Infertility

Today i was visiting a friends blog and on it she had a video that really hit me...it was about what couples go through when they are dealing with infertility issues....Shaun and I are still trying to get pregnant but are not having any luck... we have heard that there are some great fertility doctors here in Naperville, IL, so i am looking forward to finding one that will be willing and able to help us out...the video is very touching and helps people who haven't gone through this issue, kind of understand where we are and how we are feeling inside...we would appreciate you keeping us in your prayers..we know that God will help us get through this time in our lives, as we know he has a great plan for Shaun and I...we so look forward to seeing what that may be...below is a link to the video that our friend posted...MelisaTears and Hope - the infertility awareness project

The Windy City

So Melisa already found a job, she will be a nanny 3 days a week in Wheaton, IL about 15 minutes away! It doesn't take long for Melisa to win over a family with children, anyone would be lucky to have her as their nanny!
My job is going well, a lot different than my job in Arizona! I am really enjoying the people and the area is just beautiful right now. We are in the middle of the fall colors and wow, this is the part that I missed most in the midwest.

We sure are looking forward to enjoying the big city, I have already been downtown for work, but plan on going down there over a weekend soon so Melisa can do some shopping, if anyone out there wants to do some shopping you are more than welcome to come and stay at our house! Hope all is well!

We made it!

We drove into Naperville late yesterday and the moving trucks came today! Wow, what a road trip....even with the long days we had a good time! We saw parts of Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Memphis, and St. Louis. We were in 9 states during our adventure to the windy city 4 of which I had never seen before! We do live in a beautiful country!
Well now the true work begins, we did some unloading today and Melisa is doing more of it the next couple of days while I go to work. My first day on the job is tomorrow, so wish Melisa luck as she makes this our new home!
I will post some pictures once I download some of them....hope everyone is doing well!

on the road again...

well, we have hit the road to head to naperville, il...i am blogging in the car in arkansas on the way to memphis, tn...we should be in chicago by tuesday afternoon/evening...then the fun begins of unpacking everything....we have had great weather and very little traffic so far...
today we went to the oklahoma city bombing museum/memorial...that was so sad to see, but glad we were able to see it while we were in oklahoma city...what a tragedy that was...tonight when we get to memphis we are going to check out the elvis museum...and tomorrow we will head to st. louis, mo...we will keep you posted...until then

Moving....again......

We are off to another adventure. We are moving with Chase to the windy city! We are going to be there by October 1. We definately feel that God is leading us back to the Midwest, we are not sure why, but understand that we have been very prayerful about this and off to Chicago we go! We will be living in Naperville, IL, a suburb of Chicago and it is a great place. The downtown is amazing and it is only 25 miles from downtown Chicago! The weather is going to be rough, but we have been through it before!
Our ultimate goal is to be out West where it is a little warmer, but feel that this in a weird way will get us closer to that final goal! Please pray that our move goes smoothly and that we have a safe trip across country. We leave this Friday and our driving through to Chicago!

Matt and Al's Wedding!

This weekend we were in Detroit for Matt and Allison's wedding....it was a good old Eastern Michigan reunion! We had a great time and Melisa even got in a little dancing!

Pray for Baby Maule!

I just wanted to send a post to pray for our Cousins. Jennifer and Cheyne were expecting a baby and she went into premature labor today. They gave birth to a baby girl at 20 weeks, so the baby died. I am just sick about this, I am asking for everyones prayers for them.....I know God has his hands on them right now, we love you Jen and Cheyne!
