Final Day of Christmas Break :o(

Break went by way too fast. We had a great time with family and friends, but it just never lasts long enough! We have celebrated Christmas with all of our families except one. We are planning to head to Ohio over MLK weekend to have Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Henderson.

New Years Eve turned out to be a blast. Plans were kind of up in the air until the night before but I think all who came had a good time. At least I hope! It was good to spend some time with Tony, Bev, Court, Jeremy, and Matt. I looked back on the messages on the Wii from that night and New Years day and I think we banked almost 9 hours of play time on the Wii. Nice :o) We had a lot of fun!

I've gone to Indy twice over break to have internal ultrasounds. Fun, right?! No, not really. They weren't as bad as the very first one I had. They are actually just starting to be a routine for me. Doesn't phase me much anymore. I go for another ultrasound and blood work tomorrow morning at 8 before I have to be at work at 8:30. What a way to start the new semester, right? It should be fine. They are just checking to see how many follicles I have in my ovaries and to see if they need to up the dose of the shots. After my ultrasound yesterday at 7AM in Indy...they decided to double the dosage for last night and tonight. So we will see what that does tomorrow when I go to the doctor. I am so glad we are going to Dr. Henry. He and his nursing staff are amazing! They make us feel very comfortable with all the new things they are throwing at us. I just really appreciate my nurse, Jamie, for not getting annoyed when I ask a million questions. I just feel like it's a lot of money to throw away if we don't do everything the way we should. Not that they guarantee anything but I just don't want to lessen our chances by not doing something right! I am so thankful to have Blaine as my husband and my rock throughout this whole thing. He is a saint when it comes to actually giving me the shots. It's kind of nice to have an EMT give me my shots instead of having me freak out trying to give them to myself! (one, two, three, ouch, poke)

Anyway, I better get some stuff done around here. I know that I will be exhausted this week after going back to work on Monday. And the shots don't give me any more energy ;o) It seems like I've been exhausted ever since I started taking them! But hopefully it will be all worth it! Keep praying...that's what we do! :o)

an extra prayer...

Just a quick request....Keep us in your prayers over the next few days. I go down to Indy tomorrow for my ultrasound and then hopefully start the shot process on Wednesday. Things are starting to get to me. So I could definitely use some extra prayers. I don't really want to talk about it but would really appreciate your prayers. Thanks!

Hope everyone has a great week and a Happy New Year!

Ready for break...

I'm so ready for Christmas Break!! We are starting to have our Christmas get-togethers so it makes me anxious for break to come. Last weekend, we had our Fire Dept Christmas party. It was fun and always nice to hear the recap of the years activities.

I am done wrapping presents. Until Blaine gets the rest of the shopping done. I pretty proud of myself for getting it done this early.

This Saturday, we are going down to Indy to meet with the Fertility nurse for a "shot consultation." I'm pretty excited but nervous at the same time. It's a big step for us so please keep us in your prayers.

I just heard the dryer turn off so I need to switch the loads. More later..

:o)

My house is a wreck right now. We recently received an early Christmas present (32' Plasma TV) and we are trying to rearrange for the TV and to find a place for our big Christmas tree. It's all very time consuming and stressful on us right now..because we aren't home until late. So we stayed up past midnight last night trying to arrange the house. We will have two hours tonight before we have to leave to go to Francesville for Alex's game, to get some stuff done. We'll see how we do!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So, I know I'm one of those crazy people that decorate early; but I can't help it! So here is what I have done so far!

I don't have the big tree up yet..this tree is going to go in the front spare bedroom infront of the window as soon as we get the big tree up!

I put the village on top of the entertainment center this year instead of the hutch. I think I like it better there...

I love my nativity scenes! Willow Tree and Precious Moments!!

Straight or Curly?

I was bored tonight after Blaine left for his fire meeting so I decided to straighten my hair.

What do you think?

The weekend...

I'm really excited for this weekend. Blaine and I got our hands on 6 free tickets to the Purdue/Indiana Football game(thanks to the Podells!!)!! The seats are on like the 35 yard line...11 rows up. We can't complain. The tickets even came with a prime tailgating spot! So, Blaine and I, Court, and Megan and Matt are going to enjoy the game on Saturday. I gave the sixth ticket to my friend Aaron since he always offers me tickets. We are planning to get there early and get our spot and just hang out and have a good time. I'm planning on getting ahold of some of our other friends to see if they want to come tailgate with us as well.

Meg came out this evening and we worked on getting Christmas presents around. We always have a good time when we hang out and I love spending time with her. I have the best sister in the world.

This weekend is going to be busy but I'm sure looking forward to having fun with friends!
