Happy September ICLW!

Happy Saturday everyone! This will be a short introduction due to the fact that my in-laws are in town this weekend, but I'll try to come up with something more substantial later this week.

Let's see, Keegan and I are both originally from Missouri, but moved to Mississippi in May 2011 for Keegan's job. He's a metallurgical engineer and I'm an art gallery director.

We got married on August 4, 2012 in my hometown in Missouri. Looking back, getting married outside in one of the hottest months of the year was probably a stupid decision, but our wedding was wonderful.

When I say I'm originally from Missouri, that's somewhat of a lie. I was actually born in Canada, but moved to the States when I was young. I'm still a Canadian citizen, and this summer, I was able to show Keegan around my original hometown. You can read more about our vacation here and here. 

I showed him Niagra Falls

How to tube

and he tried to ski. 

Keegan and I also are the proud owners of two cats, 

Mika

and 

Carbon

On the baby makin' front, I was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance on September 4, 2012 after my periods disappeared when I went off birth control in April. January 2013 was our first official cycle trying, and we haven't gotten a BFP yet. I've had an HSG in June which came back clear. I am currently on 2000 mg of Metformin per day, which has helped me lose about 30 pounds in the last year. After 9 cycles of ovulation but no baby, my doctor, Dr. B, has agreed to put me on Clomid for 3 or 4 cycles, after which, if we are not pregnant, he will refer us to an RE and suggest IVF. You can read more about each cycle in my "Our Journey" page above. 

Thanks for stopping by!
