"
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually."

Disappointed

So, Jason and I are officially trying for a baby. We started trying earlier in the month, and thanks to good ol' Catholic education, I knew when I was ovulating so we were really hopeful. I didn't drink alcohol or caffeine this whole month (even in Mexico) and really have been watching my fish intake. This was sad because I really wanted to drink and eat fish during our all-inclusive vacation, but obviously I couldn't risk it if I was pregnant. Well, on Monday I started my period. Majorly. I haven't had a period this bad since before I started birth control before the wedding. I stayed in bed all Sunday, had to get it together to work Monday, and stayed in bed all yesterday as well. I would try to get up to be productive as I had a huge laundry list of things to do, but would be up for a bit and just have to lie back down because of the cramps and exhaustion. Yikes.

Anyway, we are going to try an ovulation kit this time around, so hopefully September will be our month! Keep y'all updated. Even though I am pretty sure no one reads this :)

Pawsitively Pitbull Event

The Pitbull rescue group Jason and I volunteer with, Pawsitively Pitbull is hosting a fundraiser at the downtown Wild Oats today. We have prior commitments, but here is the information we got in an email if anyone wants to go!


Please come down to WILD OATS on 28th and E. Burnside for a BBQ to benefit the pit bulls!
WILD OATS has generously donated tons of grub for us to grill up and serve to you. 5 bucks gets you a hot dog and a drink, and we will even have vegan hot dogs too! We will be there with all sorts of information and handouts on combating BSL, myths and facts about pit bulls, photo albums, books, and even some real live dogs to shower with affection. Come meet and socialize with other pit bull supporters and dog rescue advocates.

We will be there from 2pm until 6pm this Saturday August 15th.

The address is:
WILD OATS
2825 E. Burnside St
Portland, Oregon

Thanks all!
