Intro!

Hey everyone! I am a looong time lurker (so I have read the newbie blog!), and am finally ready to start posting and building relationships here! I have learned so much from this site and from all of you. I have laughed and mourned silently with you ladies and I am happy to be able to join in now. I am 27 as is DH. He is a staff sergeant in the Marine Corps and I work part-time now as a receptionist at a local church. We have had one helluva journey on our way to becoming parents. Today my friend gave me her copy of TCOYF so I will be up reading tonight I am sure 
) I'll try to give a quickie intro and then if I am unclear or you if you have any questions...please ask! )
) I'll try to give a quickie intro and then if I am unclear or you if you have any questions...please ask! )DH and I met in high school but did not start dating until I had graduated from college and he had returned from his first deployment. We dated for two years and were married in April 2011. We planned to wait a year before TTC. In the fall of 2011 we decided to go ahead and start trying. Since then I have had two pregnancies and two miscarriages. It was (and still is) heartbreaking. I was quickly benched in the winter of 2012 when I was hospitalized with pneumonia. A very long and convoluted story short, between the years 2012 and 2014 I was diagnosed with CVID (Common Variable Immune Deficiency) and then adult onset epilepsy. Finally I have gotten to a place health wise where it looks like my medications and treatments are all working!! I'm off the bench! Woo hoo!! We are now officially TTC and I couldn't be more excited (or more terrified!).
A few fun things: I played soccer in college, love to read (huge LOTR, Harry Potter nerd), and am the only girl out of 5 sibling 
. We have one furbaby, a rescue puppy named Belle (because Beauty and the Beast is the best movie ever, duh!) DH played basketball in college and is a big computer gamer ) We are total opposites in all things except sports-WAR EAGLE!!

Thanks for taking the time to read.
