Happy Turkey Day!

Later today, my house will begin to fill with the loud laughter and chaos that is my family.The smell of delicious food will begin to waft through the rooms, causing my cute dogs to park themselves in the kitchen in hopes of a treat being tossed their way. Then tomorrow, some very loved friends will join us for loads of food, wine and thankfulness. We'll snuggle in on the couch with coffee and argue over the Longhorns vs Aggies game while planning our Black Friday assault. I may even convince C and my brother to hang up our Christmas lights outside and to drag our tree down from the attic.

There will probably be more then a few moments that make me pause and desperately wish for our child and I'll get sad as I realize those moments are only going to increase in frequency as we rapidly approach Christmas. But, I'll also take comfort in knowing that our chance to cycle is that much closer. We are that much closer to (hopefully) having our child in our arms and so I'll say a little prayer for our child and be very thankful for C and the wonderful doctors that are going to help us.

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope it's full of yummy food and a win for the Longhorns!!

Thankful

I love to eat and this makes Thanksgiving a very enjoyable holiday for me! Yum Yum, all that turkey and ham and pumpkin pie! My parents and little brother are here to celebrate with us and it's never dull around here when my parents visit. My Dad is hilarious and watching him and my Mom bicker just cracks me up. C unexpectedly got called into work and won't be here, which is a bummer, but his company is catering a full turkey dinner for them so at least he'll eat good. Right now my house smells like pumpkin pie and all that is good, makes me feel so happy inside.

We always go around the table and share what we are thankful for, so I thought I'd share it here too. Even though this year has been full of ups and downs, there is still so much to be thankful for: the sexiest hubby ever, my crazy family, my annoying inlaws, my cute dogs, cancer doctors who work miracles, my amazing friends and IF doctors. Oh Lord, how I am thankful for IF doctors! Dr. L restored our hope and we will be forever thankful to him for that.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all stuff yourselves silly, laugh a lot and enjoy the day. We all deserve it!
