So today Jill and I went for IUI #8 (I think) and after a few time mishaps we were in the exam room.... the dr. was an 1 hour late. (EDIT: the endocrinologist) The doctor had me plunge the sperms... he said it was my job to get her pregnant. I was about 12 shades of red... but it was very nice to feel a part of it.
Then, I missed my 1st class of students and I wouldn't exactly say I "missed" them. :)
I enjoyed my 2nd and 3rd classes of students today. They wanted to talk all about the Angels.
Which by the way... we were at the last game in which they won game 100.
We are babysitting the kids tonight... my job is soccer practice. Can't wait until it's our kid's soccer practice.
Tomorrow is Disneyland to celebrate the new jewish year... it will be the twins first time.
Countdown to October 13... cross your fingers and toes for this to be our time to have a baby. |

Jill seems to be on the mend. We get the pathology results on Friday... then we're off to Vegas for a get away vacation weekend. Tonight I am off to the Angel game, I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been to a game in about a month. Crazy.
I'm really happy to get the results for Jill on Friday. Then we can start the countdown to baby time again.
We just returned from an amazing week in Lake Tahoe... that lake is beautiful. I really would like to get back up there during snow season. I think its WAY better than Big Bear. Any one up for a snowy trip in December?
I have about 3 weeks until I'm back to work. My 3rd year teaching... that's pretty crazy to think about.
Off to the game.... |

I'm home alone while Jill sleeps in the hospital for the night. I feel like such a nerd for being an insomniac and missing her. It's JUST ONE NIGHT! Sheesh!
Her surgery went well. We don't get the results until Friday, keep your fingers crossed for good news.
We had a great trip to Lake Tahoe last week. I really think I want to vacation in Tahoe many more times. It's just so beautiful!
I'm yawning... there's hope. The dogs are keeping me company. G'nite! |

In one week, 7/7/08, Jill and I will have been "married" for 1 year. On that same day we will be going to the Orange County Santa Ana courthouse and be married officially and legally. We decided to go low key... we already had the big to do and it feels like we're already married. In fact, we were just going to have a friend do the ceremony (again) with the 2 of us... but Gail convinced me it's more of a civil action to do it at the courthouse. Alas, that is where we will be sharing our vows again. I'm really looking forward to being legally married... it seems only fair (at the very least) to be recognized as a real married couple.
That's the good news going on... hope all is well in everyone's world. Happy 4th of July! |

Well Jill started a blog and linked me so I thought I'd go ahead and post something recent. Here's the short story.... since I last posted I J and I had a beautiful wedding on 7-7-7, we went to Hawaii for 2 weeks, we bought a town home in Orange County, we bought a travel trailer, I bought a TITAN truck, I completed my teaching credential, I made it through the massive budget cuts at my school district, I had my ACL reconstructed through arthroscopic knee surgery, and we've been TTC for about 8 months. That's it! So onto the latest....
There's only 1 full week of school for my students and I am looking forward to a short break. I had fun year this year, I taught 1 period of Earth Science to 9th graders and 1 period of CAHSEE prep to 12th graders, and I also co-taught inclusion Algebra I. I had a WAY better year this year teaching and had a lot of fun with my students. I am looking forward to next year. I am teaching summer school this summer to make some extra cash. The hours aren't bad, M-Th and out at 1pm for 6 weeks. When summer school is out we'll head out in our new trailer to Lake Tahoe and travel California for about 3 weeks in August. We are looking forward to our big trip, we will probably take a couple small trips before then.
Life is good for us. We love our new house and so do the dogs. We are excited that California has decided to allow us to get married legally! We won't have another ceremony, but it's an awesome 1 year anniversary thing to do!
I guess that's all for now.... don't know if anyone reads this anymore... perhaps I'll get some onlookers from Jill's blog and continue to update... depends on how boring summer school is I suppose. That's all for now! Enjoy the sun SoCal friends! |

