This is Tiffany right after they gave her the drugs!! ha ha ha….. she is going to kill me for putting it up here, but if you woke up @ 4:00 am, haven’t had anything to drink or eat…not even gum, and you just got a lots of drugs, I don’t think you or me could look as beautiful!
(man I love my wife!)
Here is what the Dr. found out while fishing around in Tiffany:
1) little bit of Endometriosis on the Ovaries
2) Decent mount of gelatinous scar tissue behind the uterus (caused by reverse menstrual bleeding….it is the place that the eggs drop after the bleeding times)
3) possibly a little blockage in the fallopian tubes
The Dr. said that everything looked good now, and that he is hopeful and looking forward to the results that the next round of shots will provide. he was glad to know everything with what he is dealing with, and the results after this surgery are even better for most people than before it.. he seemed hopeful.
Thank you for your prayers and please keep them up!
(I will try to see if I can post the photos of the surgery just like last time, but until then please just pray for us and Tifany is heal up and take it easy for a few days!
well, no luck or joy in the second round of attempted baby making with shots!!! @$:/-@$$”&$”&?!!@”&;;!!!!
it is very difficult! For me & tiffany, but I will live a life of thanks in the midst of live or death! It just makes it a little mire difficult to celebate God as a baby this time of year, heh. My heart breaks, & it kills me to see my wife’s heart ache just as deep as mine.
Next step is to have Tiffany go through a second round of surgery to clear anything that might be causing the lack of fertility, I am sure that will come after Christmas, so thank you for your prayers and thoughts! Please keep them coming! Please.
Here is a picture of our Christmas tree this year. The Halo helmet I stole form a story in Digg.com, but the gender of the tree was all me…thanks to the help of Tiffany’s favorite store Michael’s! When I saw those balls I knew exactly what I had in mind for them! oh yeah!
==================== Here is the final picture of the aftermath after a game of Munchkin (I think on Tiffany’s Birthday) I love this game, but I never win at it..and I did this time, so here is all my cards and the final 10 level on the dice! Oh man it was a great day!
===============================================
And last but never least is the note that Tiffany was artificially inseminated Friday…so here we go on the second round of trying to make a Baby! I try to make it a fun time when we go, so this time instead of walking into the Dr.’s office with the plain brown paper bag containing my “deposit for the bank of Tiffany” I decided that I would spruce it up a little bit and give it a little Starbucks packaging. I can’t tell you how many people asked me if I brought them Starbucks.. i tried to tell them that they probably did not want what was in the bag, ha ha ha ha…. but come to find out the Dr. loves Starbucks and gave me a high five when he found out what we had done! I made everyone smile, and that is exactly what the Dr. ordered for that day since it is our second round…so here is the pea for you all to please pray for us, and that if this is what god desires for us to do/have…then please pray for us and the possible future baby! Thanks and God bless yall!!!! KUTPs!!!
Hey every one. Tiffany started her cycle yesterday so we will not be having a baby this time around. Please keep us in your prayers! Thanks & God bless you
Well, life has been going along wonderfully as of late! Tons of stuff going on, but nothing is new there. heh…. Well, I thought that I would send yall some photos of what has been going on , and even though it kills me to not use my Nikon D40 camera to take them…the iPhone does OK in a pinch…but I tell ya once you go digital SLR you don’t go back…..anyway… here is a picture of Sushi! Wow…talk about flexible…and VERY funny!OK this next photo is of a friend of mine, but is what what is around him that makes my wife AMAZING!!!! let me explain, a friend of mine Scott, whom I shoot pictures with once a month in Cinci, was asked (or maybe he requested…not sure, but) has lots of his photos up on display @ his local Starbucks! I went yesterday and saw them…and Dang it was awesome!…anyway, I told the friend’s of mine @ Starbucks, that I would love that someday, and Tiffany heard me say it…so Tiffany contacts the lady that allows them to be up and all, and while I went to go watch Beowolf!! (yeah it was awesome!) Tiffany and Kelly went and printed several of their favorite photos and framed them and put them up @ Starbucks in Crestview Hills!!!! And then we went to go eat and then Court and Kelly went with us there to go play Munchkin (and I did not think anything of it until I looked over to the wall, past a great singing guy with a guitar, and noticed one of my photos hanging on the wall where they put local artists’ work up. And my first thought was, “I can’t believe that someone stole my photo off of Flickr and had the guts to print it up and frame it and call it their own!”, and then I noticed the picture next to that one was mine as well, and then the one next to that one, and I looked @ Tiffany, and she smiled and gave me a hug, and that is when I noticed that Tiffany for my Birthday (tomorrow) she printed off and framed several of her and others’ favorite photos and put them up in the store. She contacted the store artist relations, etc…and got the permission! Unbelievable! I just could not believe it… I never thought anyone would ever think that my photos would be good enough to put up somewhere, and it was all my AMAZING WONDERFUL wife’s idea! Man I love her!!! Dang… so here is the surprise friend Thor modeling in front of my photos!! (Man, I can’t believe you were there Thor!! Crazy!)
