OMG!!

I've gotten in the habit of saying that. Like actually saying, "O.M.G". The letters, not what it stands for. It started out as a joke. You know, like to sound like I'm young and hip and "with it". I was just trying to be obnoxious, because I like to do that sometimes. But now I say it like it's normal and when I really mean to say it. For example, like when I couldn't get Club Penguin to work on our desktop computer. It said to load the latest flashplayer. So I did. Then it told me to load the lateset flashplayer. I was all..."O.M.G! Why isn't this working?!".  I think I need to stop. Pretty soon I'll just be saying "L.O.L" instead of actually laughing out loud. And that would be Lay-ame!

Anyway, so OMG!! I'm doing a blog post. Life has been interesting since my last post, literally. Five days after that post things went downhill. I'll make a long story short. I was pregnant, but now I'm not. Boo-yah! I told you it would be a short story. Oh, okay. I'll embellish a little bit more. It was an ectopic pregnancy. I had surgery but (insert another long story here), so I ended up getting two rounds of methotrexate to end the pregnancy instead. I like telling people it's a chemotherapy drug because, #1- it is. And #2- everyone knows how rough chemotherapy is on cancer patients and it's the only way I can explain how sick the drug made me. I had two weeks of feeling like I drank poison and it was killing me slowly. But, I'm all better now and we can start trying again in January.

Christmas. Last Christmas was a total bust for me. This Christmas is making up for it 100 fold. Christmas miracles, administering angels, and overwhelming sense of peace has come into my life. I know it will be one of the Christmas's I remember the rest of my life. I have never been so excited to see the boys open presents this year. I think I'm going to be crying.

My parents are coming for Christmas. It might be better explained that they are coming to Utah for my niece's baptism but are then staying for Christmas. They arrive tomorrow night. I've planned a week of relaxation for them and lots of hosting for me. This is their 4th extended trip out of town in the last three months. I'm sure my mom is tired of all the travelling and I am prepared to make this visit her easiest one.

We aren't doing Christmas cards this year. So just know that the Curtis family is ready to celebrate Christmas and quickly move on to the new year. We want to leave this one behind us and start anew. We are full of promise and hope for the new year. We think it's going to be a great one!!

Merry Christmas!!!
