The last item being faxed off today!!!

Many have been asking what’s going on with the progress of The U.S. Customs job for me. I have been calling a company twice a week for the last four months almost trying to have them send a bill for something that the government wants paid off to finish the background check. This last Friday being the second time calling for that week, the lady told me the same as every time before… “Sure we will mail one out today”. I became so mad and told her that she has told me that twice a week for almost four months. So I asked her if she could look at my info on this matter and she said yes. I then asked if she could tell me the dollar amount and she did. Then I asked if there is a reference number to my bill, she then gave me that info. Finally I said if I come in on Tuesday with a money order to pay it off, can I, she said of course, that would be fine. This took me to the boiling point. I then asked why she never told me this, four months ago. She said because I never asked about that option. I said fine I will be in on Tuesday to pay this. MAN!!! So today after work I am heading down there to pay this dumb bill which was due to a dumb roommate that I had way back when. Then tonight I will be faxing off the last document for my background check and with fingers crossed as I say this, I am guessing I should hear something on where I will be stationed before Christmas. So we shall see. Mark

First trip to the Infertility

Well last night was our first appointment with the infertility Doctor. I was a bit worried on what I thought was going to have to happen in this appointment. Lani on the other hand was in the “bring it on, let’s go for it!” mode. This appointment was pretty much giving them our families’ history of health and what if any prescriptions we are taking. Lani had to take a pregnancy test to make sure she was not pregnant, which she was not. I had to give four vials of blood for testing, just to make sure my health is good for making babies. Lani has a few tests she is having done this week, she is very lucky to be able to work in the hospital, it is now so easy for her to go pick up a prescription or go do a blood test. The prescription Lani is thinking she will end up using is the same one the Kate off of the show “John and Kate plus eight” used. So I think there is a good chance we will have our whole family in one shot. So for kicks we should take a poll to see how many kids we will have in one shot. So let us know how many you are thinking, I am going for triplets!!! So we will keep all of you up-to-date on how things are going. We love you all and keep us in your prayers!!! Mark
