going back to MI





We're heading back to MI this weekend for our best friend's baby shower and to get together with some of our friends for our annual Griswold Christmas gathering. I am happy that we are keeping busy while being back in MI for the weekend and then for next week too. I think this year is even worse than last year and the only thing I can think of is that I was trying sooo hard to be healthy and positive as possible while I was pregnant. I gotta tell ya, it was tough. 2 months after they were killed, I was pregnant. It was devastating to be going through that and not having the support of your Mom and then not having them through the baby shower and the arrival of our baby....Ugh... it was a nightmare actually, but a part of me is just so thankful I did have the relationship I did with my Parents and how my Mom was my best friend but as I've said so many times, it also makes it that much harder. And there's always regrets. Should of...could of...would of....it's hard. 

We had a little Holiday lunch today at the office. We ate a ton of Food, I actually made from scratch, a chocolate tart (see in picture for proof) and exchanged funny Christmas presents. I work with a great group of people and the office has been positive lately which I need. 

Looking forward to a fun festive girls day on Saturday for my friend Mel and then to put on my Christmas sweater Saturday evening for drinks with friends. Elle is looking forward to seeing Family and friends. 

My Grandfather is out of the hospital and resting and my brother had his surgery and it went good from what my Sister shared.  I bought him a Christmas card tonight. What do I say to him...
