Excited?

Hey Ladies! So I know if any of you are like me you're dreading yet another holiday without a bundle of joy of your own. I've broken down a couple of times in the past few weeks and it totally sucks. But I thought it might be fun for a minute to focus on something we're excited for that lies ahead in our future. I'll go first.

My grandparents have a timeshare in Sedona, Arizona so my entire family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) are all meeting down there for a week during Christmas. I get to take an entire week off of work and go sightseeing, hiking, lay around at the spa... It should be louds of fun and I am SO excited!

I would love to hear what fun things are coming up in your life.

Same thing, I am going away too for the holidays! I am going back home to France and I am pretty excited! Also, my husband just told me that there is a rumor going around that he might come back home earlier from Iraq: in March next year instead of June!

IVF has me in the slumps as far as wanting to spend ANY money!!! Im waiting patiently for my raise @ my job! Just too much going on right now to focus on ANYTHING else!!! I can say this is 1 yr that Im really not looking forward to the holidays....Mind is other places.

But enjoy your family. Hopefully they will ease your mind of "this crazy stuff"!!!

Dancer, I know exactly how you feel. All of the significant days in a year that would be fun to share good news passing by with BFNs!

I think this is the first year I feel more numb than anything. I'm not sure if I'd rather feel tragically sad, or this sort of nothing that I feel now. I am in the midst of IVF, so maybe that's giving some part of me a shred of hope, but I'm not really outwardly feeling that, either.

I get to go home to Texas and spend time with family. I am especially looking forward to seeing my sister and Nephews!!!

We are hosting the holiday so I'm looking forward to having everyone together for the holidays! My Grandmother who has been very sick may actually be able to come, which would be WONDERFUL!

We are having Christmas Eve at my house so I am really looking forward to that. I have been busy decorating the inside and outside of the house and planning a menu. I was nervous about taking this on this year but I think it was the best thing I could have done.

We are also going away (to the beach) for xmas and we have just bought a block of land on top of a high hill with a great view that we are planning on building a house on in the future. (not right now though but it is still something to look forward to). This whole year I have felt like I was in a black hole with no future at all, so at least this gives us a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. I hope this helps and doesn't make it worse but you could try looking at some of your old photos of when you used to be really happy and try and generate that feeling again. Remember that back then you didn't have a child either so it is possible to be happy without one. (I hope that maks sense and helps a bit)Take care of yourself

My hubby and I are headed to San Diego for 10 days! We both have family there and most of them don't know we're coming. We wanted to surprise them... Especially my MIL and our neices and nephews. I can't wait to see the look on her faces!!!

We are going to VA to visit my family for the holidays. This will be the first time that my DH has been home with me since we have lived here!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