And for those of you who don’t know Tiffany and I are trying the fertility shots to try to have a baby, and after three rounds of this we will just adopt, but we (well she took them…I administered them) and Tiffany was inseminated last Wednesday! So, now we wait, if she does not have a “menstrual cycle” in two weeks then we go back into the Dr. and they take a blood sample pregnancy test. So far everything has gone wonderfully, and Tiffany has been have tons of pregnancy systems, but we both think that it is just the shots/meds….but it sure is hard not to get your hopes up!!!!! All I could ever do is ask for all of yall to be praying for us!
if you want to read Tiffany’s thoughts…then go to her blog here!
——————– So, for all of this to work, I have to go make a deposit, and then they take “my boys” (my deposit) and put it into the bank of Tiffany….well, I have to say that the room that I make my deposit in is sure a little weird. Here is the photo of the room, with a couch, TV, and you can even see my (empty) deposit cup on the table in the back there…but the next photo is what is funny….. This next framed picture was the only picture in the room, and look at what it was…. an arial photo of an Ohio State football game… I guess some guys just get excited about looking at a football game… ha ha ha ha ha ha….. Well, here is my open book life! I hope to have a WONDERFUL birthday tomorrow, and I hope that yall are so blessed this week with family, food, and maybe even shopping! Love yall, and God bless ya!
(photo by B Tal) Well for those of you who don’t know, My parents have been visiting us for a month!!! It has been awesome getting to see them and be with them, and I would not have traded there visit for the world, but it has messed up our schedules a little bit here and there, but it is so worth it. And last week we went with them to Washington D.C., and Tiffany and my Mom had never been there before, so that was an awesome experience too!
(I promise pictures are coming, I just need to find some time)
And, so this weekend I will be traveling to Nashville to attend the EmergingUMC: a Gathering. Gary and I will be speaking, and the entire gathering will provide a bunch of presenters that are doing “Emerging/missional” Kingdom work. Taylor intentionally desired to bring in people who are doing and being the work and not so much those that stay in the ideology realm. So, I am looking forward to getting to know and meet fellow co-servants in the Kingdom and hopefully sharing a little bit about what God is doing in Th3 Waters and I believe in the UMC, and the Kingdom as a whole. I hope to blog a little bit more often while I am down there.
Oh and Did I mention that Halo3 came out and I beat it last night! I did not get to play it at all the week it came out due to the trip, and so Brad (a GREAT FRIEND) decided that he would play it through with me online and let me experience the main game, before I started to get too deep into multiplayer. So anyway… if you are a halo3 fan…be sure to beat it on Legendary, there is a different
No one can ever get my hair, but it will have to do. And even though I know I am fatter than that, Tiffany would not let me put the fat one up, because, “your sholders are still wider than the rest of your body.” heh heh
Oh and guess what? I will be on vacation with my parents the week Halo 3 comes out and the first episode of Heroes (and that new show called Chuck that looks good) comes on!!!! I can not believe it! I will have to play the game for the first time while my friends are playing it the second and third…on line together with them. Oh well, Life goes on! Vacation should be fun still none-the-less, heh.
My friend Alan had a Myers-Briggs kind of assessment on his blog, and so knowing that they change all the time in one’s life, I decided to go ahead and see what I was now-a-days. here it is:
And here is the description…yall tell me if it is right or wrong….(sometimes I wonder if my wife should fill this out fro me instead of me, heh.)
Here is the website’s description:
ENTP – The “Originator”
ENTPs are logical, innovative, curious and downright inventive. They see possibilities for improvement everywhere and possess the ability to understand complex concepts. ENTPs are introspective and carefree nonconformists. They often neglect the more common areas of life while pursuing new solutions. ENTPs can be good conversationalists and exciting company.

I was reading Eric’s blog today and if any of yall know me you know that I really love Revelation (the last book in the bible) and of course you know that I am not a freak when it comes to reading it, but it is just cool, well here is a video that I thought was cute enough for yall to see about one man’s challenges with all the interpretations, thanks Eric!
Oh, and Happy Anniversary (yesterday) Tiffany! 9 years and counting! Woo hoo! Love you girl!
So four of us jump into our car and travel up to the northern side of Cinci. to go watch a preview showing of Harry Potter! The ticket says: 12:10am 07/10/07….now to me that looks like the show is going to be LAST NIGHT!!!! Well, nope the theater is filled with either VERY worng computers or wrong employees! I went yesterday morning to go buy the tickets to the show (that I thought was last night) and the girl told me after I clarified several times that the movie was tonight (last night) and she said with another employee beside her that, “Yes it is tonight..it even says here on the ticket,” she says! So I drove twice in one day all the way up to northern Cinci for very little excitement…so guess what…yep, we get to go back tonight to get to see the movie that Tiffany is dieing to watch! Ouch! Oh well, So, pray for us to be able to make it back up there without killing a theater employee!
