Happy New Year!

It's that time again. Time for new beginnings and the opportunity to start new.

My top five happy things about 2012:

1. I finally married my love. Couldn't be happier to start spending the rest of our lives together. ;)

2. My family is healthy. We were able to spend holidays together. I don't know how many more years my grandparents have in them, but I am grateful for every minute I get to spend with them. My greatest personal wish is that they get to meet our children.

Mi y mi abuela, nochebuena.

3. We have enough. While I might not have everything I *want*, we have everything that we *need*. That makes us very lucky and blessed beyond measure.

4. We have a wonderful home (that we rent) and I am lucky to have both of my brothers living with us. We get to spend time together that we wouldn't if we lived apart. I am also within close distance to most of my family. I have wonderful pets that give me lots of love.

5. I am felicitously fortunate enough to have a wonderful set of "in-laws". This is especially true of my MIL (or as she would say, "Mother in Heart") who is always a ray of sunshine, and supports us in all we do.

Consult Appointment

Yay, I got an appointment with Seattle Reproductive Medicine in January! Initially it was set for Dec, but there was an issue with insurance and I didn't get added on to the plan. They would have "fixed it", but would have back-dated premiums to the date we got married. Not really worth it. We decided to just reschedule.

Oh man, there is SO MUCH PAPERWORK to fill out! It's super crazy, but I will do anything.

We are thinking about moving to my moms for a couple of months so we can save money for a down payment on a house. Rent isn't cheap!

I'm almost 27 you guys. Crazy.
