I give up!!!

I have tried and tried and tried to make a monogram. And NO luck! I uploaded the fonts, they were installed but they were not in any of my Microsoft programs. So I tried with the normal fonts and it just doesn't work.

Can Anyone help me???

Or should I just pay for one to be made?? I don't know what to do?? I have no money and am way over budget but I don't know what to do.

Any suggestions??

I just want something simple (Aqua/Tiffany blue & Black) with our first names Mary & Aaron, last initial - D and then our date underneath - July 26, 2009.

Thanks!!
