The Bitterness Inside

It's been three years since the last IFV blog.  We decided to do another round of egg retrieval in the Fall of 2016.  Hubbs was working in Houston, so I stayed with my grandmother for the month and a half of doctor visits leading up to the retrieval and implantation.  There was a significant prescription …

A thoughtful day…

Morning bird song.  It's something you don't hear often in a thick-walled house. I remember, as a child, it was the one thing I enjoyed most about camping trips with my grandparents in their RV. Now living in my own rig, I didn't realize I missed it so much.  It's an amazing feeling waking up …

1 Week In

It's been a full work week for most of y'all. For us, it's been adjustment week. Sunday's drive over was mostly uneventful. Hubbs pulled the rig and I followed behind. I'm a much more agressive driver than he is, so the moment his blinker went on for a lane change I would dive over into …

The changes we’ve been waiting for

I shared with y'all, back in the first or second post, that Hubbs' job takes him far from home all the time. From the first day we met we've lived a long distance relationship, only together in between jobs. It's about to all change. Hubbs and I have day dreamed about retirement, as most people …

Traveling Stevens – DragonCon #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7

As I think I mentioned before, Hubbs and I work DragonCon. We work on the Walk of Fame floor. This means we work from open to close, and then some, every day of the convention. I was so busy and so tired that I wasn't able to do a post for each day. Thursday isn't …

Traveling Stevens – DragonCon 2015 #2

Atlanta loves us! We bring in a ton revenue for the city in this one weekend.  The convention itself is settled inside the Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, AmericaMart, Sheraton, and Westin. Then we spread to all the surrounding hotels for lodging.  The Marta (subway) has a stop one block over from the Hyatt and funnels in …

Traveling Stevens – DragonCon 2015 #1

Way back on one of the first blog posts called "The Backstory," I mentioned that Hubbs and I are big geeks, nerds, Whovians, Brown Coats, Trekkies, Gamers, Ringers, Potterheads, and Star Wars fans.  Today we set out for our biggest nerd event of the year. DRAGONCON! DragonCon is one of the largest multi media conventions …

Traveling Stevens -Michigan Trip #14 and #15 – The Voyage Home

We've been home for several days now, but my brain has been "mostly dead" for a week.  This was a long and fun trip, but having the last few days to relax and recouperate have been necessary. We caught one more state, Missouri, on our way south to stop in Memphis for the night.  As …

Traveling Stevens – Michigan Trip #13

Im so tired.   It's a good thing I'm not driving.  Zzzzz... Today started with people dropping off various things to take to the new husband and wife.  And of course as we are trying to find their hotel the skies open and pour down their own version of Niagara. We say our final good …
