What if...

We've all had them... the moments we look back at our decisions and try to decipher if they were the best.  Well, every once in a while, I have mine.  Looking back on my miscarriage, I wonder if it was in fact a blighted ovum.  Should I have gotten another ultrasound before the D&C?  Should I have waited just a little longer?  Was it because of my tilted uterus that a baby couldn't be seen?  Was my bleeding that morning just a freak thing?  I mean, I didn't bleed after that.  It was just that one time.  All these questions, and I'll never know the answer.  I know I can't torture myself like this, but it's inevitable.  I don't put myself in a funk over it, I just wonder.  I did ask the tech during the first ultrasound that if my tilted uterus has anything to do with the baby not being seen.  She didn't seem to think that it was an issue.

Ahhh, the questions we constantly ask ourselves.  But we can't look back only forward.  Time to move on Adrianne... time to get on with your life and continue living it.  Just gotta keep trying to be the best person I can be and hoping my next decision will be better than the last.  I can do it, we all can.

Hold on tight and enjoy the ride, how ever bumpy it may be!

Fried Chicken and Ice Box Cake

Last night Peter and I went to my mom's for my birthday cake (ice box cake consists of whip cream and chocolate wafer cookies).  And as part of tradition we went to Zorns (a local chicken place) for yummy fried chicken take out.  I think if I had to chose one restaurant to cater my stay on a deserted island, it would be Zorns.  Mmmm... I could live on their mashed cauliflower.

Tonight we're heading north to my Mom and Step-Dad's house in the mountains with our BFF's.  I love upstate New York.  We plan on a little 9 hole golf, maybe swimming in the lake, and relaxing by the fire with our puppies.

Murdock and Oreo used to have this love/hate relationship, now they're BFF's.  I'm glad that worked out because we might have had to end our human friendship. LOL

Like two old friends having a great conversation.

Happy Friday!!! Enjoy the weekend... I know I will. =)

33 Years, 3 days, 15 hours

So one more trip around the sun and I've come out pretty much unscathed (well almost - I'm definitely stronger).

I need to say that I love my friends, old and new. They know how to make me smile, laugh and hand me a shot when I'm blue. I had the best birthday party ever this past Sunday. It was a small group of us in our backyard. But there was plenty of sangria, food, shots, swimming, and of course laughter. Needless to say Monday was a rough trip back to work, but I did it and lived on a banana smoothie (Uncle Jimmy swears by bananas for a hangover) and water all day. I was glad we didn't lose anyone or end up with a tiger in the bathroom.

I'm hoping that this trip around the sun will be blogged about more. I'm also going to try my hand at a Project 365. I'm going to post a picture a day. I've got a nice new big bag to carry around my camera with me everywhere. So keep an eye out for my life as viewed through my DSLR!

Talk to everyone soon! Have a great Thursday!!
