Don't give up on me... I'm going to get back to my blogging one of these days. I'm blaming it on not having our main functioning computer and the fact that I'm totally spent after every day and the thought of opening my computer and putting my thoughts together is just overwhelming... but as time goes by, there is more and more to tell and it gets even more overwhelming. So hang in there, I'm going to get my blogger mojo back one of these days.
This last week is a bit of a blur. Moving backwards in time, yesterday my trip to mayo to talk to "the man" about my scapula surgery (which was supposed to happen today) was cancelled because of freakin' insurance people and general negative feedback from a few other doctors.
Monday we drove home from Hilton Head after my sister got MARRIED! Saturday, Mollie had her wedding at the house I grew up in on Hilton Head. It was gorgeous. The only pictures I have are on my phone and I can't figure out how to get them onto the blog... this is the only one that worked of Larkin and Brooke as flower girls (adorable I know!). I'll figure that out and put more pics on here. Until then, you can see video clips
here,
here,
here, and
here (four parts... Love the videos Tom!). Mollie looked unbelievably gorgeous. Mom looked utterly amazing. It was beautiful. All four kids were in the wedding and really hung in there. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Kinard (or Lynes or Lynes-Kinard... whatever you're going with Mollie).
The thursday before that was my 33rd birthday, which I celebrated by driving with my family to Hilton Head. I thought that Mollie's wedding was going to overshadow my bday (which is fine, I don't love all the attention anyways) but I was pleasantly surprised when everyone was around for a little bday dinner and a cake! Yum! I haven't been with that much family for a birthday since I don't know when... It ended up being very special. Thanks family for making me feel so special.
The Tuesday before that, three of Nellie's teeth finally broke through the gums... Finally! I'm hoping this means she will sleep a bit better!
Finally, the Monday before that, I had the best night EVER when I got to stay alone in a hotel in town. As my post-anniversary pre-birthday present Gregor got a night for me at the hotel. I was a little worried because Nellie hasn't been sleeping through the night, but after a great dinner and a little wine with my friends (Saras, thanks for coming through for me!) I didn't care anymore. I had my first full night of sleep in I don't know how long! It was fantastic. Gregor survived the night as well... Oh, if I could only do that once a month I would be a different person (well probably not, but at least the circles under my eyes might not be so dark).
The week before all of that, Gregor was out of town for a week for work. My dad arrived just in time to give me a helping hand, and somehow, we all survived. That's why I've been a blog slacker.
But.. like I said... hang in there. I've been stockpiling ideas of things I want to write about... one of these days.
