Today is My 111th Birthday!

The holidays are over and gone. It was really great spending them with Kasey and seeing family and I genuinely enjoyed the holidays. It was fun shopping for Kasey and wrapping his presents. And New Year's passed as well. We have a few goals including saving money and getting toned. 

Work has been going really well and I was telling Kasey tonight at dinner how much I really love it. It's so different from what I'm used to. I mean, obviously there's a lot that is the same, especially lately with the stress picking up with the amount of orders that keep popping up in my emails. But I love it. There's so much less drama in my department than I've ever had at any job. Everyone at work not in Research seems to hate their job so much and there's so much stress and drama for them. And I feel bad talking about how amazing it is to have a great boss and good people to work with.

It's my 26th birthday today. I cannot believe that I am 26 today. I've gotten several comments today about how I look barely 20 and that feels really great. I think it feels kind of bittersweet mostly because our 26th month of trying for kids is just about over. I feel better today about it than I did last week. Today hasn't been so bad. I've just come to not expect or plan big things for my birthday anymore. So Kasey and I just got back from a nice dinner at Red Robins. It was really tasty and it's a nice quiet evening like I really enjoy and it's all I could ask for. Kasey got me new running shoes, a really nice workout hoodie, and a couple of bottles of wine.

I had a doctors appointment last Thursday. With the pain that keeps increasing and a new good sized cyst that was found, I will be having surgery next Wednesday or the one after. I have a followup tomorrow to finalize a date. It seems like its happening really quick. But we had the conversation a couple of months ago, so I mostly knew it was coming. I had been hoping that we would be pregnant instead, but such is life. 

So this will be the next step to moving forward and getting me to feel better. We appreciate all of the support that comes our way. I'm scared and nervous. But we need answers and I need to feel better. And Kasey has been a wonderful support and is always on my side and I love having someone there for me the way he is. It's really great. and he puts up with a lot of my shit, ie: being sick or having something wrong with me ALL THE TIME. He's my rock :)
