The New Year

New Year's Eve--After working so hard all day Rich and I decided to go to Shaun and Jennie's house at the last minute. We didn't get there until 9:00, but stayed until well after 2:00 am! It's always nice to spend time with them, although most nights Jennie and I are upstairs chatting while the boys are in the basement with the video games. For once, we all spent some time together playing Wii, Rock Band in particular was a hit. I had never played and can see how you could get hooked on it very easily.

We returned to Shaun and Jennie's this evening for one last visit before real life returns on Monday. I think we'll all be going through some withdrawal from not being able to see each other every other day:( I guess we'll all just need to make a conscious effort to plan time to get together.

As for the new year goes, I haven't ever really been big on resolutions because they seem to set me up for failure. However, Jennie and I decided tonight that just working on being happier seems to be a good plan. Of course I want to get in the gym and eat a little healthier, etc. but there are only so many hours in the day, so I'll just have to do the best that I can with what I have to work with.

It's always hard for me to come to terms with the amount of time that is passing by with big holidays like this one. It puts how long our fertility struggle has been into perspective and marks another year gone by without being blessed with a child. We are approaching the four year mark which blows my mind. However, when I look around and see most of my friends having one, two and even three babies during the same time that we've been trying the long road is put into perspective. February 27th would have been my due date, so with that date approaching I feel a little unsettled. Perhaps there may be a miracle in 2010, only God knows!
