My girl and I had a fabulous Christmas together. She got me some super uper cute clothes, XM for a year in the truck, 2 CDs, and lots of little goodies in my stocking. I love all my gifts, but the best gift was getting to take her home with me to my parents. I think aliens took my parents and left some really cool people in the meantime. We enjoyed our time with them playing the Wii and eating mom's good cooking.
We also enjoyed spending time with my girls family. They are a more lively bunch than mine, but not too over the top. We played Uno, which I haven't played in years. So much fun. My girls mom gave us a gift card to a posh day spa in the city, can't wait to use that!! It's actually the same place I took my girl for our anniversary. Pure relaxation!
We rode the 4-wheeler one afternoon looking for an old civil war cemetery on her grand-fathers land. We finally found it, and both enjoyed our time outdoors in the woods. Reminded me of an earlier time in my life. Things are simple in the woods...no phones, jobs, money, etc.
We went back to the western part of the state for NYE. We had snicky snacks and rang in the new year with my girls mom and gram (stage IV cancer). It wasn't as fun as the previous year, but that is okay. Not every year is going to be the same.
I got called to do an emergency surgery so we had to come back home early. We had planned to have chinese buffet with my parents after their church service on Sunday. They seemed disappointed we had to get a raincheck. I cannot believe how much their attitude has changed in such a short amount of time!
We have discussed, not at length, our plans for a wedding ceremony. What to do? I looked at flying to CT and going to the courthouse with a JOP, and then spending a night in NYC for our "honeymoon". We could take the train from CT to NYC, for a decent cost. Plus we'd have the magical and romantic story of staying in Manhattan on our wedding night. Sounds perfect to me. I'd love to do that in the summertime when it's warm and we can enjoy their weather without having to bundle up in scarves and coats. I think the biggest decision is getting a feel of how her gram will feel about everything. Will she feel like going to a reception back home? Will she get the point? Will she be sad we are planning so much of OUR wedding around her?
I looked at profile's on CA Cryo the other night. I get so excited thinking about it. I love that they have celeb look-alikes for their donors. Call me vain, but I honestly don't want sperm from a bad gene pool. When I have the option of good family history, no STDs, good looks, etc. why not take advantage of that?
Life is good with my girl. We have a cruise to the Caribbean coming up in 18 days. I NEED/MUST/HAVE to lose weight. Treadmill and lowering my intake are in my future. I have never weighed this much in my life. I never knew "happiness" did this to people!! Or is it laziness? I want to feel sexy again. I want to wear lingerie and not feel I have to hide my belly. I want to walk around the house in cute pajamas rather than big sweat pants and slouchy shirts. I'm writing it down. I'm on a mission. I challenge myself to stick to it.
Happy New Year 2011 folks.
xoxo
