We finished our summer with a little trip to St Louis. Oh, how I love living close to a city far enough away and with enough to do that it seems like a vacation! We began our trip with a stop at Meramec Caverns. Grace is a rock collector, so she thought this place was the greatest. It amazes me what is underground there!
We visited the Mills Mall, which is just a neat place to go, shopping or not. It was just fun. We stayed at the Drury Plaza by the arch which I will recommend to anyone. It was one of the greatest stays I have ever had, it was just too short! Aren't all hotels stays usually too short though?! The evening wasn't to unbearably hot so we walked around the arch and walked along the riverfront. It was so nice, just some amazing alone time with my family. The next day we went into the arch and I was made to go to the top. Of all the times I have been there, I always wait at the bottom while whoever I'm with goes to the top. b.o.r.i.n.g.! Though I was semi-freaked out, this was waaaaay better! We visited the Magic House, which is always a good time. Good fun for kids of all ages!
We went to our niece Katie's volleyball game last week in Mayfield Ky. I played volleyball in school and I get a little too worked up about the games, but it's fun to watch. I will say though that Kentucky volleyball is waaaay different that So IL volleyball. They are very lax on the coaching! If we had made the mistakes that these teams did, clipboards would have been slammed! We did get hollered at, but we were good! And good players make for fun volleyball watching! Well, that didn't sound right. It was fun watching Katie's team anyway, it was just different. She has fun playing and that's all that matters! Now I feel the need to go catch some Redbirds ball!!
I have been back to the dr. in stl. and my bloodwork came back fine except for my glucose test. So, we are working on that. I had a mock transfer and endo biopsy on tuesday and am waiting the results from that. Not sure yet when we are going to go ahead with another cycle. Not soon enough for my sister though! She wants it started yesterday! I can't blame her though, I know how excited I am about Chace so I know she is ready for me to have one. I've been doing acupuncture and I am not impressed with it. Of course I don't see any improvement on the inside, um, because I can't see my insides; but I definately don't notice anything else either. It does not relax me at all! But, only time will tell.
Grace starts school today. Well, she goes to find her teacher and get papers. School really starts tomorrow. Never understand that....starting on a friday? Anyway, we're at the intermediate school across town now in the big 3rd grade! I hope she loves it! Thisgs are coming along nicely for her 9th birthday party. She is so excited, I'm so excited, we're all excited! I may be going overboard but the way I see it, I'll bet that there won't be but another year or so of actual "parties" before it will just be friends spending the night and such. Why not make the most of the parties we have left to give?!
Enjoy your day and be thankful for all that you have!
