crene84

I am unexplained and have been trying for almost a year and a half.  I joined to find others in my same situation because my family history is very fertile and I wasn't expecting to have a hard time.  It helps to see that I'm not alone.

DH surprised me with real pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. He hid the earrings in an ornament that has to be opened with a key. He wrapped the key in a big box and I was very confused.  It took me a minute to figure out what the key went to..very sweet!

I have been missing Grey's Anatomy..wondering when it's coming back!

For New Year's, I'm meeting some friends in the Outer Banks (NC beaches) which should be nice.

Hope everyone has a great day!
