Loving 2010

Justin and I enjoy watching Biggest Loser.  I get excited each time a new seasons starts up.  Most Tuesday nights we flop down on the couch with brownies or ice cream to enjoy while we watch the contestants get their tails kicked in the gym... but this week, we added a touch of class.  This week we enjoyed this...

while we watched the show :) 

A little sidenote.... don't you just love popping open champagne?  I love letting the cork fly through the air, although our cats don't enjoy having a projectile fall on them.  Only afterwards do I consider the possibility of ceiling damage.  Normally Justin exercise great self control but this week, he decided to give the cork a flight lesson ;)

Mmmmm.

By now you're probably amazed that we popped open the bubbly to celebrate Biggest Loser, right?  Maybe not if you know us.  That wasn't the reason.  We actually did have a reason to celebrate.  Many of you have been so faithful in praying over us these last 14 weeks as my body has recovered from the latest miscarriage.  Yup, it's been 14 weeks.  My body decided to take it's time removing the hormones (specifically the Hcg which is a pregnancy hormone) from my system.   After countless trips to the lab and many bruises and tears later, we finally got the news we've been waiting for on Tuesday.  My levels are at ZERO!!!  Woo hoo! 

For me, this was huge because it's given me closure.  Thank you Jesus.

We're so excited to be moving on... but I have this reminder of the baby we'll meet one day in heaven. 

Have I mentioned grateful I was to be done with 2009?  HELLO 2010!
