1. My name was going to be Holly but when I was born mum said I was too big a baby and she called Brielle instead LOL
2. I have a fish called Saphire - he is a Japanese fighting fish and he's a fighter alright - he has almost died on numerous occasions. (once because my DH forgot to feed him whilst we were in hospital - 5 days in total - I found out in hospital that he hadnt been feeding the fish (accidentally) and I had a breakdown LOL very embarrassing. He drove home from the hospital at 9.30pm to see if he was alive for me and then drove back to the hospital bless him)
3. My nickname has been Breezy Bum - and still is by a few people (no it doesnt mean i fart alot LOL)
4. My DH and I dated when I was 14 but I broke up with him after a week because he was too shy LOL - 3 years later we dated again - Fast forward to now and we have been together 12 years married 4 years.
5. Im a big fan of Americas Next Top Model LOL (i dont watch the australian one hehehe)
I couldnt think of anything else - I tell everybody everything so theres not much people dont know about me.
Hi, My name is Jen...I'm 30...dh will be 30 in Feb..can't tell you how excitied I am about this. He's a Staff SGT in the US Marines. I have a 2 year old daughter, Kaylee. I want to continue to see everyone's progress over on this board..but most of you know that I'm not ttc anymore due to a bone tumor in my leg. But I do know the pain that endo can cause.
five things.
1. I got hurt in basic training
2. dh and I met over 10 years ago.
3. I have 2 dogs.
4. I hate the snow!!! (actually, I think a lot of you know this one).
5. I miss school.
I know lame..but not feeling so good today..I just wanted to post something...to let you all know I'm here.
Jen!!! welcome and it's okay you are not TTC, I wanted all of us to be together over here
You and the other grads can help answer questions and cheer us TTC on Thanks for coming over and these icons are so much fun over here!! Also wanted to add that we all have endo and can help each other just by being supportive to each other because we all know how much it sucks.
Janay

Huh...I hate theses only because I never know what to say:
1. My dh and I have been together for almost 6 yr and married 4.5.
2. I am going to school to get a degree in psychology w/ a minor in crimiology and forensics. I want to apply for the CSI team when dh comes home from Iraq.
3. I love to fish, hike and swim. Zach has already been fishing more times then my dh.
4. I love the snow...all but having to shovel it every few days right now.
5. I really am hoping to try for another ivf baby when dh get home next winter.
1. I am a very adventurous person and I use to rock climb when I was in my 20's and LOVED it!!! I also want to bungee jump and go white river rafting in the next few years
2. I'm VERY "chatty" in person and sometimes my friends can't get a word in edgewise
3. I love to hike in the mountains of Colorado, but am so scared of seeing a snake, I'm ALWAYS on the lookout. I'm deathly afraid of snakes
4. I love watching Nascar races and I AM NOT a redneck
5. I play jokes on DH all the time and it's funny because he is so gullable (sp) After my last surgery, we were home a few days and I thought it would be funny if I screamed real loud and told him my stomach split wide open, and he came in and freaked out before I could say j/k He was not laughing, but I was...mean I know...but funny
Brie I laughed at your Breezy-bum comment I use to have a beta fish too, but he passed when my mom forgot to feed him while we were on vacation At least she fed our cats
Okay who's next?

Janay...I love to hike too..Well I did when I lived in Utah and before I hurt myself...in fact, I would skip school and go hike the mtns and lay on the rocks to get a tan w/my friends.
I'm scared of snakes...and I'm told they are really bad here...rattlesnakes...I've only seen one once and that was in Southern Utah..it didn't even care about us..it was just laying on the side of the trail..suntanning...but I'm so scared of them..when we bought our house..I was so scared of them..that I put grass in our front and back lawn...I'm always scared one is going to bite my dogs.
I like this smiley..I actually need to do some...lol
Jen, I don't blame you for putting grass in I was walking with DH like 5 years back in our neighborhood where there are lots of trails and we saw a HUGE snake and I ran and screamed like a lunatic and that about gave me a heart attack LOL, but now we hike in the mountains here a few times a month in the summer, and I just know one of these days I am going to see a rattle snake and totally freak out!!!
I bet the weather in Yuma is nice...I can't wait until Spring :flower

Yup I moved from UT to AZ..my shoulder is umm okay..I took a nap at 4p..dh woke me up at 6p..It felt like a was hit by a train...but I've been in a car wreck before and I had back/neck whiplash...and strained some muscles...it took me about a week to feel back to normal and I remember feeling like I was hit by a train...
The muscle relaxers and pain killers are helping.
good news: dh and I talked about this: if he ends up on Recruing and when I get fixed we are going to start ttc#2...so that made me happy.
I'm sorry..I didn't understand your question...I moved to Arizona from utah in 2002..that's when I married Jim. I miss the mountains..but I love the nice weather we're having right now...

Taking a break from ttc #2...diagnosed w/bone tumor Nov 07. Benign tumor removed Mar 28 2008..back to ttc April 2008.
TTC #2 w/ endo, adenomyosis, fibroid and I get functional cysts all the time. My cycle days are getting shorter!!! I'm thinking I'm closer to my BFP. Dh is leaving for deployment Sept/Oct.
Wendy, I am also into saving the environment. I also eat organic almost all of the time, and recycle. I just got into all of it this year, but love doing things to save the earth I also love so you think you can dance.
I am glad you played my little GTKY game

Hey Janay its great to see that u are doing things to help the environment it makes me happy when i hear more people wanting to make the change, ive been into it for years so if u need to no any good tips feel free to ask.
I try & eat organic as much as is available & i have an organic vegie patch which i grow cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, beans etc but ive been a bit lazy lately coz i really do need to plant more seedlings. its cheaper & more sustainable if i can grow as much as i can with the little room i have.
talk soon
Wendy, that is great that you grow your own things. Someday I will have a garden when we buy a house and can't wait. I think it's great to be doing things for our earth Keep up the good work So are you going to use cloth diapers? Just curious. I'm still thinking I will when I have a baby.
