Merry belated Christmas

Despite me not being too excited about Christmas this year...I actually had a great one. We did the 23rd at my husbands family and Christmas Eve at my parent's with my family. We dressed our furbaby Neela up as Santa with antlers...boy was she excited (yeah right!) The fur in her picture makes it look like she's wearing a beard but she wasn't!

We drove to my in-laws a few hours away ( the weather was actually good for once)...and a little while after I got there I realized that there was a little blue box under there tree. I looked a little closer...yes everyone...it was a box from Tiffeny's. Ever since I was a little girl, one of my favorite movies was Breakfast at Tiffeny's. I couldn't believe my eyes. I think I started to squeal! I'm not sure if it was out loud or not. My husband just smiled. This was his doing!

I looked at him, smiled...grabed the box and slowly opened the blue box with white ribbon. Inside was a gorgeous necklace! Ever since we met, he has known that I would love someday to get something from Tiffeny's..but I never thought I would. Anyways...I was about the happiest girl in the world :-)

Later on we had a great rest of the holidays with our two families...ate too much, drank too much and had a lot of great presents. On the 25th I had to work a double at the hospital 6:30- 11pm....but it was a really slow day in the OR. Just a couple of hip fractures and gallbladders. And the people I worked with were some of my favorite people so I can't complain. In the afternoon I was up in OB, and we only had to do a couple of epidurals...the department was incredibly quiet (usually they're hopping...they do about 6000 deliveries a year). Hope everyone had a great Christmas...I know I sure did. The best part was that I actually wasn't expecting to!

You are a lucky girl! A necklace from Tiffany's! I'd be squealing too.:-) You dog is so cute! We have two labs. I love doggies.

My Christmas was good save for the 15 year old friend of the family who brought by her 6 week old. I just kept looking at her, and not believing it. She looked so much like a child holding the baby doll she got for Christmas. It was unreal and so ironic.

Yes, my husband is a filmmaker and movie director. He and his brother just made their first independent feature film. They do a lot of short films and video work to pay the bills, but the ultimate goal is to be in Hollywood one day (we live in Atlanta right now) making the movies that people go to see each weekend, and they are getting closer each day! You can see their work at www.dawsbrothers.com if you are interested!

Did you say you are in Michigan?

How are things coming with your cycle?

Do you have any other issues besides the UU? What are you doctors saying about the chances of you conceiving on your own?

I am just curious what your journey has been.:-) You probably got the gist of my journey on my blog, but I'd be glad to answer any questions too about my situation. I know it's helpful for us UUers to share our stories since it's so rare!

Take care,
Becca

Cute pic of your dog. It does look a bit like a beard. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad your Christmas at work wasn't too bad. CRNA sounds interesting, I have a friend going to school for that right now. Me, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do next.
