The Moon Tower Inn

Rex and I finally made it down to the Moon Tower today. We sat outside and talked while we waited for our hotdogs. It was a nice little lunch date.

That box in the top right corner^ with the netting around it is a small garden where they're growing peppers, herbs, and spices. 

Isn't that sign great?! I don't mind waiting long if the food is awesome. And it totally was. I had the rabbit dog and Rex had the wild boar dog. They were both amazing. We will definitely be going back sometime very soon. 

Baby Talk

So I'm not pregnant but we're gonna keep trying until I am. In the meantime I've decided it would be best if we made a few changes in our lives. The first change is the way I eat. I want to incorporate tons more FRESH ORGANIC fruits and veggies into my diet. I also want to stop eating meat from the grocery store and ONLY eat grass-fed beef and chicken. Second change is exercise more. I know I've said it before (and I'm sure I'll say it again) but this time I really mean it. The future health of my unborn child is at stake.

This girl.

I love her so much.

The Best Soap Ever

We received this soap from Rex's cousin Allison at her wedding. It was one of the many goodies they left for us in our hotel room gift basket. I finally opened it and used it today and oh, man. I don't know why I waited so long. This is the best soap I've ever used. It smells amazing and it's rough so it exfoliates well, which I love. And it's all natural so thats the cherry on top. I'm never using normal soap again. 

Another Baby Is On The Way!

I just found out today that my friend Leah is expecting her second child. She's 6 weeks so far and I'm so happy for her. 

Well, fifty percent happy and fifty percent jealous. Rex and I have been trying for four months now. They did it on their first try. It's just so frustrating. And getting progressively worse as time goes by. 

I know in my head that there's other woman out there going through the same thing I am but I still feel like I'm all alone in this. I wish I knew other woman to talk to about what I'm going through.

If You're a Bird, I'm a Bird

I really needed this today.

Chemical Miscarriage

Today I learned something new. I experienced a chemical miscarriage in April and again this evening after dinner. I'm not completely sure that's what happened but after reading Natalie's post it made me think that was the best possibility. 

I went to the restroom after dinner and looked down to see I had started my period.. Ten days late. I feel so horrible. I'm so saddened and confused by it all. I feel like this may never happen for Rex and I and that makes me so, so sad.

I want to have babies so bad it hurts. I'm trying to stay positive but all I want to do is crawl into a hole and cry all day and night. Instead I'm going to sit here on the couch and watch Cloud Atlas with my husband. He has been so great to me. He's just as devastated as I am. We both want this so bad. All we can do is pray and keep trying, so that's what we're going to do. 

I'm Laaaate.

One week.

Rex said he had a dream last night that I was pregnant.

We shall see...

Wow. What a week last week was. There was so much unnecessary drama and fighting. I feel like it was mostly my fault. In my defense though I was extremely hormonal. I'm actually glad it's over and I'm home and things are back to normal. Going back to work today was rough but I did it. Only five more days till the weekend but I can't even be happy about that because Rex will be working out of town again so I get to spend my weekend/week alone. Yay for me..

Fourth of July Week is Over

i had a great time at the beach house with my family. On our way home we stopped in Galveston to meet up with some friends who were spending the weekend out there. We met them at the Beach Hut where they played volleyball while I watched. After that we went to Yaga's to grab a bite. By the end of it all I was so ready to be home, showered, and in bed. My phone is dead at the moment and officially broken so I wasn't able to take any pictures. They should be sending me a new one on Tuesday. 

Saturday Swells & a $10,000 Firework Show

The weather brought in some decent swells today so we grilled some steaks for lunch to prepare for a big day of surfing. After that we hung out with the girls on the beach, just the four of us. At night we walked down to the beach for the huge firework show put on by the owner of the firework stands out here. It was the perfect way to end the week.

Freaky Friday

Today started our rough. There was way too much yelling and fighting way too early in the morning. I suppose I should have saved the drama for my mama but alas I did not. I made a cake to say I'm Sorry. It was delicious. After everyone cooled off Rex and I took my cousin Katrina out to lunch at Stingeree's. Jenn, Brooke and John Carter met us up there. Brooke grabbed my phone and snapped this pic of Rex and I. I really like it for some reason.
