The results are in!

I need another drum roll please....

Guess what?!

I PASSED!!!!! 


 Holy Hannah I can't believe it!! I know I said I felt confident but that was all about the power of positive thinking. haha. They said it would take 2-4 weeks for the results to be posted online so I've been checking the results page every day for a week. It was making me so anxious! I didn't realize I would get an email. haha. But I did when I was driving home from women's conference on Friday. I had already called Justin to meet me at the gas station to help me fill my car with gas, so as I pulled in and parked by the pump, I opened the BOC website. I had been preparing myself on the drive for complete failure. I was certain at that moment I had failed the test. But I opened it up and saw that it said "Eligible for Certification"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
(This is the website. I was waiting for it to change from "Registered" to "Eligible for Cert." Had I failed, it would have gone the other way and said "Eligible for Exam" meaning I could take it again if I wanted. But I did not want that!) 

 I couldn't believe it. Justin had come up to my car and was checking on something and I practically honked in his face and waved him into the car. I started crying and screamed I PASSED! He gave me a confused look so I said "My Test! I Passed!" So he leaned over and hugged me and was just as excited as I needed him to be. haha. But then he said "We really need to find a better place to find out good news." hahaha. (We found out we were prego in the car too. haha) 

 Anyway, I am beyond thrilled and so relieved. This is what I've been working for for over 6 years and it's finally all paid off. All I have to do is send the BOC some verifications and it's all done. I can officially start practicing as an ATC. 

This is a dream come true!

Next Step

I've been avoiding this post for a while now. In fact, a long time... I've been thinking about it since I wrote the post about our little grey circles that didn't make it. I like writing but the last few weeks have been kinda blah. I also think I've been a little hesitant because I've always wanted these posts to be super happy and chipper but that's not exactly how I feel. After the last post I did get a lot of really nice feedback, one in particular that made me feel extra good. My aunt is an incredible person and I love talking to her. She said to me that no matter how long those grey circles were my babies, they still were and I was allowed to grieve as much as I wanted. I think that kind of gave me permission to really cry and it made me feel a lot better. Thanks Kim. :)  But now we're on to bigger and better things. I can't lie and say that I'm super excited about this transfer. I think I got WAY too excited for the last one/first one and it

Halloween Murder Mystery Night

Confession... I think it's probably annoying for some of you to read these posts about Mutual activities we do. The reason I post about them is because most if not all of my ideas come from other posts that I've searched for. So while the things we do aren't that great, I still want to offer whatever inspiration I can for those to follow. So...  We did another really great activity for the Young Women a couple weeks ago! haha. This one was a Halloween Murder Mystery Dinner and it turned out awesome!!! It was the brain child of one of my fabulous Laurels who participated in the same activity a couple years ago. Fortunately, she was the only one! So it was a perfect activity for the rest. And to top it all off, it was an LDS theme, so it was all perfectly appropriate. Yay! Here's a few pics. :) This was the center of the table. Doesn't it look cool?! I should have take a closer pic of the candles. Those are actually rootbeer bottles that I spray painted. Th

Our little grey circles!

The transfer happened this past weekend!! Yay!! I'm sure some of you are thinking "Yay! What the heck is she talking about?!" Haha. As a reminder... The short story of IVF goes like this.  Step 1- Take a bunch of drugs to make my ovaries over produce.  Step 2- Collect the eggs via surgery.  Step 3- Fancy (and expensive!) doctors take Justin's sperm and inject it into the eggs in a little petri dish.  Step 4- We wait patiently while they grow.  The next step happened this weekend! They take the now fertilized eggs and put them back into my womb to hopefully implant and grow!! This is also the "moment of conception" for us. A woman will likely have lots of eggs fertilize in her lifetime but she doesn't get pregnant if they don't implant. So this is it! The funny thing about it is that Justin wasn't there. :( He had an appointment at work that couldn't be changed so for the rest of our lives we will be able to joke that Justin wasn't
