Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
We made Christmas cookies and it wasn’t that bad as last year. Actually had fun making them this year. We used some vivid colors this year too.
I got new cookie cutters too:
Christmas Eve we are going to my parent’s house. I will show pics later. Then Christmas Day my parents are coming to our house for meatloaf. Adam is in WI this week and he is going to stay over. It will be fun.
Cute husband rolling out dough.
On Friday December 18 2015 I had an ultrasound done. I never had one of those done before. I was nervous about. When they were doing it hurt a bit because they had do it while I was having my period. It’s sensitive down there during that time. It was different looking at my insides. After the ultrasound we met with my doctor. Everything looks okay but they want to another ultra sound in January. Not really my favorite thing to do but to have a baby I must.
This weekend we did some of our bathroom and making some progress. We painted and Jeff put up the boarder. Coming together.
We really wanted stars in our bedroom. However we couldn’t find one of those decals because they were too kiddy. And we weren’t going to pay eight dollars for a star. So we made our own and painted them. We figured out it only cost us less than a dollar fifty for each star. Looks great!
Living in Wisconsin we should have snow however we only had some snow stick around a couple of weeks ago. Since then it has melted. Now today it’s raining that means no snow.
I feel like I do not live in Wisconsin. We should have so much snow now but we do not. I have only wore my winter coat a few times. I am still wearing shorts in December! It has been about thirty five to forty two Fahrenheit. That is warm for here.
Basically need a rain coat and not a winter coat right now. What is going on? I say no snow for Christmas. Jeff says snow for Christmas. I would be fine not having snow that means I don’t have to drive in it. I would be fine with green for Christmas.
Many things
Tuesday December 8 2015 Jeff and I went to the infertility place. I was super nervous then again I am always nervous going to the doctor’s office unless I know what’s going to happen. Like I am no longer nervous about getting my physical every year because I know what’s going to happening. Anyway on Tuesday we went there and we were there for about two hours. Everyone was very nice!
A couple of years ago we went to a woman in our town and we didn’t like her. She tell us anything and she wasn’t very nice. The whole appointment with that woman was like twenty minutes. Very unhelpful and turned me off of having help.
I am glad we went to the place we did. The next visit I will keep you informed of what test will be done.
As you know a tree fell on our house so we wanted the other tree gone too so it doesn’t fall on our house. So one of Jeff co-worker’s husband he cuts down trees for a living. As the tree was leaning the right way it fell on our house anyways. Good thing there was no damage i would have been mad. I could have let mother nature do that however it was cheap for him to take it down.
On Saturday December 5 2015 we made popcorn balls. It’s so fun to make them but it’s more fun to eat them. Sugary goodness.
We use to make popcorn balls years ago but for whatever reason we stop doing. I was talking to my dad and I mentioned why don’t we do popcorn balls? His answer was I love making them but seems like no one else does. I was like I do and can we do it this year. Thus popcorn balls tradition came back.
Here are some pics of the event. I was the only girl getting dirty to make popcorn balls. Had a blast!
I am ready to make some popcorn balls with buttery hands.
Let’s go!
My husband and I are going on a new journey in our lives. I want to blog about the whole experience to keep track because this is my life.
For years Jeff and I been trying to have a baby with no success. So now we are going to seek medical help and try to get pregnant that way. It’s funny because I told Jeff that I am happy to do this. Because now we can see why we can’t. Why? I like to have people on my side to help us achieve this.
In society it’s shameful or something if you need help having a baby. I have no idea why? Like we can’t talk about it. I think that is just so stupid. That is why we have places to help people like us to have babies. Doesn’t make any sense to me. I am not ashamed and I will be open about it.
Our first appointment is on Tuesday December 8th 2015. I am nervous because it’s a very long appointment. Not sure what they all are going to ask. I have a general idea but the appointment is an hour and a half. That is very long. I will let you know how that goes. And it really doesn’t say that Jeff has to be there but I think since we both want this we should both go. And besides it’s in Green Bay. I hate driving in Green Bay mostly because I hate roundabouts. At least it’s on the nice side of Green Bay or as Jeff calls it the expensive side. Too funny!
This last part of the year and next year I will be going to a lot of doctor appointments. And not only just for this, I am getting another dental implant. I told Jeff we should just move to Green Bay since we will be there a lot. It will be exciting though.
Jeff has Tuesday to Sunday off this Thanksgiving week and we had plans to do the rest of bathroom but we got totally lazy! There hasn’t been a week or weekend in this house where we have been lazy and it was nice.
We watched some movies if you haven’t watched them yet there will be spoilers. Fair warning.
First we watched Tomorrowland and it was the best movie we watched! It’s an adventure moive with George Clooney. And if you watched the first season of Under the Dome the girl in there was in it. Oh it was so good!
Second one we watched was the Terminator Genisys. I was so disappointed and it was boring as well! They made John Connor the bad guy. WTF?! Why did they do that? He can’t be the bad guy. This Terminator and the one before it has been stupid. Please stop making these.
Third one we watched was the Avengers Age of Ultron. There is this really boring part where they are at Hawkeye’s house. OMG! I wanted to take a nap. Also Hawkeye has a family? I don’t know the comic books but why? Why does he have a family? That part didn’t make any sense to me. I am just glad Captain America doesn’t have a family because I think Chris Evans is hot!
Chris Evan can play anything and I would watch it because he is so good looking! Want to see a good Chris Evans movie? Snowpiercer that was an awesome Chris Evans movie. Anyways he makes a great Captain America.
The movie was good but not as great as the first one.
We didn’t do anything else and it was nice. Also we got our first snow that stayed.
On Thursday November 26 2015 we celebrated Thanksgiving. This year we had it at our house. Every year we stitch next year will be at my Uncle’s house. I like it when it’s at our house. We made everything and this year I made the pumpkin pies for the first time.
Jeff said that the pumpkin pies I made were even better then when he makes them. Wow! That is an awesome compliment.
We just had Ken and Elena come over for Thanksgiving but it was fun! Elena never runs out of things to say she is so silly. We all had a great visit and of course awesome food.
I made the potatoes by hand. Peeling, chopping, mashing and then mixed with sour cream makes delicious mash potatoes. Jeff made the rest of the food. Now we have leftovers for the rest of the week which are the best.
It was a great Thanksgiving.
On Wednesday November 18 2015 night at around eleven at night I heard a loud bang! I looked all around the house looking for what made that sound and then looked outside. One of the trees fell on our house!
Look!
The tree was all the way hollow. Good news no damage! None at all. I am just glad no one was outside when it happened. If one of the dogs got hurt or Jeff, I would cry.
One of Jeff’s co-worker got excited that it was a Cedar tree that fell on our house. Not that a tree fell on our house but that the tree was cedar. He came over and took the tree from house. We didn’t have to pay anyone to take the tree and he is going to take the other tree that is leaning towards our house.
On last Friday November 20 2015 Jeff lets the dogs out and see’s eagles. Lucky. They are pretty!
Finally we had another game day on Saturday November 14 2015. It has been a long time since we had one. Jeff’s friend Gordon gave us a new game to play. I didn’t know he gave it to us till Sunday. He is such a nice guy.
We love to play Bang! Which takes players to western times. It’s a fun strategy card came with funny cards. He bought us the Walking Dead Bang! game. Which was a lot fun to play. This game you have to play four or more players so Jeff and I just can’t play it. That part sucks but having four or more and more is the best part because more opportunities in the game to kill your opponents.
That’s the only game we played but it was fun to see the guys and play the game.
