Oh Where, Oh Where Have I Been?

Well, not really normal for me to keep the same thing up for almost two weeks, but life just wasn't allowing me to update y'all lately. On Sunday, October 28th, I was bed ridden once again for my annual illness. Seriously about every six months I get very very sick and am bed ridden for at least a week. I have come to the conclusion that I had a cyst rupture on my left ovary, causing me extreme pain and sickness...I spent almost the entire week on pain pills and sleeping, except near the end of the week when I thought I could go back to work and ended up leaving both days early due to pain. If you do the math, you will be able to tell that I was down for the count during Halloween...yep, no trick-or-treats for Lila-Berry...sad story. Halloween we did manage to go to my parent's house so Joel could give candy to the trick-o'-treatahs, but that only lasted for about a hour until I needed to go curl up and take pain pills.**Sigh** I keep telling myself that all this pain and illness that comes upon me often will all be worth it once we have a family, but it really is hard at times to find the strength to endure when it is almost unbearable. It seems that every month I beg to have my "insides" taken out so I don't have to feel the pain anymore, but that isn't very realistic. Oh well...everyone has their own trials.
On a brighter note, soon I will be able to go get all my Christmas decorations and decorate my house! I am so excited! We bought a tree last year after Christmas and we are, for the first time in our four years of marriage, going to have a REAL SIZED Christmas tree! Hooray!

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the post-catch-ups below!
