AK to OK 4 months

So family and friends....I wanted to tell you we have started seeing a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Specialist here is Oklahoma City. We are starting our first procedure on Monday. We will see how things go. This doctor would like to try a few things before we try IVF(In-vitro). Please wish us luck and keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I will really try to keep things updated here on my blog.  I think it will help me to work through issues, frustrations, joys and triumphs of this journey.

AK to OK 3 months!!

Well, we have been here in Oklahoma City for three months now.  They school year is in full swing for me at Wiley Post Elementary.  I am very challenged by my new school.  I am enjoying my class, I have 19 students in 4th grade.  I am enjoying getting to know my team mates and other teacher at my school.  I work with great people, but my 4th grade team is supportive, smart and fun.  I joined the Putnam City bowling league and I bowl every Wednesday night.  I am really liking bowling!!!  I got a 134 last week!! Ryan is enjoying his job!  He got to teach a bit last week and had a former co-worker from Anchorage in his class.  He is slowly getting more responsibility.  He is also having fun learning how to create apps for the iPhone.  He is taking the Stanford Classes that are offered on itunes university. 
It looks like we will close on the sale of our home in Anchorage by the end of the week.  We will start looking at houses in December.  We have our lease until February 29th, 2012, so we have some time to look and really get a house that we want and deserve.  We have lots of trips planned in the near future.  We will be leaving to drive to Parowan, Utah on November 17th.  We will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with my mother-in-law's side of the family and two of Ryan's three brother's will also be joining us.  We will then be going home to Anchorage on December 22nd for two weeks.  I am really excited about this!  I will get to see family and friends and the mountains!!  My mom has decided to come and visit Oklahoma City.  She will be here during my spring break, March 17th-26th.  She will fly into Dallas and I will drive down and pick her up.
We have been trying to get out and experience Oklahoma and the surrounding areas.  We went to he Oklahoma State Fair and had a great time eating and people watching.  We also went down to Southlake, Texas and stayed with our friends the Mecham's.  We went to the Texas State Fair with them and had a great weekend.  We also got to visit with Ryan's brother Robert and his family. 
I am starting to feel more comfortable here in OKC and things are never dull.  I do miss my family and my old school, Kincaid.  I am trying to decide if I am going to get my master's degree and what I am going to pick as my emphasis. 
Another big thing that Ryan and I are going to be focusing on while we are here in Oklahoma is having a baby.  We have found a very successful fertility clinic here in Oklahoma City and I have my first appointment next week with a Reproductive Endocrinologist.  I am hoping this doctor can help me with my PCOS as well as the fertility issues that I have.  Wish us luck and lots of prayer will be needed if we decide to do IVF!
