Best Friends

The acronym BFF gets thrown around just about as much as the words, I LOVE YOU. But honestly, true best friends are the ones that you can get together with and it's almost as if no time has past at all.

I have these truly special girl friends that are really my true best friends. The three of us have been friends ever since I moved to Alexandria when I was in first grade. Let's just say it was a rough adjustment, but they welcomed me with open arms. I was a little apprehensive about the fact of joining a new group of friends, but it's been over twenty years and we are all still here in Alexandria and we make every effort to continue to have our girls nights. All the ladies were in my wedding and continue to be huge supporters of me and my efforts to continue on being a strong woman, and mom. These special ladies are not only what I call true best friends, but sisters; because family will always be there for you no matter what happens in life, and these girls are the definition of that.

We may not always be super close and exchange texts every day, but when we are together, it's like we haven't been apart. Although we didn't get a ton of time to chat tonight, we definitely lived it up. What more can a girl ask for - wine, food, and a good movie at Cinema 9?!? Oh and buttered and salted movie theater popcorn.

Tonight was one of the best nights that I've had in a really long time. I laughed and I cried, all the while within the company of people that I trust: and that's a big deal.

These girls have been there for me for everything and I'm so thankful. I dedicate this post to you fantastic ladies. We will conquer the world together, play hard, and love harder.

Love you!

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t...

Happy Valentine's Day.....just a little late

Valentine's Day is my least favorite "holiday." And I say "holiday" because it really isn't a holiday at all. It was invented as a commercial holiday to sell more cards, over-priced chocolate, and unforeseeable prices on flowers. Up until this year I had never gotten actual roses on Valentine's Day. And no, they did not come from a man. My amazing dad, along with my precious Miss K, got me a dozen roses as a surprise when I got home from school. We had to celebrate a day early because of my school schedule, but the flowers were definitely a surprise. I made Miss K's valentine's as I always do for preschool and daycare. I'm trying to be a Pinterest mom when I can, and I'm very proud of these. Not a ton of work, but it just took some planning. With all the pressure to "have it all together," and I totally don't, I attempt to make up for it with these simple, yet time consuming valentine. My Non-Traditional Vale...

Pre-school & Perfection

Today was a monumental day. K started her last year of preschool. With a birthday being in October, she has the wonderful opportunity of being in preschool for two years, instead of just one. I am very lucky to live in a town where we have so many great options for PreK instruction. But today, I was a mess. I overslept, and forgot her new backpack at home as I was rushing out the door with my backpack for school. I got into the parking lot and realized, "Oh f*&%! I forgot her backpack!" Such a trivial item, but it would be so important to K. A and K had been waiting for me, at our intended meeting time of 7:55, because I insisted on being early to take pictures, and here I was the one who f'd up, and didn't wake up on time. I was so focused on what I forgot to get done and didn't do, that I neglected to embrace the moment she was experiencing on her last first day of PreK. Thankfully, I remembered the "First Day of School" sign I bought two m...
