Friday Favorites


Happy Friday Blogland!  Linking up with Amanda this week!  I am sooo happy this week is over.   I was ready for it to be over as soon as it started since we kicked off Monday with a funeral, what a way to start a week.  I am still completely heartbroken by the loss of my co-worker, I just can't get him out of my head.  He was one of my favorites and I will really miss him!  I am ready for this weekend! We have a wedding for some good friends of ours and we are ready let loose and celebrate!


On a more positive note, as the week progressed, things got better.  You might've seen Monday's post, where I was feeling pretty down, but by Tuesday after a doctor's appointment, I started feeling better.  Things are moving quickly this cycle, my transfer is only 18 days away!  I continue with Lupron, start Vivelle (estrogen) patches on Friday along with Doxycycline and pre-natal which I've been taking.  My next ultrasound is the 3rd with transfer set for the 11th.  They also did blood work to check my thyroid and all checks out normal for that!


And I can't believe how close we are to the holidays!  I ordered a Christmas wreath from a co-worker this week that I'm planning to hang on m door at the new house even though we won't be living there!

Favorite Recipe:
I made this super easy beef broccoli & it went over well.  I omitted the sauce because I don't know what "oyster sauce" is but I hate the sound of it so I bought an Asian spice blend at the grocery store and made my own.  

House Update:
Joe has been busting his ass to get the siding on going out there each and every night after work and working until it gets dark which doesn't give him much time these days as winter is approaching fast.  I got the propane all lined up to be trenched & installed (exciting, I know!) in the next couple of weeks so as soon as that is done we will have heat!  Hooray!  I'm hoping for electricity by the end of the month as well!

One full side completely done! Lots more to go!


Love how these bump outs are looking!

  12. I love watching the process of a house being built! I can't wait until my fiancee and I can build our dream home. I remember when my parents built theirs (I was still living with them). There were many nights eating pizza with my parents in that house while there was no electricty or heating & a few camp outs! I can't wait to see your finished product. And that Nicole Richie meme, I love it. I posted it on FB not long ago because I totally relate!

  13. glad you're feeling more positive girl! 18 days, wow! that recipe looks delish, oyster sauce is different here than it is at home so I've never had it here, but I always thought it was like the basic of all basic asian sauces. I have never cooked with it myself lol
