Last Friday I got off work a little early and headed up to my nephew's (Trey) water birthday party. I had my camera in the car, but I was too lazy to go get it...see pics on Lyssa's blog! It was so much fun to watch all the little kids go down the huge water slide while we sat in the shade. I did go and sit in the sun for a minute.. but looking at my whiteness, you would never know!!
I then went to the Dr. in Brigham to get my thyroid tested. I thought this may be why I am having a horrible time loosing weight and getting pregnant.. Nope.. came back normal (which I am super grateful for), so now I have to figure out what the problem is, which nobody can explain! I exercise religiously (as Brandon puts it) and really watch what I eat and I really feel like I am gaining weight every day and I am not exaggerating! It is so not fun and makes me really ornery! Sorry for everyone that has to deal with my complaining. Maybe one day I might figure it out!
I then went to get the car inspected and registered and the handle broke off--thanks for the comments on that--we did get it fixed and they paid for it completely. I was definately agreeing with you all, but wanted to see what everyone else said before I gave my opinion. Then a couple errands and to dinner with mom and Grandma and Grandpa Hartshorn! I then headed home.. and the freeway was closed.. why the crap do they close it? Dang Construction!! Brandon wasn't able to come with me because he couldn't get off work--only 2 more weeks of his unpaid work !:)
Saturday we went to a sealing at the SLC temple. My Aunt Chris and Uncle Greg adopted a little girl (Taylee Grace Steed) about 6 months ago. The adoption was finalized and they were finally able to be sealed together as a family. She has brought so much joy and happiness to them. It was so much fun to be there and watch them be "stuck together forever" as the sealer put it! :) The sealer did an awesome job and told AMAZING stories from his many years of life experiences! I could barely understand him and got bits and pieces because he was talking so fast, but Brandon filled in the blanks later! WOW!! What a blessing for them!!
Brandon and I at the temple..
My sexy husband! Doesn't he look good? :)
We were walking back to the car and I was just walking across the street to the conference center and I turned around to talk to my mom and there was a hole in the road and of course I found it and tripped! I had heels on and did a really good job at staying up although it took some wobbling! and nobody helped.. they just stood back and laughed. Have you all seen the you tube video of the runway model doing this?

Yeah.. that is pretty much what I looked like, except I didn't fall!! I am sure glad that I gave everyone sitting at the light a good laugh! :) I even managed to rip my new shoes! Dang it! I hope the shoe repair can fix them!! Steph.. I know that you will be rolling on the floor laughing at this point and remember our good ol' college days!! I seem to always find those stupid holes in the road!!
Sunday they blessed Taylee. It was good also. I love watching the priesthood being used and feeling the spirit. She is such a good, cute baby! I helped my grandma get her dress on and get her ready to go. The dress was so big, we lost her in it for a second! She is so cute and I am so happy that they have her in their lives and she has such great parents that love her more than anything!
Tee loved her and thinks he needs a little sister!
Brandon and Greg chattin' in the heat!
Just cute little Taylee
Lately I have been having a really hard time understanding why it is so hard for us to get pregnant!! It is especially so hard with my job to watch people have kids that probably shouldn't and have kids only to get more benefits, etc. It is so hard to understand and you start asking a lot of questions wondering if it will ever be your turn!!! It is really frustrating and I was really close to just giving up, but I decided to ask my wonderful priesthood holder husband, Brandon for a blessing instead. Wow!! What an amazing experience. We both really felt heavenly fathers love for me (and us) and of course, it helps me to understand things a little bit better! I will have some faith and some patience and hang in there! Oh how I love the priesthood and I am so grateful for it and the wonderful blessings and experiences that I have had because of it! Thanks Brandon, I love you!! I really have learned a lot through this situation and am sure I will learn a lot more before it is over, but I am grateful for challenge to strengthen my testimony and increase my faith! I have noticed myself much more calm and not so worried about it and I don't want to hurt every pregnant person in sight anymore!!
This last weekend we watched kids. Wow!! It was so much fun and I am so glad that we are able to spend time with them and have fun, although, there were times that Brandon turned to me and said "do you still want kids?" I said sadly but true "YES, definately!"
Brandon finishes his internship in 2 weeks.. this week and one more!! Hooray! Then the Monday after he finishes I start working in the office to start training on our new program. Our team was chosen to be the pilot team to test the much needed new system for our region! It will only be about 1 month and then I get to come work at home again.
I am ready to die with the heat!! I seriously cannot believe how hot it is. After my workout today, I told Brandon that I am going have to get up at like 5:oo a.m. to get my workout in before the heat! I guess it could be worse! :) I hope that everyone is surviving the heat and wish everyone a safe and fun 4th of July!!

Health-wise, maybe have them look at Insulin Resistance. Your problem sounds SO similar to my roommate's problem, and she's got insulin resistance. Maybe you do too?
Love you Bridgie~
Bridget, I had no idea what was going on - with trying to get pregnant. I am so sorry. That has to be hard. I see all of our friends having more kids (which is great) but I get upset too thinking, "stupid, dumb, happy families!!!" Remember that I love you, I will keep you guys in my prayers!
Taylee is adorable. I couldn't figure out who that little girl was for a second. She is so beautiful. I am so happy for them.
Sounds like you have been busy too.
I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. I know that if you have faith and pray things will work out for some reason you are given this trial, and I know there is something that you are suppost to learn from this. I hope you get every thing figured out soon. Hang in there everything will work out!
Thanks for sharing Bridget - I know your strength will help so many people who read your blog. It sounds like you already have become so much stronger of a person because of this. Good luck with everything - you'll be an awesome mom!
You are brave to talk about that. I can't! My worst thing, is going to the blogs and always seeing the spinning baby. The baby widget or whatever they call it. I swear everyone is having one! You are going to be such a great mom when it happens! Love ya!
Hi Bridgette! So in reading your post I have to agree with the first comment on here about having your insulin checked! There is a condition that is unfamiluar to alot of people yet it is very very common! It is called polycystic ovary syndrome (also known as PCOS). There is 2 different types of it - one type effects your insulin(which causes weight gain) weight gain is one of the main symptoms and having it makes getting pregnant difficult, but definatley possible if the doc knows that is what you have. I was actually diognosed with it a few years ago! Next time you go to the doc you should ask he/she about it. Just a suggestion! I would be happy to talk to you more about it, and give you more info (that I know.) Good luck though, I know it must be hard. K im done now with my mile long post! :) my eamil is ashleylund@infowest.com if you want to email me!!
bridgie maye!
first of all you are my hero. I love you and you are such a great example to me. Second, I was gong to tell you about that pcos thing too.I was talking to my friend and she said her sister has it and has all the same symptomsas you!!!
Bridge15,
FIrst of all, I love you. You are so awesome and I know that when you are a mom you are going to be so great, because you are the best. Also, I was crying I was laughing so hard and then when I read the comment directed towards me it made me laugh even harder knowing that we are on the same wave length and you knew exactly what I would be thinking! You are great! I am coming in 2 weeks, we need to plan something!