Just sharing.....
"Home"
I can remember the first time I went home. I felt so comfortable, so safe, so me. I had never seen so many stars in the sky, so many colors in the sunset, so many friendly faces all around me. I remember when I arrived I felt that rest of the world and my life disappeared. Every summer I returned home, camp scherman, my haven. There were trails to hike, meals to make, friends to share memories with , songs to sing and guitars to play. I bet my parents never knew the wonderful place they had introduced me to. I learned that sometimes life has disappointments, but all experiences make me stronger. My home would give me a foundation for all of my life. I met all of my closest friends, became the person that I am and I met my soul mate. When I think of home, I think of the song “where the cactus meets the mountains and the mountains touch the sky, where the sky is the bluest blue that it can be, where a million stars like diamonds smile on campfires burning low, the beauty is there , the friendships there, and at times we’ll have to say good-bye, but our hearts always be.” Home is the only place I’ve ever truly been myself. I learned how to be the best person possible all the time. I learned that beauty is in so many things, in blue skies, in orange yellow and red sunsets, in green pine trees that smell like butterscotch, in orange and grey campfires that smell my clothes up for days, in a child’s laughter, in songs that stay in my head……. I learned that laughter, compassion, friendship and unconditional love is the only way to live. I learned that home wasn’t just that place that you wrote as your return address. Home is the people I am around. Home is what I make it. |

Jill asked me to update my blog. Truthfully I was kind of done staring at my own sad news... but didn't have the heart to add to it. Alas... life goes on.
I/We just enjoyed 2 weeks off from work... it's great to be a teacher! We spent a lot of time together, time with friends, time with family and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's kind of sad to return to work... but I can't be too sad! Some people returned to work the day after x-mas! Ug! I remember doing that!
We've been very busy planning the wedding. Jill trying on dresses, me trying to figure out odds and ends... it seems unreal! But... on our website it's says something like 180 odd days! Crazy!
Well, I'm exhausted... been taking care of the new twins and the older brother all day! Off to watch Season 9 of Friends! I only am missing 6&7 I hope to get them for my birthday! Hint Hint!
Happy New Year everyone! Love! |

| a sad day |

My Nana, Gertrude "Trudy" Silberman died on Wednesday, October 18, 2006. She was 85 and had been married for 64 years to my grandfather.
I just spent one of the hardest weekends up in Chico taking care of my grandpa. It was a very sad weekend.
My nana impacted so many people in her life. She was the energy that walked into a room that made most people smile and feel better about themselves. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She loved painting and volunteered at the local "cancer shop." She used to only shop at the cancer shop, but she loved it so much, she began bringing everyone's donations from her home and then spending time at the shop working. Her death was a surprise, most of us thought she'd live forever, that kind of energy seemed unstoppable. My aunt and uncle told me that people in the hospital, doctors and nurses cried when she passed. The people at their home, Sycamore Glen, told me that no one cried before as much as they did when my nana, Trudy died. They people at Sycamore Glen asked me "are you as nice as her?" I can only hope to be 1/2 as nice I told them. I told them she was my role model and they said "she's a great role model to have."
I can't believe that she's really gone. It is a surreal feeling. I've cried as much as I think possible, and yet I feel tears coming on again. I realize that it's hard to lose a loved one.
My Nana leaves behind her husband, 2 sons and 3 grandchildren. I am the oldest and only girl.
My grandpa is also a very wonderful person. Everyone loves him at Sycamore Glen. I adore him. What makes this harder is that grandpa has Alzheimer's. He is not fully able to take care of himself. We will have to move him to a home where there is 24-hour care. My nana used to do that for him. He is very sad about losing my Nana. I wish the Alzheimer's would not cause him more sadness, but it seems that it does. He is reminded every 5 minutes that she is no longer there and seems to grieve all over again. I hope that he will be able to find some comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain.
I cared for my grandpa this weekend. It's very rewarding caring for him. Taking him his food, getting his clothes out, spending time with him. He is so grateful to be taken care of, its no wonder why my Nana never complained.
I will miss my Nana very much. I can only hope that I can live my life in such a way that people will say as nice of things about me, as they do her. |
