Doctors Visit

We met with Dr. Patel this morning in Scottsdale and we got some news. Dr. Patel thinks that Melisa might have PCOS, Polycystic ovary syndrome. www.pcosupport.org/
The Doc did an ultrasound and believes that she has this syndrome. There are several things we have to do in the next few weeks to determine with 100% certainty that this is what the issue has been.
We are both somewhat relieved that we now know what the issue might be and the Doctor feels really good that there are several options for us to conceive a child.
Please remember us in your prayers, we are learning patience through this and I know God will use us to help others in the future.
We are still actively pursuing the adoption and this process, our hope is to do both!
Hope everyone is well!

Say a Prayer

We are going to visit a new fertility doctor this weekend! This is a very good doctor that is hard to get in for an appointment. They will hopefully give us some new options to help us get pregnant!
We know it will happen in God's time, but we are prayerful that this will happen with a little help from the doc.
Hope everyone is well!

We Found a Church in Prescott!

God is good, it was about a month ago that Melisa and I brought Reagan (our dog) to the dog park here in Prescott. We had just visited a church in Prescott that we were not happy with and that was the 3rd church we had tried.
At the park we met a great couple Chris and Rachel who have two very large dogs, Damar and Guiness, they are Great Danes. We found out that they attend Prescott Heights Church:: Heights Church ::, and they loved it. Well we had the chance to attend the church today and we couldn't have been happier! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in! We are definately going to get involved!
Chris and Rachel are awesome people and we are blessed to have met them! We went to BW3's today and had lunch with them and played trivia and Texas Hold'em.....Clearly Rachel and Chris are better at the games than either myself or Melisa....but we had a blast!

Adoption Update

We have recently gotten a response from our agency that there are some new girls that are early in their pregnancy and they might be a match for us. It is a while off though, before we hear anything. I am absolutely convinced that God is using this experience as a way to teach me patience. I have to admit most of my life I really did not let God teach me this, but as I am learning, this is out of my hands and he will decide when to make me and Melisa parents.
Please keep the process in your prayers, we are excited but I am really trying to learn patience through this!

Eastern Michigan University reunion!




We were in Toledo, Ohio last night with some friends from EMU! It was so great catching up with everyone, we spent the evening barbequing and playing games outside, the weather was beautiful. Just about all of us are now married with Al and Matt tieing the knot in September! Starr and Rob have two little ones Aiden and Keelin, they are getting so big!


It is hard to remember what it was like living back on campus, but being together with everyone helps remind me!
