Where does it go?

Where does time go? I remember high school weeks taking FOREVER. Now weeks fly by and suddenly it's April. I mean come on! :)

Our NY trip was great. It was fun to wear coats and scarves. We walked everywhere which was actually really fun. By the third day we had the whole "walking like a new yorker" thing down, so we got places pretty fast. My flight back was also really good. So now I can travel. Good stuff.

My birthday is this Saturday (not an april fools joke). I'll be 27 years old. I'm about 95% okay with entering into my late 20's. :) I'm getting a massage tomorrow and am thinking for working a half day on Friday and going to get a manicure and pedicure.

Work is going well. We just had the Radiant Magazine release party which I was in charge of. It went really well. It was at a cool venue in downtown and Leigh Nash performed. She was awesome! I can't wait for her CD to come out in August.

Last Thursday I had my HSG (i think that's what it is called) at the fertility doctors office and found out that both of my fallopian tubes are blocked. Thankfully they can be unblocked with surgery. The surgery will be in late April. Once that is done I'll go on Clomid and THEN WE'LL GET PREGNANT!!!! So we are praying that we will conceive sometime this year! I'll keep everyone updated.

Besides that, I'm trying to work out more. Last night Tia and I worked out for almost 2 hours. Now we just have to do that more than once a week!

Okay. I'm gonna go. I'm posting on my lunch break and need to finish eating.

Talk to you all soon!

NYC

hey! i just wanted to let you know that our new york trip is going really well. the flight up here was GREAT and i have felt totally fine while we've been here. it is weird. i keep thinking i'm going to start to get stomach problems, but i haven't. it's like i feel like a normal person. my body is functioning like it use to. it's an awesome feeling!

God is so amazing. He is more than amazing. He is so faithful! I kept reading James 1:1 while coming here. It is about how we need to be joyful during our trials. How we go through these trials so that we can help others (or something like that. i don't have my bible in front of me right now.) So that is me. I will be joyful through whatever trials come my way. Kristy once told me that when she got a migraine she would start to praise the Lord even though she was in pain. That just stuck with me and then I read that verse. It's all starting to come together and make sense to me now. :)

Anyway, we've been VERY busy since we've been here. We've seen a musical and a play. Gone shopping in time square and soho. Walked all over the place today. Tried to get into the taping of the colbert report, but couldn't get in. Went to the MoMA and saw Sting walking around. Tomorrow we are going to the st. patricks day parade, tour nbc studios, watch oru play in the ncaa tournment (we'll watch at the espn zone) and then we are going to a knicks game tomorrow night. so i think i'd better wind down and get some sleep.

thank you so much for your prayers. i appreciate them so much.

God is Great!

talk to you soon...maya

hopeful

we had our open house parties / camerons 30th birthday party this weekend. one on saturday for friends and one on sunday for family. they were both really fun.

we leave for new york on tuesday afternoon. please pray for me. i am actually feeling okay about the flight right now. i've been praying for gods peace to wash over me. i really feel like it has. i know the enemy will try to attack, but my god is faithful and strong. i was telling kristy that when i land in new york i am going to feel like i've conqured the world. it will be a fear i have had for a year and a half that will have been defeated. i'm really excited!

for the past 23 months every time i start my period i get a little depressed for a few days. i started this weekend and i can honestly say that i am not sad. i am actually excited because now i can schedule my appointment to see if my tube are open and we can also do camerons test. if all that comes back and working correctly then we'll start on clomid. so i am giving praise for not being sad right now and rather that i am hopeful for the future. for what god has promised us.

k. i'm going to go veg on the couch. i think i'll take pictures of the house first since it's clean. :) i'll try to upload soon.

i hope everyone has a wonderful week. one filled with amazing blessing!

love you all!

spiritual battle is going on

(i just read kristy's blog from a few days ago and it is stiring something inside me.)

i hate the enemy. so much so that i want to cuss. AHHHHHHHH.

i am going on a plane in one week. last time i got on a plane it changed my life. all who are reading this know what happened and how it has affected my life since then.

because of this the enemy is starting to put doubt in my mind again. i HAVE been set free from this. i know i have.

i feel this battle over me. i can't even explain what it all is. i just feel it. my dreams have been crazy. three nights in a row now.

God has already won!

please pray for me. this next week will be a tough one for me.

thank you for being my friends. i really appreciate your love and support.
