Buford Betty: Vera Bradley at Rue La La

Vera Bradley at Rue La La - Run, don't walk!

The Vera Bradley boutique just opened minutes ago at Rue La La. If you haven't discovered this site yet, it's awesome! They have designer-specific "boutiques" that they open for about 2-3 days with very discounted prices. They had a Kate Spade one a few weeks ago and I got some $180 sunglasses for $60 and I LOVE them! The VB items on this sale are mostly the retiring patterns, but they are way more discounted than in stores. Most things are at least 50% off. Stuff goes fast so hurry up and register and get on if you need some new VB! But Vera fan or not, get on because they have had some great boutiques in the past. Just some off the top of my head... Juicy Couture, Gucci, Fendi, Kate Spade, and Prada!

This fab site grants access by invite only, so to register, you do have to "know someone" as they say... so if you want in, leave your email address and I'll send you an invite.

Happy Shopping!

The Skinny

I grew up (and still live) in Atlanta suburbia.
I'm a Georgia Bulldog! I met my husband at UGA in Geology 110 and the rest is history.
I'm a CPA, working as a tax professional at a local firm. But I'm also very creative and artistic. I use both sides of my brain.
I'm a Christian and I like to talk about God stuff.
My husband and I are smack dab in the middle of working our way out of debt. We drive old cars and brown bag it.
I'm a huge Dave Ramsey fan, so if you don't like him, I'll probably annoy you.
I love to talk about money and I love helping people with money problems. I'm working towards becoming a personal financial counselor/mentor through our church.
We have two dogs, Belly - an 11yr old border collie mix, and Gertie - a 6yr old lab/pit mix. They're our little loves!
We are members of Buckhead Church and volunteer as 2-to-1 mentors (the church's premarital program).
My husband and I started TTC our first child in November 2005. After a long battle, we finally gave birth to our son, Samuel Nolen, in January 2012!
I want to write a book on my struggles with infertility. And I talk a lot about our journey on this blog, but in no way do I let my infertility define me. This is not an infertility blog; I just want to be an encouragement to others fighting the good fight!
I absolutely love life and wouldn't trade our journey for the world. The struggles we have faced have made me the person I am today.

Infertility ain't for wimps.

Jan 12 - Samuel Nolen arrived! Now the journey really begins!
May 11 - IVF Cycle #2 (FET) -- BFP!
Apr 11 - Starting Lupron for first FET cycle in May
Jan 11 - Surgery #3 - septum successfully removed! Residual deemed "clinically insignificant."
Dec 10 - Enjoying the holidays while gearing up for a 3rd surgery in January. Planning to do a frozen IVF cycle in May.
Nov 10 - IVF Cycle #1 (+ Moo Goo) - chemical pregnancy
Sep 10 - IUI Cycle #4, on Femara (+ Moo Goo) - BFN
May 10 - Trying acupuncture/herbs/diet for 3-6 months. I call it my Moo Goo plan.
Aug 09 - IUI Cycle #3, on Femara - BFN
Jul 09 - IUI Cycle #2, on Clomid - BFN
May 09 - IUI Cycle #1, on Clomid - chemical pregnancy
July 08 - Decided to cool our heels for a while on TTC. Not preventing anything, but not quite ready to move forward.
May 08 - My OB/GYN recommended acupuncture. Definitely going to try this in conjunction with IUI/IVF when we're ready.
Apr 08 - Still on doctor hiatus and TTC on our own. Trying to figure out which cycle we'll start our first IUI on... prob May or June.
Jan 08 - For many reasons, we decided to wait on IUI and try on our own for a few months. On Clomid for this cycle...
Dec 07 - The hub's boys are a bit low volume-wise, so RE wants to move forward with IUI.
Nov 07 - RE set out a plan for us: Try on our own for 3 mos, then move to Clomid and IUI for 3 mos. If no luck, we move to IVF.
Oct 07 - Had a follow-up HSG, which showed there is still a small, residual septum (so not quite all of it was removed).
Sep 07 - Surgery #2 - Septum is successfully removed. Minimal traces of endo. were found and removed.
Aug 07 - Depot shot #2. And the hot flashes insued...
Jul 07 - RE started me on Depot Lupron shots for the purpose of softening the uterine tissue for surgery #2 (although the shots are typically given to treat endo.)
Jun 07 - Surgery #1 - Stage III endometriosis discovered and removed, ovarian cyst removed; "weak area" discovered on my uterine wall - septum couldn't be safely removed
May 07 - more and more bloodwork, a renal ultrasound (to make sure I have two kidneys - and yay, I do); surgery is scheduled
Apr 07 - We meet with the fertility specialist (RE) for the first time
Mar 07 - MRI confirms that I have a septate uterus
Feb 07 - HSG shows uterine abnormality
Feb 07 - My progesterone levels are reportedly low, I start taking supplements; the hub has his boys tested and they look fine
Jan 07 - start initial infertility testing with my OB/GYN
Nov 05 - Dec 06 - TTC with no luck
Nov 05 - off BC
Nov 02 - The hub and I get married!
