Happy New Year

Warning: another super long post
2010 is here and has brought with it joy and sorrow. That is how life works I guess. Here is how it goes...
New Years Eve:
A bunch of us decided to be adventurous and take the Frontrunner downtown to the "Eve" celebration. So they have these train hosts and I must say ours totally rocked. He gave Ian an entire box of those mini candy canes. Why Ian? I'm thinking it is the awesome lumberjack look he has been sporting lately.

Wandering around town looking for the ticket booth was fun until I dropped dead from starvation. We made a pit stop at McGrath's Fish House because there was no wait. I'm not much of a fish person. I hope to change that sometime in my future life.

We headed out with the boys handing out as many candy canes as possible. I think they are crazy. My untrusting self would not take candy from a bunch of dudes on New Years without fear of it being laced with coke. Would you trust him?

It was a great way to ring in the new year.

May all your dreams come true this year.

(I guess the candy canes did the trick :) )

New Years Day:

We spent the next few days hanging out with our friends. The Pacos had an early but really good brunch.

We went sledding and had pizza after. My poor husband took a jump with one of those plastic saucers. The poor guy hasn't been able to walk or sit since.

We also met with our friends from Alaska.

Now for the suckitude:

I am officially rejected from the EAGer study for failure to get pregnant. Although it comes with the perks of not having to test my urine every morning, not having to monitor my ovulation all month long, and not taking pills anymore, it hurt a lot more than I expected. It didn't help that it fell on a weekend we just happened to be hanging out with all of our "parent" friends. I think the hardest thing is that we have done everything naturally that we can do and it hasn't worked. A specialist will not see us for another 3 months because they want it to be a year of trying. Miscarriages are awesome because the clock has started over every time we've gotten pregnant. I'm so utterly discouraged. I'm tired of hearing pregnancy announcements. It makes me wonder what I'm doing so wrong.
For sanity purposes we have decided to take a breather for a while. I need to think about something else, concentrate on finishing school, setting up my business, cute shoes, pretty much anything else. I want to work out really hard and not worry that it's going to stop my ovulation. I want my period to just be inconvenient and not heartbreaking.
How am I going to deal with this socially? I have no idea. Hopefully I will come up with something before I lose all my friends.

Last Note: We joined Netflix the other day and I'm completely hooked on this dark comedy...

Check it out if you like that sort of thing. **may be too much for some audiences**
