Happy Anniversary

CAUTION: Sappiness ahead!

WOW! It's been 13 years ago today that I became Mrs. Emily LeBrun. To say I'm blessed is truly an understatement. I have loved every single minute of married life and I cannot imagine my life without Thom. I've actually been with Thom since September 4th, 1990. Soooo, we've been together for 18 years...that's half my life. HALF my life I've gotten to spend with my soul mate, how lucky am I?

I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday. I got my hair and nails done that day and I remember the nail lady commenting on how calm I was. Of course I was calm, I was excited, there was nothing to be nervous about. I COULDN'T wait to get married and begin my life with Thom. There was no nervousness because I knew he was the one. I'm not going to be cliche' and say that I knew it the moment I met him...but it was pretty darn close.

Happy Anniversary Thom. Thank you for your love, support and comfort. You know I wouldn't be able to get through this if you weren't by my side. Thanks for putting up with me! :)

Ok, sappiness over. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress...

Captain Mayonnaise has been staying with us since Friday. Now he's sick too. Sucker! So the whole household has been coughing, sneezing and blowing their noses. Thanks Kleenex!

AND, I'm happy to report that we will be getting DVR!! We have crossed into the 21st century! It gets installed on Saturday! I won't have to miss my favorite TV shows anymore because I'm tired! I'm so excited, it's going to revolutionize our lives! LOL

Halloween is on Friday. The neighborhood kids finally get to go trick-or-treating ON Halloween, imagine that! Every year since we've moved in, they would hold trick-or-treating like a week ahead. And it's always at like 4pm. It's kind of crummy because a lot of people aren't even home at that time. My favorite part of Halloween is giving out the candy and seeing all the kids dressed up. And I miss it almost every single year. It really is a bummer.

That's it for now. Talk to you all soon!

Update

Got my monthly shots and here are the results of the blood tests:

Again, I apologize for the lousy table.

Not much has been going on, I'm still driving. I made it to my favorite store, "The Purple Onion" in West Brookfield, so as a gift to myself for going that far, I bought some stuff. I love that store, it's all country furniture and decor. Love it love it. AND I stayed by myself at the house yesterday while Thom went to work (he was on call). I'm pretty proud of myself! I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel...let's just hope it's not a train!! :)
