My Girl

AF finally made an appearance after the crazy ovulation cycle from last month, and according to FF, our timing is still pretty good...if not perfect :) My boob is healing nicely from the two incisions. We have our bags mostly packed for our adventure to San Diego in TWO days!!! I'd say things are right on track again :) We are feeling good about everything, mostly excited and happy to be going on vacation. We are looking at the baby part of it as an awesome perk to our trip!! Not stressing too much.

Have I mentioned how cute my mom is?? Well she is. She came over Friday evening to spend some time with us before she and the rest of my family headed to FL for vacation on Saturday. I could tell she was a little apprehensive about something. I thought at first she was just sad about going on a family vacation without me (which she is & I am, my whole family is in Destin right now...and I'm about to jetset to the other side of the country). It wasn't until she started asking about our 'plans' for our trip did I realize she was actually concerned about how 'this' was all going to work out.

I'll just say it. She thought we were literally going to use a turkey baster......a Thanksgiving turkey baster.

See...she's cute. So, to put her mind at ease, I asked if she'd just like to see what we are going to use. (I'm so glad the relationship I have with my mother is strong enough to talk about sperm and syringes and preseed). After seeing that we were NOT going to try to use some huge turkey baster to make a grandbaby, she was happy knowing the chances of it having three arms and 6 eyes were less. Shew. The teensy tiny syringes are smaller than a tampon! hahaha I couldn't imagine a turkey baster!! I'll admit the laugh she gave us was much needed. Also, I think I am ready to tell her about this bloggy poo, now that she is all in the know about how things are happening. Might as well give her some reading material while she's at the beach! Hi Momma!!  :)

Also, this happened...Courtney was super cute a few weeks ago. I'll set the scene-- One Friday evening I was feeling gross in my compression wrap just two days after surgery, we were watching some mindless TV, it was getting late so by 'watching' I mean with one eye open trying to prove I'm still 24 not 54, and I can stay awake past 10:30. Court told me she wrote something for the blog and asked if I'd like to hear it. Of course I would....this is what she had to say:

"So Jamie and I have been together a little over a year now and life could not be better. I can honestly say that she brings out the best in me and makes me want to be a better person. She's got it all together, she's so smart, super silly and, to top it all off, she's gorgeous. I couldn't imagine my life without her. She has made me a full part of her life and her family and I could not ask for more from her and never repay her for the happiness she has brought me. And, although she may not want to admit it, she can be a little sweet.. just sometimes. I have always wanted kids, but had never actually been with anyone who I could see myself wanting a family with up until her. There's no person in this world that I would rather spend my life with and raise children with and share all of my adventures with. Every single day I love this girl more and more and I know that this is what it's like to really be in love.. so basically what I'm trying to say is that I like it so I wanna put a ring on it." < this is a joke...about the song & it is totally perfect.

Then she reached in her pocket and pulled out a fantastic ring!! I am fairly certain I know what being in shock is now! Duh, I said yes. After asking a million times if this is real life. First of all the ring was exactly what I had talked about liking...and she did a great job finding something so similar. (& we actually said we'd not tell anyone this, but here I am doing just that!) It was too flashy for me...I know I'm terrible! She, being the wonderful future wife she is, took me to exchange it for something more low key. The fine people of Jared were more than happy to help and we went home with this gorgeous piece of love....

Now we just wait until America comes around to the new age. We don't want to run off and get married in someplace that isn't our home, just to come back with literally nothing. If it is just a ceremony that means something to us, then it is already in our hearts. For now, this is perfect. Our life is perfect.

**All we are missing is a baby! In two days time, just two days...we are going to try to make that dream a reality :)**
