Joy and Sorrow

So it's been a little while since I blogged. I took an amazing vacation November 15 - 26! Quinn and I explored a little bit of Baltimore, we cruised the Eastern Caribbean (San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas; Samana, Dominican Republic; Labadee, Haiti) and finished up with a day in Washington, DC and the surrounding area. I have pictures, but I don't have them hosted anywhere so I can't share them. :) Yet.

There's still no progress on the baby front. I've been on birth control for the past month per doctor's orders. Once my cycle begins, I am supposed to call in for an appointment. I'm not sure what will happen at that appointment, but it might be the X-Ray he's been talking about for a while. Hopefully it will help. The timing would be perfect if we could get pregnant soon. I have Spring semester that will be crazy, then I'll just have one class over the Summer and I'll be done with school. Which would be great timing! :) Maybe God just wanted me to be done with school before having a baby.

So Friday night was our Christmas party. And, as always, it was a terrific time and this year I was very fortunate! I was voted as a Spirit of Express winner. Big deal to me, if no one else! I started shaking and crying once I realized that Linda Sasser was talking about me, so I didn't really know what was being said. I got some really good compliments, which felt really heartfelt. For instance, Trey Simonton, one of my cube mates congratulated me and said that it was two years overdue. He said that some of the things that were said weren't part of his nomination so it seems like I was nominated by more than one person. That was just awesome to hear! Then Bob Fellinger, the Executive Vice President of Sales, stopped me briefly to say that he was really glad I won because I really am what the award is all about. :) There were more, but I have already taken too much time from Quinn. So, I'm going to go right now. I'll type more later.
