Time to play CATCH UP

I haven't blogged in WAY too long! Sorry friends.

So last weekend I got my hair chopped and colored, went to Narrows in Maple Grove where my sister and Ana joined Luke and I. The evening included beer, shots and dancing....of course you only know the dancing happened because of the first 2 things :) I had my work party Saturday and then we went and saw The Sound of Music at the Ordway on Sunday. Needless to say, it was a busy weekend.

Last week, insane at work....I think it was just stressful because I kept thinking of everything I had to do to prepare for Christmas. I feel a little bit like a Grinch this year. I didn't really put the time and care into peoples presents like I usually do and really didn't have the money too either.

However, this past Friday = NOT FUN! I get this sharp pain in my lower right side when I move a certain way. Well I was sitting at work on Friday, went to get up and had such excruciating pain that I had an Adrenalin rush and almost fainted. I was shaking, dizzy, running a slight fever and sick to my stomach after that. After a call to my mom the nurse and then my doctor, I was informed to go into the ER RIGHT AWAY! I was scared to death!

The hospital was traumatic for more than 1 reason. As I was being examined by the doctor he says to me, "So I looked over your chart and it looks like you had an elected Abortion." I looked him straight in the eye and yelled, "NO!" and then started balling. How insensitive could a doctor be! Then he says, "well Anencephalcy." NO SHIT! SHUT UP YOU BASTARD!!! That is what I wanted to yell. As he pushed on the right side of my stomach where Brian Lucas had been all I could do was cry.
This time of year has been really hard for me, I don't know if it is because what we faced this last year or why, but it has been difficult.

Also, I keep having dream about Bethany and Kurbis. Seriously, every night. I have dreams that I am in Africa with her and she is showing me around, introducing me to everyone she has met and the beautiful land. Bethany, know I am with you in my dreams! :) Ok, that sounded a little too much, but you know what I mean :)

As far as Christmas is concerned, I can't believe it is tomorrow. AHHHHH!!!! Then Luke and I leave on Wed. for Toronto.

Also, I wanted everyone to know that I don't think I am sending a Christmas card this year. I know I have sent one for the past 3 years, but Seriously Christmas came soo fast this year I haven't had any time to do anything, I just finished up shopping yesterday!

Well Luke and I wish you all the best this Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Love, Ali
