genesis 1

i really should have started this blog a very long time ago, but it always seemed like it was already too late. Well, tonight's the night.

My name is fred, and i'm 33 years old. i've known my husband alan since we were 5 years old. When we started Kindergarten, we lived 4 houses apart and our brothers were best friends. So when my mom stayed home and his mom went back to work, and alan hated after school daycare with a passion, our moms worked out an agreement for alan to come stay with us after school until his brother lance got home from band practice in the afternoons. We were best friends for 4 more years, when my family moved from knoxville, tn to nashville, tn, and we lost track. Twenty years later, he wondered how his old friend was and hunted up my email address somehow on the internet and wrote me out of the blue. At the time, i was separated from my ex-husband, and he had a girlfriend, but over time we became good friends again, and fell in love and got married.

Our wedding was November 11, 2006. This is where our adventure really began, because within a couple of months i was off birth control and we began to start our family synthesis adventure. We tried to conceive for over a year when i experienced a terrible cyst (i've had these before as part of Stage IV endometriosis).

More later (guess i'd better leave you feeling suspenseful). Plus, Monk is on, and i can't get enough Monk!
