update since end of October

New Bedroom set is in and loving it- a matching bedroom set has been due for along time.

My SVT Catheter Ablation surgery on my heart on Thurs Nov 18th was a successful.  I haven’t had any episodes since then and I can’t wait to lead an active lifestyle again.  My follow up visit indicated that the SVT is gone and it’s safe to try for children now- woo hoo!

Home Remodel is completed except for a few finishing touches such as crown molding and curtains.  The new space is beautiful and it feels like we’ve had that space the whole time since being married.  It feels like it’s always been part of the house.  

Thanksgiving was a huge hit with the family.  Lots of people, lots of food was brought, lots of love was shared.  I really loved opening my home (finished or not) to my family.  My Mom’s parents really instilled the power of family get togethers and I love that my husband and I like to entertain to family and friends.  Our home is also more accommodating for larger parties :)  That was the whole intention.  Plus, there is an extra bedroom and bathroom which is away from the rest of the home.  A private little casita set aside from the family room.  

Work has slowed down which brings more opportunity to update databases that are long over due.  More opportunity to do reports that will help my job be easier come the New Year.

My company sent a co-worker and I to an event in Los Angeles.  We were in the gifting suite area for the celebrities passing out our product (as gifts) and meeting celebrities.  It was a blast.  It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I felt so lucky that I could go and represent my company.  The topic was hush hush for a while to prevent animosity.  There were jealous ones but what can you do???

This Friday, I am flying to Vegas to spend a quick weekend with my Mom.  I hope to see my friend Jennifer while I go to Vegas.  We are suppose to have lunch on Saturday somewhere, it will be a good chance to catch up since I haven’t seen her in a while.  Then my Mom and I leave bright and early on Sunday Dec 20th and drive back to my house.  My Mom will be spending her Christmas week with us.  Lots going on this next week and I have a lot of wrapping left to do. YIKES!

I still have to decorate the tree and we got our tree on Saturday.  I’m a bit of a procrastinator right now.  The tree is huge and our 3 strands of white lights just barely made it around.  Hopefully I will get motivated after I post this blog.

New Year’s news forthcoming- really exciting and will write next time so I can update all the stories.  I’m sure there will be stories.

    I hadn’t been here in a while - just wanted to let you know I stopped by! I loved your dust post. Is the dust gone now?!

    Yes, the dust is gone. Thank god for Molly Maids. They helped tremendously. The house was so bad in November but now it’s clean and manageable. My Mom was a huge help too.
