're last.
 Or so they say.
 Whoever "they" are.
 That's enough rambling for tonight :)
 Go join in the giveaway entering!!

Linkies and More News!

Well, I'm finally home at my computer
 on a Thursday
 to link up with 
for the What's Your Song? Link-up!

 I keep hearing songs on the radio these days
 and thinking,
 "Oh man, I should link that one up this week!"
 and then of course,
 inevitably forget lol

 But this week, I remembered!
 This is a new band
 I have told you guys about a little bit
 called The Dirty Guv'nahs,
 and BE and I are IN LOVE with them!!
 BE and I love dancing in the house to this song:




Also, I encourage you all to go to their facebook page
and download the WHOLE new album for FREE!!!
 Listen to the song "Courage".
 BE and I have decided that this song will be played at our funerals.
 It's absolute beauty.
 And I cry every time I hear it.


I'm a little frustrated,
 because the company that told me they would do a giveaway for me
 asked me to simply tell them the dates it will run
 so they can advertise it.
 Well I sent them an email a while ago,
 and not a single soul has gotten back to me via email or facebook.
 And that kind of ticks me off.
 Because I don't want to run this,
 and then not have the winner ever get their prize.
 So if they ever get back to me,
 I will run the giveaway.
 But in fairness to readers,
 I don't want to do it unless I know the company will deliver,
 and right now they're not seeming like I can trust them to do that.

 On a good note, though,
 there was totally a huge rainbow this morning
 and I could see BOTH ENDS from my driveway!
 It must have been God's way of saying,
 "Go get 'em, girl!!"
 Because after only 30 minutes in my interview this morning,
 I was offered a job!!
 And one with the opportunity to cross train to different areas :)
 I am so blessed!!
 WOOHOO!!

Ohhh Stand By Me

I am amazed at how great my husband has been lately,
 mostly because I'm a certified basket-case.
 Emotional wreck, definitely.
 Crazy? Getting there.

 TTC sucks.
 Plain and simple.
 Especially when it seems like every time you pray for babies,
 ten of your friends get them.
 but not you.
 Which is pretty much the story of my life.
 BE probably thinks I'm nuts
 because I drive myself crazy with it unintentionally.
 But I stare at the calendar.
 And bare my soul on this blog lol.
 And he just hugs me every month
 when he comes home from class 
 and I'm sitting there on the bathroom floor
 crying
 because the Tampax Pearl wrapper is still there,
 sitting in the wastebasket,
 the angering proof of another failed month of trying.
 Just sits there, and hugs me, for as long as I cry.
 He's so amazing.

 So here is another one of our favorite songs to dance to,
 and one that I find special these days,
 as I need him to stand by me more and more
 as I get crazier and crazier with this whole process.
 and continue to bear my soul on a blog.

Thursday Link-Up

Welcome back for the What's YOUR Song? Link-up
 hosted by Goodnight Moon








This week my song is from a band that my husband recently introduced me to
 called the Dirty Guv'nahs
 If you like the Kings of Leon, you will love these guys.
 Also, a cool sidenote,
 If you do like the song, then hit up their facebook page
 or find them
 to upload their ENTIRE new album for FREE.
 And who doesn't love free??
 Anyway, I LOVE this song, and even though it doesn't have a cool video 
 I decided I would share it anyway :)


I think it has a great message!
 Also, I'm getting really nervous,
 because coming up on Monday
 I go back to the hospital to get more blood drawn
 This time it's progesterone levels to see if I'm even ovulating.
 Scary, because if I'm not,
 that means we're facing a whole new host of problems.
 And I can't fathom dealing with that.
 The doctor even looked at me at my last appointment and said,
 "Hmm. I don't get it. You're young and healthy, your husband is young and healthy...
 This should be working for you." 
 Yeah. I know.
 I'm crossing my fingers SO HARD that when I get to my next appointment on the 17th
 something miraculous might have happened.
 I feel like I pray about it all the time.
 Even since my Wal-Mart epiphany where I decided I didn't want to go as extreme as plotting my basal body temperature on charts that looked like NASA took ten years designing them
 or denying my husband if our schedule wasn't conforming to "every other day" precisely
 or buying ten different kinds of ovulation predictor kits
 or all this other stuff.
 Yes I want a baby,
 but I also don't want my husband and I's love life to be so structured neither of us enjoys it anymore.
 So we'll see.
 Please keep your fingers crossed and prayers going for us this month
 We want this so bad.

It Must Be Thursday!

So it's Thursday,
 Which always means a link-up!
  
 So,
 It's time to link up with Goodnight Moon
For the What's Your Song? Link-Up!






So this week, my song
is one of my favorite workout songs!!
 And since I have been 
 AWESOME
 and am training for a 5K this past week,
 I thought I'd share one piece of my motivation team. 
And who doesn't need a good 80's throwback every now and then?


Get it?
 "Hurts so good?"
 For working out?
 yeah. :)
