I thought we'd be farther along......

I have been feeling a little down the past couple of days. I realized on Friday why that was. On this day last year, the hubby and I found out that we would be expanding our family. We were both so excited and could wait to start planning everything. Our excitement was short lived, as we lost the baby. We thought that since it happened once that it would be very easy to fall pregnant again. Well, that has not been the case. 10 months after the go ahead, here we are with not even a blimp. It's disheartening to say the least. People keep telling us that it will happen when its supposed to, or that we are trying too hard. Honestly, if we had known it would take this long, we probably wouldn't have waited at all. I know that we should be patient, but I have talked about this in the past and we are waiting for our time. We hope that our time will come soon, as we are trying to do everything in our power. Until then, we try to continue to live our lives and continue to love one another.

So, to update you on the more recent events, lets talk about the weekend. Friday we had our once a month visit with our dear friends and had a nice relaxing evening playing Cards Against Humanity, its like Apples to Apples for adults. Earlier that day, I was treated to the most amazing sandwich at a local restaurant in Pasadena called The Raymond. If your ever in the area, make a reservation and hit it up. I can't wait until they have their pumpkin ravioli back on the menu. We had been reveling in the cooler weather until that day and spent every evening on our porch last week just relaxing.

Saturday we headed down to Ikea to pick up a new dresser, and some other storage items for Fall cleaning. It's time to get rid of the old and get organized again! Then we headed out to my grandmothers house to have a faux Thanksgiving. We had turkey and all the fixings with lots of family. It was a great afternoon.

Sunday, D's sister, brother-in-law and us took D's parents out to lunch for his dad's birthday. Good conversation all around. Then we headed home to do some assembly. It took the boys 2 hours to put together the dresser while I move furniture around and cleaned out the old dresser. Then D and I had dinner and watched a movie. It was a fairly busy weekend, but not really uneventful. Hopefully I can get an after photo when I get the closet re-organized. No I didn't take a before, but I can take a midway to show you what we did, and still need to do.

Also, last week the hubs and I decided to have a little date night at the shooting range. It's still so much fun to do target practice, however I do need to get out more. My aim isn't nearly as good as it once was. Were just testing things out to see if there's any shopping to be done. It was a fun night just the two of us!

Hope everyone in blogland had a great weekend!
