Our holiday weekend was good - each day had some tears but they also had fun in them to balance out the sad side. Thanksgiving morning was rough...it was J's first major holiday since his dad passed away. We tried to watch the Macy's day parade but J ended up in tears saying "We said we'd take our kids to the parade." It was tough...I think it's the first time he's let himself cry in front of me over the losses. After that we decided it was time to go for a walk at the park with the puppies. SO glad we did - it really reset our moods and we burned some calories before we consumed them!
Saturday we did our part for Small Business Saturday. We headed up to Fredericksburg for some shopping. It was so much fun! The weather was perfect. Only downfall was the crowds...so many people had the same idea! I am hoping we can get back up there again before the end of the year. Funny story for you from when we were shopping...we went into a store that sold all sorts of jams, jellies, salsas and sauces...we picked out two jars to purchase after testing many of the samples. Well, if we bought three we'd save 15% on each bottle, so I got to pick out the third...I quickly grabbed the Pineapple and Hatch salsa. After we started driving I asked J what was wrong with me...how did I manage to pick up salsa and not the wild blueberry preserves?!? I am a bit of a nut when it comes to blueberries - especially the wild variety. I think I've been in TX too long...still wondering how this girl from New England who grew up with blueberries in her backyard picked salsa over blueberry jam... Another reason to go back!
I leave you with some pictures :)

Thanksgiving dinner in our courtyard (we put way too much food on our plates and didn't eat it all!)
I think that having the lap done is a good idea- especially if it is going to be free. I wouldn't know about my endo if it wasn't for my fibroid surgery. No one wants to go through surgery, but at least after it is over you will know for sure if there is anything going on in your uterus.
ReplyDeleteBTW, your puppies are adorable!
Thank you :) You are the second person I've heard from that did not know about their endo until the surgery...like you said in the end I'll know if it's there or not.
DeleteI agree with KT. If your going to suffer through this crappy "journey" better to know everything and deal with it as need be. Here's to a cleaned out ute. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteI'm so sorry about the struggles this Thanksgiving-but I'm glad it seemed to have ended okay. The holidays sure are tough nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I was somewhat naive and didn't think it was going to be that bad - ha! - I was wrong.
DeleteYour Thanksgiving plate looks yummy! and I agree with everyone re: the laproscopy. It's one less thing to worry about once it's finished, and it's free. :) good luck. keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My thoughts exactly...I won't be left wondering "What if I had gone forward with the lap..."
DeleteI am glad you decided to have the surgery and great that your mom can come help you recover also! I am thinking about doing mine in January after the holidays are over. I love seeing pictures of your pups, they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI would have preferred to wait until after the holidays, but I could pass up free. :) Plus my benefits are changing so best to do it now.
