So, the other day I posted about my bookshelves.

Well, Rob commented on that post asking if I was going to show you his bookshelf.  So, of course I'll going to show you!

Keep in mind though that he's missing a few. Some books that he loaned to a friend. And a few bigger books that I have on my bookshelf. Also, the book that he's currently reading.

He's amassed quite a collection compared to the books he had when we originally started dating.  Which I think was zero. ;)

Below his books are more of my books that I didn't post about. I currently have to use our closet shelves for some of my books because I'm seriously running out of room!  We need a bigger place for just my books!

Well lately my life hasn't consisted of much.

A lot of these:

From an intense Goodwill shopping spree. I love 50% off day!

and lots of time with these two:

Grayson -- 2 years

Noah born June 23rd

and lots of cuddles from them:

Root Beer

Root Beer and Kenai

 and I can't forget about him:

Rob getting some Grayson cuddles when we babysat.

What's your life consisted of recently?

I can't believe it's been 2 years.  It feels like just yesterday that we got married but it feel like I've been with him forever.  It's a wonderful feeling.

We've had a wonderful day.

We woke up and juiced.  We've been slacking the last few days.  We did a shot of juice with wheat grass.  It's quite disgusting.  It tastes like dirt and hay.  Yuck!  When we came upstairs there was a card hidden under my laptop from Rob, which is super adorable because he's not much of a card guy.  And of course I had a card for him hidden behind my back.

Then we got ready to head out for the day.  First, we went to Castles N' Coasters for some arcade game fun!  We spent a few hours there using up the game credits we've had since the last time we went about a year ago.

We left there around 1pm to hit up the food court at the mall across the street for a little lunch.  Afterward we went over to the movie theater to see Sucker Punch, which we both enjoyed.  (I might do a small review on the movie.)

Rob and I weren't quite ready for dinner yet since the movie only ended at 4pm.  So Rob drove us over to Barnes & Noble for some looking around since I've had a gift card there since Christmas time.  I found a book of 1000 Pin-Up Girls that I decided I needed since I'd really like to get another pin-up girl tattoo someday.

It turned out that Rob made arrangements for dinner already.  He'd made a reservation for us at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen.  Neither of us had ever been there before.  It was alright, but seeing as how I'm not a fan of seafood I didn't have very many options.  I ended up ordering the filet mignon which I didn't particularly like, but the garlic mashed potatoes were delicious and I got to try asparagus for the first time too!

My new book. My anniversary drink; Swampthing. My anniversary dinner.

At dinner Rob admitted that he bought me something for our anniversary; an Arizona shot glass.  (I collect shot glasses from where ever I visit.  My family has definitely helped add to the collection, as well.)  Recently we've discussed moving states so he told me I needed a shot glass from Arizona.  I thought it was a really great idea.

After dinner we came back home and watched Kick-Ass.  I don't think I'd ever watch it again and it wasn't that funny, which was disappointing.

Now we're just relaxing.  It's been quite a busy day for us.  I hope everyone else had a wonderful day as well!  And have a fantastic Friday! :)

I am tired.  I have a headache.  And I'm just waiting for this day to end.

Hubs is still in training.  Thursday is his last day, then on Friday he starts his regular shift.  Which is random.  You would think they would wait until Monday for that.  Doesn't bother me though, that means he will finally start coming home before 10pm.

I will leave you with some cuteness.  My adorable nephew wearing the Batman shirt that I bought for him.

First, Happy December!

Second, I am happy to announce that my SIL is pregnant!  She is 11 weeks today.  I am going to be an aunt... again! :)

He looks totally different now.

My new niece or nephew.

Also, today is Hubs first day of his new job.  For the next week and a half he will be in training, then he goes to his regular shift.  It's definitely going to be different then what we are used to now.

Christmas is coming soon and that is insane.  This year has flown by!

I should probably get back to work now.  I'm still behind on stuff from last week. :(

On Friday I had an appointment with a new OB, Dr. Hope.  Some of you may have seen me freaking out on Twitter on Friday.  I've never been good at doctor's appointments.  Especially the ones where I have to take off all of my clothes.

Anyways, the appointment went really well.  I felt very comfortable and confident with Dr. Hope.  We went over our TTC history and a little family history.  Sadly, my mother hasn't been very open regarding her TTC history.  I just know it took them three years to get pregnant with my brother then another seven to get pregnant with me.  She also had an ectopic pregnancy in between.

I told him about the positive OPK that I got relatively early this month.  He thinks because of that that I might have a bit of a hormone issue.  Which he said would be quite simple to regulate with the right medications.

He was very open to putting me on meds right away as I'm very adamant about getting pregnant.  But he also suggested OPKing and having timed BD for another month or two, which is the route we've decided to go.  That way we know we are hitting the days right and his spermies are being saved up for the right time.  Then if that doesn't work then we will try medicine.  Before that though Hubs is going to get an SA, we just need to figure out where.

There is still the chance that I am pregnant now though.  I'm still keeping hope.  As of right now I am CD 28 and it's been 15 days since I got my + OPK.  I'm not positive what day I actually ovulated on.  So keep your fingers crossed!

