Can't believe it's already November! This year has gone by so fast. The holidays are just around the corner and it'll be 2011 before we know it. Wow!
We move on base this Friday. So stinkin excited and ready. We've been looking around at paint colors cause that's the first thing we want to do. I despise white walls! It makes me feel like I'm in a hospital. Lol. I'm also ready to start decorating and making it home..I'm sure we'll be there for the next few years and that's just fine with me. :)
We're having a house warming party on Dec. 5th, that'll be fun to have all our friends over. I haven't seen them in awhile because I've been working so much.
So, in my last post I said my doctor was going to refer me to the gyn to figure out why I'm not getting pregnant but the gyn wants my doctor to do more tests on me first before I can see them.
So, I got some blood tests done last month. Not sure exactly what they were for but my doctor wanted me to get them and they all came back normal. I just need to get one more test done which is an HSG test but that has to wait until next month since it's to late to do it this month. :(
And then hopefully either they can figure out what's wrong or they can finally send me to the gyn.
I've been looking in to fertilAid supplements but I'm not sure if I should wait until all these tests are done to make sure it's not something more serious.
I just need to have more faith in God that he will take care of all this but some times it's really hard on me and it just feels like it's never going to happen. It'll happen though, I have faith in him.
I just wanted to share a song that I love! It's really been helping during this time and reminding me to have faith and believe that joy is coming!
Anyway, enough about all that. Jeremy and I are going down to So. Ca to see our family for Thanksgiving. I can't wait! I've really missed home and my family.
My sister Carla from Arizona and her hubby and kids will be there too. I can't wait to see them. I've missed them so much. My sis is one of my best friends, I can talk to her about anything. I've really missed living just down the street from her. But at least now I have my other sister Kristy just an hour away. :)
I'm still loving my job and thanking God everyday for giving it to me because it's really helped us. We we're able to get a second car, pay off bills and save money. I can't believe I'll have been working there 6 months in Dec...time sure flies!
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas and remember what that day is truly about. :)

Update on the Gillams...
Hey everyone! I feel like I'm always saying this but it's been awhile since I've written on here but it's true...I'm a slacker when it comes to blogging. Haha!
So, since the last time I wrote on here I've gotten a job at the Child Development Center on base. I'm loving it! I've always loved working with kids so this is just the right job for me. God really blessed us by giving me this job. We had been praying for a few months for me to get a job and then I got a call for this one! It makes great money and I'm good at it! :) Now we just need to move on base. It's hard only having one car and trying to work out ways to get us both to work. It will be much easier when we live on base which will hopefully be in November when our lease is up, that is if they have any houses available.
Well, we're still trying to get pregnant. It's been a rough 9 months or so but we know that God will give us a baby in his time. I saw my regular doctor the other day for a routine yearly 'check up' and she's referring me to the gyn..so they are supposed to be calling me in the next 2 weeks or so to set up an appt. just to make sure we are both healthy and have no problems getting pregnant. We have both been eating healthier and exercising often. I think a lot of it has to do with stress, I want to get pregnant so bad that I think it's getting to me. People tell me to just stop trying and it will happen but that's easier said then done. I'm just ready to see the gyn and get things moving!
One of my close friends just found out she's pregnant and she didn't find out until she was already 10 weeks! Holy moly! She hasn't had ANY symptoms other then being a little tired during the day. I hope I'm like that!! It was a little hard for me when I found out because they weren't trying for a baby and they weren't even planning on kids for a few more years. They both just turned 21 and they've only been married for a year. But I'm so happy for them! They will be great parents. I also went to two other friends baby showers in the last 2 weeks. They are both due I believe around Oct. 14th. I can't wait! One is having a girl and one is having a boy..so exciting! Babies everywhere!! LOL
In other news...My 22 birthday is in about 2 weeks! I'm excited because I have a 4 day weekend right before my birthday because of Labor day but then of course my b-day is on Tuesday so I have to work that day...boo! That's okay though, I'll have those 4 days to celebrate...just wish Jeremy had them off too. The only day he has off of those days is Saturday. :/ But I heard some of my friends might be planning something for me..so that's exciting!
A lot of exciting things happening in the next few months. My birthday, our 3 year wedding anniversary and 6 year "together" anniversary both in October and then we'll be moving on base in November and his 24th b-day is in Nov as well.
Hopefully I'll write again soon and not wait like 3 months. Haha!

