Busy Weekend

This last weekend was very busy!

But it was also very good!

I have to start out by giving a little background,

some background that I've tried telling before but the timing never felt quite right.

Serious, I wrote entire posts,

but then never posted them.

I've never wanted it to come across as if I'm hoping people will feel sorry for us,

because that is NOT what I want.

I just want people to be informed so they are a little more aware of others' feelings.

This weekend a few things happened that helped me to see a way to get across the feelings I want to,

which I will explain as the weekend's events unfold.

So the background:

My sweet husband and I struggle with infertility.

We've been trying for almost 2.5 years.

Some days are good

and some are not so good.

I'm grateful that we have each other to rely on!

So the first thing that happened that helped me decide to share this information was that 

we went to a new doctor!

I've been going to a doctor close to us and I haven't liked her since day one.

Seriously!

She wasn't very nice,

I'll leave it at that.

So after about a year and a half of her, she finally referred us to an infertility specialist.

The actual one she referred us to was not covered by our insurance so our insurance recommended the one we went to.

Turns out we LOVE our new doctor and his staff!

He personally came out and introduced himself to us while we were waiting for our name to be called.

And then he took us back to start our consultation!

He was very nice and explained everything that he did or wanted to do and answered our questions!

He also didn't really trust my previous doctor (which I really appreciated).

After an hour we left feeling hope!

Which to me is a success!

After that we headed to my parents home!

We woke up bright and early to head down to my little brother's cross country meet 

(I'm not entirely sure what they are called).

He's the one in the green shorts and white and green shirt.

This is his coach. He is so funny to watch, he gets SO into it!

Notice his feet (he was bouncing up and down cheering on his boys)!

This is their team after the race, they all got metals 

(even though one kid, the coach's son, forgot to put his one.. lol).

By the way, only the top 20 got metals,

and my brother's team was from the smaller division so they are pretty good!

They came in second in their division!

My little bro came in 7th in his division! 

After that we headed back home.

We listened to the last talk of Saturday morning conference 

and most of the afternoon session in the car on the ride home.

Don't think I'm a terrible person, but I did sleep some too, we woke up early and stayed up late!

However, I did wake up and hear a talk I needed to hear

(reason 2).

The talk is by Elder Neil L. Andersen.

I really loved the part where he talks about people that have a hard time having children.

I'm so grateful that the leaders of our Church are inspired by our Heavenly Father to say things that people need to hear!

Then after we got home we got ready for my sister's Junior Recital!

Although a little blurry, very cute picture of my talented sister (both of my sisters are talented)

My sisters, Mom, and Grandma!

She sang beautifully! 

She and her friend sang a duet together that also really good, 

One of her friends put it on her facebook so you can go here to listen to it if you would like!

Sunday we watched conference and drove home, 

we also listened to the sessions we missed because the Church is so technologically advanced!

It was great!

If you missed it, go here and enjoy!
