I realize now that I was so off when one of my friends was going through it. I wish I could go back and be better now that I know! I have one friend who has recently become very religious who keeps making statements about it relating to God and my relationship with him...she's cbc and doesn't get it AT ALL but it's beginning to be a real problem between us. She's my bff but recently I've been distancing bc of it :/
I had never been close with anyone struggling with this so I really had no idea either. I think in high school hearing that if you have sex you will get pregnant put in my mind that it would be super easy.
I think high school and media make this seem so! Like just being in the same room will get you KU! Plus people feeling like they need to be quiet when struggling makes it so that no one knows how common IF is and how long even without IF it can take!!!

My mom texted asking if I want to get lunch before the movie. No can do because my lunch will be in the form of popcorn. Have I mentioned before that I love me some movie theater popcorn?

There was a really good article on IF that I wanted to share on FB but didn't because I was a little scared for everyone to know and what kind of comments I would get. I wish people were more open about it but I very much understand why most people aren't.
Sorry for the lame brained comments summerdonna. My best friend has the same problem. She makes ridiculous comments about other peoples fertility so I haven't even told her we've been trying.
I'm waiting on my friend for bfast. It's beginning to become a big production. Just pick a place and time and get on with it. Now I'm regretting not going on a quick run and it will be too hot by the time I get home. My Sunday isn't starting off well.

I'm jealous of al of you who are going to see Jurassic World. MH and I just finished watching the trilogy and for some reason he doesn't want to have to pay to see it in the theaters. Which is strange because we usually see those types of action movies there.

PepperPottsJ Feel better! I've never had a kidney infection but have had enough patients with infections or stones to know they suck donkey balls. Hope you get some relief soon.
summerdonna WTF to your friend sending you that screenshot. Some people are just really dense about GKU/IF.
DH seems to have made a miraculous recovery from his man cold so cheers to that! It really seemed touch and go for a while there lol.
Chilling at urgent care... H loves to make sure the dr pays attn to me quickly so I had to put quite a bit of effort into sending him to the gym while I am here. Kidney infections no bueno

I first "came out" when I started our blog; I wanted people to understand (and stop asking when we were going to have a kid). For the most part it has been a very positive experience. Only one family member has been somewhat negative and really the problem is she comments on my facebook statuses about IF without every reading the blog. Basically everything she says is things I talk about in the blog as being unintentionally hurtful.....
Hope everyone who is going enjoys Jurrasic World! I can't wait to see it! There is this premium movie theater near us with these amazing reclining seats and popcorn is included. The tickets are cheaper during the week so I think we are going tomorrow night.
summerdonna serious WTF to your friend. I probably would have texted something very nasty back.
Just went to the gym with MH and made him do the TRX with me. He had never done it before watching someone try and balance is fun. He also kept randomly shouting "I don't bend that way"
Well we just got back from the church picnic. Someone stole the bowl I brought my contribution in. I'm hoping it shows up but I think someone he sticky fingers. I'm pretty upset but it's not like I can do anything about it.
I'm honestly surprised how many people want to see Jurassic World.
I have a lot of feelz on Jurassic Park. All of them are positive and I think Michael Crichton is brilliant. But what made the first one great is the reason why the rest don't interest me. Jurassic Park is my absolute most favorite book of all time after Gone With the Wind.
The Lost World (the book) was actually a fun play on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book "The Lost World" so I did enjoy that one. But, how many times can be people run from dinosaurs? Apparently, many many times.
EDIT: Part of me think that Michael Crichton would be immensely frustrated by people repeating their mistakes. Jurassic Park was all about learning from the past, understanding your limitations, and not having too much hubris. It's ironic that this movie was made, honestly.
EDIT EDIT: It's just a movie. I shouldn't write a thesis about it. Sorry. It is just for fun after all!

Ugh that sucks but I'm glad it has mostly been good for you though.
I'm trying to survive a miniature version of Jurassic World. There's a lizard loose in my house. It's too fast to catch. I may have to burn the house down and start fresh.

Thanks @ismellbooks!
I finally found inspiration for our bathroom too (once we buy the house). We desperately need a new shower curtain and mats and I didn't know what I wanted to do. Remembered I had the Nightmare Before Christmas piece below. Totally going to get a frame, hang it in the bathroom, and pull colors from it for everything. Paint the walls a light purple gray. Not sure the colors for everything else yet though.

The one thing that i've run into that really gets to me is when friends of mine say, "Why don't you just adopt?" Adoption is an expensive and most of the time a difficult process. It's not like going to an animal shelter and picking out a puppy. It's also not an option for us because of multiple reasons. So it hurts a little extra when I have to remind friends of that fact.
