25 Random things about me:

To help you get to know me a little better and having done this on Facebook here you go:

1. I live in Las Vegas, and no I do not live on the strip, work on the strip, or even go there that much. We really do have normal houses and lives here in sin city.

2. I hate pushing the buttons at the gas station at the pay at the pump, the germs freak me out.

3. I have a serious obsession with purses and sunglasses, from Coach to Dior and Chanel I have a problem. Thank goodness its a easy gift for my husband to buy me, its a one shop deal.

4. I grew up in a small town in Ohio, was in 4-H, had horses, shoveled manure, and wouldn't change a thing about that.

5. I could not live without my Blackberry and debit card. Those are must haves when leaving the house.

6. I have a tanning addiction- I must go- now not to the point where I always look like I got back from Cancun, but I like to have a little color at all times.

7. I am a neat freak about my car- it must be clean inside and out.

8. I have OCD about leaving my curling iron plugged in- I check it about a dozen times before leaving the house and I call my husband at least once a week to have him check before he leaves for work, and yes its an automatic shut off one- so I really don't know why I worry about it.

9. Becoming a mom is the most important thing to me right now, and I will not let anyone or anything stand in my way.

10. Target is my weakness- I cannot walk out of there without buying something.

11. I met my husband on the Match.com.

12. I have never tried mustard or ketchup and do no intend to ever try it.

13. I am obsessed with the color pink, my engagement ring is even pink. I know I better have a girl! HAHA

14. I refuse to use bar soap, it must be liquid soap

15. I love tennis, used to play all the time, and definitely need to get back into it.

16. Obsessed with Sex and the City- I can recite pretty much the entire show- fall asleep to it every night, I have every season on DVD and I am a total Charlotte.

17. I would not consider myself patient- although infertility has taught me patience in a way I never thought I could understand.

18. Infertility has brought out not nice traits in me, I hate that. But I have learned a lot about myself.

19. I shave everything, everyday! I hate stubble, okay well not my head, but you get the idea.

20. I have OCD about dusting and vacuuming- I do it a lot.

21. I have a serious issue with post its- I love them and they are everywhere all over my office.

22. I am always early, NEVER late, and lateness drives me nuts!

23. I love going out to eat, I don't mind cooking, but just would prefer to go out- I think the food tastes better!

24. Love dogs, hate cats, hate snakes even more.

25. I try to be tough, but really I am not, its all a front!

Recovering From Christmas

Well, it has been nice to have a few days since the holiday to recover. It again was a great holiday, lots of great gifts. I got a beauitful Coach wallet to match the Coach purse John got me for my birthday. Its so pretty, I have moved all my stuff into it already, I desperately needed a new wallet. I also got the second Twilight Book, New Moon, I am already half way through it, it's so good!

We had a great time having the family over on Christmas Eve, this is the first year we have had a house large enough to hold everyone, so it was great to have everyone at our house. My nine year old niece told me that I need a baby, I told her I couldn't agree with her more. Then she started to tell me about different things and I was so amazed that I was talking to a nine year old, she is so freaking smart it's almost scary.

John had a great time with our 4 year old newphew River, he was playing Spiderman with him. I had the greatest feeling seeing John with him, I had all these visions of John playing with our kids. It was nice becasue it reassured me that we will one day have children of our own to share the holidays with.

To add to a great Christmas I actually ovulated on my own on Christmas day. Yes I know this may not seem like a big deal to most people, but I have not ovulated on my own without the help of fertility drugs since summer, so I was thrilled!

John and I went to midnight mass and it was so nice, I really love the Christmas mass. There were moments that I had tears come to my eyes watching all the families, and I have to admit the the majority of my prayers were asking God to bless us with a baby when he is ready for us to recieve it.

All and all it was a great holiday, I did miss my mom and step dad, but I will see them soon and hopefully they will be with us next Christmas.