Some of you have wondered how Hubs, real name Rob, and I met.  I'm finally getting around to tell you that story.  This probably should have been one of the first things I posted about.  OOPS!  Oh well, better late than never...

Rob found me on MySpace through a mutual friend of ours.  He would tell you we met through AIM since that's where our first contact was.  He saw my screen name on my profile and saw that it was the same style as his (just our names, example: kaitlinlastname) and he also later admitted he thought I was hot, so he instant messaged me.

When he first instant messaged me I was confused and not interested.  I soon found out he had a girlfriend which was a turn off.  I'm not sure how it happened but we just continued talking to each other on AIM.

We talked all day, everyday.  We both had the Sidekick 3 so it was easy for us to talk all the time.  We had AIM at our fingertips.

A few months after we started talking, I started dating a guy I liked that just came home from being station in Virginia for the Marines.  We dated for a few months and during that time I can't remember ever talking to Rob.  I was distracted with the Marine.

The Marine eventually dumped me.  I don't know why, but I'm thankful.  He was a complete douche anyways.  Soon after Rob started talking to me again on AIM.  And it turned out he was newly single too.

We went back to talking as frequently as we had before, maybe more.  I remember waking up talking to him and falling asleep talking to him.  I talked to him at work, at the movies, hanging out with friends.  I know people were annoyed with me being on the phone chatting with him all the time, but I was slowing falling in love with him.  He listened.  He made me laugh.  He made me smile.  I could tell he cared.  Even if we were just chatting.

One night we had this conversation (this is the original conversation thanks to Rob saving it from AIM from his Sidekick):

Rob: Hey, I'm gonna ask you a question, cos I'm drunk, I wouldn't. But I'm drunk. Okay with that?
Me: okay?
Rob: You know I like you, right?
Rob: Just an e crush though :]
Me: uhm. do now, apparently.
Rob: That and I'm drunk. So yeah. ..disregard
Me: oh?
Rob: Well not to drink, but, enough.
Rob: To tell you that lol
Me: was that the question?
Me: oh. haha. feelings are reciprocated.

After this conversation a stronger relationship blossomed.

About two weeks later Rob asked me on a date, July 7th 2007.  I accepted.  He picked me up at my parents house (which is the first time and place we ever met), came in to say hello to my parents and off we went.  We went to the movies to see Transformers.

I remember being nervous and I know he was too.  I can't remember what we talked about, but it was a fun night.  I remember him putting his hand on my knee for a second and I know he was so scared to even touch me.  After the movie he dropped me off at home, gave me a hug goodnight and left.  And soon after we started talking on AIM, saying all the things we were too nervous to say in person.  It was a wonderful night and the start of our relationship. <3

At a Christmas party for my work, our first together. 2007

Hubs and I got married in La Jolla, CA on April 7, 2009.

We only had imediate family there.

My mom, dad, brother and sister in law. His mom, dad and sister.

As well as the maid of honor and best man.

We technically eloped, but we still treated it like a regular ceremony.  Hubs and I didn't see eachother until I walked down the "aisle".

Our ceremony was quick and afterwards the marriage license was signed and we took some family photos and then photos with just the two of us.

After all the photos we went to a restaurant near our hotel called The Spot. It was great and simple. Exactly what I wanted.

Lately I've just been doing meme's.  I just don't feel like I have much to actually write about.  I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, read or watch television, and sleep.  Then I wake up and do it all over again.  No one wants to hear about that boring stuff.

Hubs is still looking for a job.  He currently temporarily employed by my work.  He's been helping us pack and move.  This weekend my office was moved from the 18th and 19th floors to the newly renovated 14th and 15th floors.  That's probably the most exciting thing going on in my life.  It's been wonderful going to work with Hubs and seeing him around the office.

He hasn't heard from anyone he's emailed.  But we recently asked my boss, a very high up attorney, if he could pass Hubs resume along to some people and he did.  Which is great, so we're hoping to get a hit off of that.

Hubs and I were going to go into the office today to get my desk set up and help other people.  But when we got up I checked my work emails and found out we couldn't go down there until after 2:00 pm, which just seemed like a waste.

So, instead we went to the movies.  We saw Grown Ups.

Grown Ups was hilarious.  It's been a long time since we went to the movies to see a funny movie.  I love Kevin James and Adam Sandler.  It was great to see Chris Rock in something other than stand up and his character was unlike anything I've ever seen him do, which was great.  Definitely recommend it.

Afterwards, we came home and decided officially not to go into work.  So we got comfy and got into bed to hang out for the rest of the day.

So I took this time to finally add some books to Paperback Swap.  Feel free to add me as a friend.  Or you could even request some books for me.

I'm hoping to get into a habit of writing regularly, but inspiration hasn't been hitting recently.  Do you have any tips on how to keep your writing strong and going day to day?  Some days I don't feel like I'm cut out to do this.  I don't have an exciting life to blog about everyday.  That's why I do meme's.

Where do you find inspiration?

Our first Christmas party for my work. December 2007.

Hubs proposing. January 2009.

Wedding day. April 7, 2009.

Honeymoon. April 2009.

