We Love a Long Weekend!

AAHHHHH!!! The long weekend - there isn't anything better. Well, maybe one thing - SUMMER VACATION! We have 20 more school days until that comes, so we'll relish our long weekend now! We have a HUGE list of outdoor projects that we would like to get completed. I'll be happy if we get through a quarter of them! We have to relax this weekend too.....

In addition to the outdoor projects, we will probably work a bit on either our quilt or scrapbook projects for this month - the first weekend of June is coming up quickly! We are going to a cookout with a couple of teacher friends on Monday as well. Other than that, we are looking forward to just hanging out and spending time together.

In TTC news - I went for my D & C follow up appointment this week and they said that everything looks good and healed well. They put me on three months of birth control and we can try again when I finish the pills. That will be the beginning of August, which is perfect for us as we are working the first two weeks of July and then going to Minnesota for the rest of the month.

That's all from here right now - we'll let you know how much we accomplish this weekend!

Enjoy your long weekend (if you get one)!

A New Day

I am confident that tomorrow will promise to be a new and better day. I have been cooped up in the house and walking around like a zombie for 4 days now. It is time to enjoy life and friends and family even as we grieve our loss.

All went well with the D & C today. My doctor is just incredible and I am so glad we lucked out choosing them. She stood and held my hand and told me how sorry she was as they put me to sleep. I was in and out of the operating room in less than a 1/2 hour. Physically I feel quite well - better than I thought - no pain meds needed - just some A.dvil.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful partner and we are so blessed to have so many family and friends who have been there (and will continue to be) as our journey has taken a turn we didn't expect it to. All of the kind words and thoughts from people in real life and on the blog have truly meant the world to us.

A special thank you to whomever posted our story over at LFCA the extra encouragement we received from folks over there was just another kindness to help ease the pain a bit.

This weekend is National Scrapbook Weekend so it promises to be full of fun - just what we need. Tomorrow we have our Kit of the Month Clubs (scrapbooking and quilting) and we will have lunch with our good friends Laura, Sue, and Olivia. Sunday we are signed up for an all day crop from 9 AM - 9PM with goodie bags, raffles, contests, and 3 catered meals. We are going with 3 friends to that. I am ready to get back to life and now that the my body is healing physically, I really feel that the emotional healing can begin.

Again, thanks to everyone for all of the support - it really has meant the world to both of us - more than you even know!
