There is nothing so heartwarming as being missed by good friends. My Christmas was wonderful (although very busy). We had three separate events to go to on Christmas Day, and one each the day before Christmas Eve, and on Christmas Eve. We all had a wonderful time!
Our New Year's Eve was very quiet - just Dustin and I at home with Rhane. It was sweet. Dustin proposed a toast with a tiny bit of wine at midnight and gave me a sweet kiss.
My parents' divorce was final last Monday, and I am finally coming to grips with that. The ease and calm of having completely separate relationships with both of them has helped, although they have been able to come together for major family events. The same day the divorce was final, the son of our former next door neighbor (also Mom and Dad's divorce lawyer) had a terrible accident under really awful circumstances, and strangled himself to death. We all knew him, and we were devastated to hear about this. The visitation and funeral were really tough.
On a happier note, we found out a week or two ago that we are pregnant again, so I am cautiously expecting with a due date around September 5th. My first appointment is tomorrow, and I am hoping that a healthier diet, less stress, and more rest will give us a happy and healthy nine months this time!
Things are going really well here. I still read both of your threads on an almost daily basis, and I've missed you, too!
Big Hugs, Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
