I will have to say that the cooking class that I did a few weeks ago was a blast. So my Aunt came up from so cal and did a cooking class and told us about this new cookware that came out to the public. It was so much fun. I had some of my favorite people over. We had some of the best food ever. I would have never have thought of the things that we got to eat. The cool part is all of the recipes that we did were all 10 min recipes. I had a blast. It was so fun for me to be with my friends and family. I want to say a special thanks to every one that came and to my Aunt Lori that hooked us up with some good food. I hope to do another one again some time. THis is what we ate for dinner that night. Sorry but I for got to take pics of all of the food. I will let you know that is was all very good

My Endless Heart Break
I thought that this post would be going very different. I know that some of you are aware of our infertility that we have. This last month Ryan and I chose to give INVETRO one more chance. It was a long proses and painful just like it was back in June. But this time we felt different. We did all of the shots and the pills and the appointments. This last Sunday we were getting the call to see if it worked or not. They had transferred 2 embeors. We were very hopeful. It was great I had my parents with us along with the Foster family and the Greehalgh's had surprised me and drove out from ABQ to be hear to support us with the out come. It was very nice to have them all there. Well time had finally come and Ryan got the phone call from our Dr. I could not be in the room when this all took place. We were all standing in the kitchen when Ryan walked in and shouted WE ARE PREGNANT!!! We all jumped and crayed and hugged and kissed. I never in my life thought that I would here or say those words.
The next day came and my parents went back home and my sisters and there family's played. But to my horror I started to bleed. I was so scared and I could not contain my tears. I bleed for the next few day and cramped. Come Friday evening when I would have been 5 weeks I got the call from the Dr that it was true. I had miscarried my two babies.
I don't even know what to do at this point. I feel like I am going crazy. I am trying to find the good in this but I am having a really hard time. My loss of 6 children is some thing that I never thought I would have to go through. I don't even know what els to type. I wish that I had more faith. Maybe that is why this is happening. He has given this trial to me and I am still trying to sort it all out. I am gratefully for all of the prayers and thought of every one. Know that I love my Husband more than anything and with him by my side I want to make it. I love you all and I am grateful for every one of you out there.....Please pardon all of my spelling mistakes and pour gramer.