Happy Birthday, my love. <3
I'm so lucky to have you in my life.  I love you with all of my heart.

This is my first time participating in "OH NO HE DIDN'T!" Tuesday.  Mine will be no where near as funny as Kristi's are at Live and Love... Out Loud, the creator of "OH NO HE DIDN'T!" Tuesday.  Go over there and check her out!

And he calls me a klutz!

Last night we were making dinner.  Just some Velveeta Shells & Cheese.  Neither of us were very hungry since we had a snack when I came home from work.

Once I was done boiling the noodles Hubs was going to drain them.

The pot was almost empty.  So to make sure he got all of the water out of the pot, he shook it.  And in doing so he dropped the lid of the pot in the bottom of the sink.  Which caused about half the noodles to fall into the garbage disposal and the other half spread out in the sink.

OH NO HE DIDN'T!

Once that happened, Hubs looks over at me and says, "So, what else do you want for dinner?"  Luckily, I keep lots of pasta on hand.  So we just made a bag of rotini pasta and we used the cheese sauce that comes with the Velveeta Shells & Cheese.

Luckily we didn't have any problems draining the second pot of pasta.

• We went to TGI Friday's on Friday night with Hubs mom, sister, aunt, two cousins, one cousins girlfriend.  One cousin had a baseball game on our side of town earlier.  His aunt bought me a strawberry margarita and Hubs a beer.  (Which is totally unlike her, she doesn't even allow beer in her house during a holiday dinner.)
• Saturday I was supposed to go to a baby shower, but my brother and SIL invited us over for a BBQ/swim party for my nephew the same time the shower was.
• We found out that my SIL is pregnant with their second child via FET.

How adorable is this little guy?

Shh... don't tell my SIL I put this on the internet.

She'd kill me. And I'm not even kidding.

• We went to a roller skating rink on Saturday night with some friend and family, but I was too big of a chicken to actually go out on the rink.  I didn't want to fall on my bum.  Hubs only went around the rink once, so I didn't feel too bad about not going at all.
• Sunday we spent all day at home; just relaxing and hanging out.  My kind of Sunday.  I did have to do a few household duties, those weren't fun though.

This is Root Beer's idea of relaxing on a Sunday.

How was your weekend?  What did you do?

Today marks on years since Hubs and I got married on the gorgeous beach of La Jolla.  That's insane!  It feels like just a few months ago we got back from California.

We spent the whole day together.  I decided to take the day off work; we've decided to make that a tradition.  We woke up around 8:30, got ready and went to breakfast at the U.S. Egg.

Afterwards, we saw The Last Song.  I just finished reading the book, so I wanted to see how the movie compared. The movie is never as good as the book.  [Miley Cirus has an annoying mouth.]

Case and point.

After the movie we went to Castles N' Coasters to play some arcade games.  We had some leftover tokens that we needed to use.  We ended up staying there for awhile; it was pretty fun!

To top everything off we went to dinner at Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant.  Hubs and I even had a chance to have a serious talk; which we've been  putting off for while.

It's been an absolutely lovely day.  I can't wait for many, many more.

I love you, Hubs! <3

On our to Vegas we I stopped to take pictures of the Hoover Dam.

I made Hubs pose for me. :)

This one is my favorite!

*to elarge photo just click on it.

Last night was the second time we went to see the Arizona Roller Derby.  This time was even better.  We actually got to sit and enjoy the bouts.  Last night was also the first full male bout in Arizona.  The men were fun to watch, but not as much fun as the women!

Sadly, I didn't bring my Nikon D80.  I only brought my Canon PowerShot SD1100IS, which does not take very good pictures inside the roller derby.  But I did get a couple videos.

The guy doing the jumps is Quadzilla with the Colorado Big Horns.
He's a bad ass skater; on and off the track!

Hubs and I decided to purchase some shirts this time around.

 I got one to support my team; Brawlarinas!

I love badass broads in tutus! :) (pardon the face)

We also found shirts we liked from a local clothing store.

 My shirt! I love seeing Rosie all tattooed up!

Hubs shirt! His friend that went also got the same one.

We also caught a free shirt during half time!

Last night we had a great time.  I allowed myself to loosen up and be nice to the girl that's going to Vegas.  I don't want to ruin my trip because I'm too stubborn.  Speaking of Vegas!  We are leaving late Tuesday night and Wednesday I will be meeting the lovely Honey B.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. What did you do?

This post is going to be heavy on pictures.  All pictures you can click to enlarge.

Hubs and I finally decided to go hiking; I'd only been bugging him about it for a few months.  We're so happy we finally went.  We felt great afterwards.  I just wonder how sore we are going to be tomorrow; I sure felt the burn a few times.  I'd really like to bring the dogs out there once we work on their leash training.

You see that parking lot way out there?  That's where we parked.

Hubs posed for this photo. He's adorable.

A trail we walked up.

I snapped this one without him knowing. Sneaky.

I figured I should probably post a picture of myself.

Enjoying the wonderful breeze.  And watching other families hike.

Hubs likes to give pictures a weird angle.

That sign says "Trail Closed".

We accidentally walked down it; oops!
