Thank you

Aunt Jessa sent flowers!!

I wallowed in self pity on Sunday. It was the only day I was allowed to mope about the house and I took full advantage of it. D & Popop went to church, ran some errands, cleaned the office and went for lunch. I laid in the living room and watched trashy TV and Lifetime movies. At about 5 pm, David and Dad convinced me to put on real clothes and brush my hair to go to WM&J's (close friends) house for dinner. It was the best decision of the day. 

I had DELICIOUS Puerto Rican food that reminded me of growing up in NJ with my best friend Jose, uplifting conversation with a friend that understands the heartache of infertility and the NEED to parent a child, and watched RV which provided a much needed laugh. Those 4 hours of friend time really uplifted my mood and put me back in the right frame of mind.

Facebook lulls you into thinking you have tons of friends. Real life shows who your true friends are. On Friday, I received the beautiful bouquet of flowers from Aunt Jessa and that helped take some of the sting out of the news and Uncle PJ called me within SECONDS of hearing the news (that is something that NEVER HAPPENS!!). Saturday WM&J went to an indoor waterpark with us and on Saturday night, Aunt Jessa, Uncle Josh, Doodle & Roo took us to the circus and dinner at Denny's. Since then, I've received phone calls, texts, hugs in real life, private messages on Facebook and comments on this blog.

Everything has helped me to bounce back from disappointment and I appreciate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

Tonight is yoga with another friend and this weekend I have a girl's night planned and tickets to a hockey game. Yeah...I'll be the one with the red foam horns on screaming and stomping my feet. It should be theraputic!
