For how long? Until Summer 2016
What are you frustrated with? I have a 20 page paper due in two weeks that I haven't started on. I'm having a rough time motivating myself.
What are you grateful for? I had lots of quality family time this weekend, We got to take a mini vacation out of town.
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? I am a book lover. I am a die hard Harry Potter fan so that series will forever and always have my heart. I also love Gone girl, and Dark places. If you like religious type books redeeming love was fantastic.

For how long? at least until summer 2016(if I can wait that long)
What are you frustrated with? My stupid in laws, apparently there was a big fight yesterday between my SIL her fiancé and GrandMIL so now thanksgiving plans are all up in the air. Not to mention GrandMIL is going in for a full hip replacement(my grandpa died earlier this year from the same surgery) next week. It's basically Monday.
What are you grateful for? Leftover chicken and dumplings for dinner(Delish and I managed to cook 1 meal for 2 nights) and my job interview tomorrow!
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? I'm a teenage girl at heart so I love a series I discovered on Amazon called "The Keatyn Chronicles". It's currently my fav but I read a ton so it changes a lot
TTA/TTC? NTNP... basically TTC
For how long? Stopped BCP almost 2 months ago
What are you frustrated with? My body still hasn't done anything.. but I have an appointment with my doctor for next week so I'm excited for that!
What are you grateful for? My husband is taking interest in what's going on and starting to get why I'm frustrated. I don't want to tell family or friends that we're trying and it's nice that he's letting me vent every once in awhile
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? I don't read very much.. and by very much, I mean at all haha. I love the Harry Potter series but that is about my extent of reading. My husband thinks that I'm crazy because I would rather sit down and read a school textbook than a novel. I'm a math person!
For how long? This is the 4th month but 6th cycle
What are you frustrated with? My students who complain that they "don't get it" but don't listen to the answer to THEIR OWN question.
...wait was this supposed to be TTC related? Because today I'm also frustrated with my cycle because I'm unsure of my O date. (I am generally VERY regular. I know, I know.)
What are you grateful for? Grateful that I still love my job. (Moved to a new school in a new county this school year.)
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? I have many because I read a lot. A favorite might be...oh heck there are literally only 3 books I don't like! But Liane Moriarty is a great writer!
For how long? Tba-im hoping until next summer/fall?
What are you frustrated with? Money. And my husband and i being careless with it. it doesnt take long to dig the hole but sheesh does it take a while to get out.
What are you grateful for?my wonderful husband, my puppy, that we have stable jobs and a home.
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? Hmm probably the anne of green gables series-anne has been near to my heart since like 4th grade. Also love the harry potter series!
For how long? This is our 3rd cycle.
Frustrations? Not knowing my O date. We went of Mirena 4 months ago and I have been so irregular since then:(
What are you grateful for? My husband who does not get caught up in all of the TTC talk and just wants to have fun TTC. He makes it easier:)
Favorite book/series: I don't really read books a lot. I am reading a daily marriage devotion called "Love Language Minute"
For how long? Came off BC a year ago and was NPNT but decided to really TTC the past few cycles.
What are you frustrated with? I'm frustrated that my cycles are still out of whack after a year. I also wish I would have temp a lot sooner so I could understand what was going on with my crazy irregular cycles.
What are you grateful for? My health, recently heard about two very young coworkers got diagnosed with Cancer and I can't imagine what that's like or what they're going through.
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? I read a lot, kindle was a great invention for me and has saved me so much money on books. Idk if I can pick just one series because I like several different ones that are totally different from each other. However, my favorite author is Colleen Hoover. I love all her books and I'm currently waiting for her new book November 9 to come out
TTA/TTC? TTA
For how long? Until June 2016
What are you frustrated with? DH has been out of the country on TDY (temporary military duty) for the past three weeks. On a plane run, something was wrong with the pressure, causing his left ear drum to almost rupture. His group is due to start coming home over the weekend, but his ear is still so swollen if he flies it will rupture, so now he has to fly back with the second group - who don't come home until past Thanksgiving. I completely understand the reason why and I'm so glad he has an option that will work better for his health, but I am still just so sad he's not coming home soon.
I feel like I'm being robbed of what time we do have until he deploys in February....
What are you grateful for? I'm grateful that I have family I can visit on the weekends.
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? Like a lot of other ladies on here, I love the Harry Potter series. I am also a big fan of any series by Tamora Pierce!

What are you frustrated with? Waiting. I'm so sick of waiting. We've been in limbo forever. At least I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We're aiming to buy a house in the Spring, then we'll talk about TTC.
What are you grateful for? Brand new job! Starting November 30th. Great step up for my career and more money. Hopefully will help with the waiting game.
GTKY: What is your favorite book/ series? So many.... If I had to choose one it would be The Lord of the Rings. But I also love the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Outlander, most of Shakespeare's plays, and Star Wars novels (although its been a a while and I haven't gotten into anything that was written since high school).
