2013 you have been hard.
At the start of this year we lost a great man.
Rodger was the best father-in-law a girl could have. Never judgmental, always funny and insightful, he was so supportive. It was the only thing I could do in the end to be the same for him. The Mr & I were there right till the end. Even though I have dealt with death often his passing affected me on a much deeper level. I cannot even try to sum up this wonderful man, the words escape me and I cannot describe the feelings that are with me everyday.
For now all I can say is I Miss You & Love You.
After Rodgers passing MIL (Jane) decided she needed to get away and so with BIL (Nick), the Mr and Myself a trip to Las Vegas was planned for April.
It was a great place to forget. So many things to see and do. The heat, omg the heat was wonderful. Going to the Beach in April (the hotel we stayed at had a beach pool) was awesome. Jane and I went and had a little R&R at the spa while the boys went and played with Guns. We saw a Cirque show, Penn & Tell, the water fountian show and Peep Show. We ate, oh my word did we eat. Rainforest Cafe, All you can eats, The restaurant at the top of the world. The food was sooooo good. We shopped till we couldn't fit any more bags on our arms (whoot to outlet stores and cheep prices) The Mr. and I are hoping to go back as there were so many things to see and do we couldn't fit it all in.
Before we went to Vegas we did Fancon in Vancouver with the one of our geeky couple friends. It was great. We had so much fun! So many great costumes we were in heaven.
Summer was pretty quiet. We didn't go camping or really anywhere. Work consumed most of our time and in a blink our summer was over. The only thing that really did happen was I got transferred to another store and became the manager.
The one thing the Mr. and I did do this summer was go 4x4ing and shooting. We found this great little waterfall out in Mission, it's way off the beaten track but others know about is as there was a camp site set up. We look forward to going there again next year.
Enter in fall, and a new member of our family. Oden the cat.
He's an illegal immigrant as we unknowingly smuggled him into Canada in the Mr's car engine. We are not kidding. This kitten used up one of his 9 lives. In our minds it was meant to be or fate as some would say, so we adopted him. He and Coco now have a love hate relationship. Lucky for us our little girl (coco) was used to cats and has dealt with this new member accordingly, though sometimes she wants to be the only one that gets cuddles and gets a little lippy.
This past November I got transferred again to yet another store where I am the Manager of a newly renovated store. Here's hoping I can bring up the sales and bring back some customers :) I'm gearing up to work everyday before Christmas starting this Tuesday. Oh so much fun, not.
The Mr. surprised me earlier this month too! He's only been able to do that 2 times prior so when he pulled this one off I was totally surprised!!! He said we haven't been on a date, a real date in a very long time (which was true) so he wanted us to get all dressed up and go into town for dinner and then whatever we wanted to do after. I will confess I really didn't want to go into town. I was trying to convince him to just get take out and stay home and watch movies here. He was like "NO! we are going on a date and that's that".
So I got all dressed up and we went into town and ate at a nice gastro-pub and decided to go to the Christmas market after dinner. Or so I thought, As we are walking by the Orpheum the Mr. drags me in and I'm like "Hunny you cant just go in when there is a show on, you need tickets." He was like "No there is a guy here that I want to see and I think you'll want to see him too." I was so confused until I saw a poster of who was playing. I totally had a freak out.
"We're going to see Eddie Izzard?" I yelled at him as he was at the ticket booth. "Yes" he said,
I tossed myself at him and gave him a big hug. The people at the ticket booth were smiling and laughing at us. I love me some Eddie Izzard and had no clue he was in town (work has been taking up most of my time) That night has pretty much been the highlight of my winter so far.
As you can tell I haven't really said much about fertility or treatments. That's because we have done nothing. We had appointments with Genesis and the new RE said, Loose 10% of body weight, and do a Super O with IUI though with your age you might want to just do IVF, oh and have a period every month. Lets just say that did not go well. I need to take meds to get a period and for ever consecutive month I took the meds my period got lighter and lighter. I don't think I was meant to have a period every month. Last month we had a Phone appointment with the RE from Genesis and lets just say our time was not as important as hers (the RE) after waiting 3 hours after the appointment time and we still had not heard from the RE the MR was Livid so we decided to change clinics and go with Olive. My GP has sent in the referral and we have a tentative appointment booked for mid January. Until then I need to loose weight (maybe actually do it this time) and think positive thoughts. We know what we want to do and just need to speak to our new RE about our plan. Hopefully by this time next year we will have a baby in our arms.
I have to say this is the first year that I haven't really wanted to do the Christmas thing. I haven't done cards, haven't even bought gifts yet this year. I guess I've lost that Christmas spirit this year. I'm looking forward to 2014!
