Hello again!

Wow, okay so my last post was from 2009. HOLY MOLEY! Where do I even begin? Lets update on the highlights shall we?



Mike and I were sealed in the Mesa, AZ temple in November 2010 after 5 years of marriage. It was such a special day and we were happy to share it with our family and friends. We have so much love and gratitude to those who never lost hope in us returning to the church. I couldnt picture my life without the Gospel in it.

Can I just say, I love this husband of mine?



I have thought a lot about whether or not I was going to share this next part just because it is a personal part of my life. However, I think it is important to talk about because SO many women struggle with it. In 2009 I was diagnosed with a lovely thing called endometriosis as well as having PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Basically it all sums up to pregnancy being a really tough thing to achieve. I tried to struggle with it alone for the first year or so and finally started to open up. It's amazing to me how many of my friends and family have also struggled with infertility. I want to give a big fat thank you to those special women who were there for me during those extra tough times. I have come to learn that infertility does not define me, it has molded me into the woman I am today.




After being referred to a great fertility dr, we are finally expecting! Baby Ploeger is due on May 26th, 2012 and we couldnt be more thrilled.

So those are the most important things to share. If I tried to update everything it would take way too long. We are looking forward to this coming year with the new addition to our family!


Much Love.

So I got a facebook and have completely neglected my little blog! I hope everyones doing well! Nothing too exciting with us. 2009 has been a crazy year though.. seems like a lot of medical stuff has been makin the rounds in my family. But I think the worst of its over now. I'm still working front office at a dental office and I love it. My job is awesome! Mike is stil at Hunter Contracting and is keeping so busy. He has a lot of jobs out in Peoria which keeps him very very busy and makes for long work days. But I'm so excited and proud of him.. i get to go to the grand opening of the park he's been working so hard on for the past year next month. I love him so so much.. he is my rock and everything else amazing. for real! This past month I have been struggling with a few things, but when one door closes another opens. I have been graced with feeling such an amazing comfort from the Lord and am so excited to start going back to church. I don't know how I've survived the past 3 years without the gospel in my life. So kudos to us! Our next big goal is getting sealed in the temple. So if anyone even reads my posts anymore.. HELLO! And I hope your lives are going good!!

so long!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Lifes been craaazy! I will post updates soon :o) Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dads Birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! I love my dad, he has such a huge heart and he would always be there for any of his children. He's truley a good man. One of my favorite childhood memories of my dad was him playing his guitar to us. My favorite song that I would always ask him to play and sing was "Puff the Magic Dragon." I went over to his house a while ago and he played it for me.. I was so excited! I love you Dad :o)

"The Big Taboo"

This past weekend we had game night with my Sister and Brother in law (Mikes big sis Tasha) and her hubby Jason. We wanted a new game just for a change so we went to Barnes and Noble and ended up purchasing "The Big Taboo". Its like Taboo on steroids and it was pretty fun. They use this purple sesame street looking character whom they referr to as "Bendy Bob" And you have to mime the word on your card with him and try to get your teamate to guess what your miming with this flimsy little stuffed animal such as "begging for groceries" what the heck! Who is going to be able to pull that one off. A LOT harder than it seems. We had a blast though. Mike and I were defeated by Jason and Tasha.. grrrr. But it was so fun to play. And then Jason put on a little "Bendy Bob Theatre" after we were through. We sound really weird but it was hillarious.. especially when it was super late and we were all delerious!

Hike on South Mountain

One of the things that Mike and I both really love to do is to hike. Arizona has such beautiful places to hike and its great to get outdoors in the nice weather we've been having. We went two weekends ago and it was a lot of fun. Definetely a work out. And the best part is that we got my Mom to come along with us! We kind of went onto a different trail that we thought was an easy one, but i think it was a little more advanced..oops for Mom. But She was a trooper let me tell you! We were impressed!