To long...
I haven't written on here in awhile. Haven't really had much to blog about but I thought since Jeremy's at work and I'm bored at home I would write a little something. :)
So, yesterday I had an interview at the CDC (Child development center) on base and it went great! I feel really good about it. My last interview with the other CDC on base didn't go so well because it was a group interview of about 6 of us and I just felt very uncomfortable (hence the reason why I didn't get the job..lol). The interview yesterday was just one on one and the lady was very nice and made me feel comfortable so I have a good feeling about this one. I love working with kids, I would love to be a teacher some day so I'm really hoping I get this job.
I also just got a phone call from the dollar tree today which I applied at a few month ago and I have an interview for that on Thursday. It's nothing special but it'll bring in income so I wouldn't mind working there, although I would really like to work at the CDC which also pays significantly higher than the Dollar Tree.
We'll see in the next week or so what happens though! :)
On to another topic...
Jeremy and I have been trying for a baby now for about 6 months. It's getting pretty tough on me, especially seeing other women getting pregnant. I have over 20 friends on my Facebook that are either pregnant or just had a baby. I'm so happy for all of them but of course a little part of me is jealous. :/ As much as I try not to be. I pray about it all the time and I try to keep reminding myself that God will give us a baby in his time but of course it's still hard.
It's probably for the best right now anyway because I really need to get a job right now and finish paying off some of our debt and save a lot more before we have a baby and besides I'm still young, I'm only 21. We still have plenty of time. And I'd rather live comfortably, I really don't want to be living pay check to pay check with a little one.
I also tried to make a doctors appointment the other day to get checked out and make sure everything is okay but I left a message and they never called me back (that's military doctors for ya) so I'll give them a call again tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm excited to start working again! It's been about a year and a half. I'm tired of sitting around doing nothing and I want to help make money until we have a baby.
Okay, well that was my little ramble blog post for today. :) I really need to try and update this thing more! =]
I hope all my bloggy friends are doing well!

California Sunshine.
Today was a gorgeous day!! It was beautiful out and 70 degrees. I'm so ready for spring/summer. My favorite time of year. I can't wait to go to lay out by the pool and swim. And I'm also looking forward to trips to the beach. I think it's a little farther to the beach here then it was when we lived in So. CA. Oh well, at least we have a pool at our apartment complex.
I also really want to take a trip with Jeremy to Bodega Bay this summer. It's on the Sonoma Coast. Only about an hour and 45 mins from where we live.
Doesn't that look beautiful!?
Gah! There is so much I want to do this summer! I would also love to take a ride in a Hot Air Balloon over Napa Valley. But shh don't tell anyone, Jeremy's kind of afraid of heights. :( So, I don't know if he would go.
So gorgeous!!
I'm so ready for beautiful skies and sunshine. I'm done with all the rain and coldness.
Bring on the summer....
:-)

1 year!
One year ago today I had to say goodbye to Jeremy for 8 1/2 weeks. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do but it's so worth it now. Jeremy has been in the Air Force for one year today. I love him so much and I'm so very proud of him.
We've had our ups and downs this last year but it's been all around a great year.
Some things I love about being an AF wife:
I got to enjoy the summer in Mississippi while he was there for tech school.
I have made so many AF wife friends from all over the world.
It's not far from home but we moved to Northern California.
Made some best friends here at Travis AFB that I'll never forget.
I'm closer to my sister Kristy and her family, so I get to see my awesome niece and nephews more often! :)
I knew this military life wouldn't be easy but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm so happy with where we are today and I'm so grateful for this life God has given me.
I want to thank all my wonderful AF wife friends who have been with me through all the ups and downs of this past year. I'm so thankful for each and every one of you! And I love you!
Happy 1 year in the AF baby! I love you! :)
