    I love(d) my Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner.  I like spending the day with all my family.  My grandma passed away this year so I'm hoping it will still be a good holiday.

    4th of July. I love everything about it. Celebrating our Patriotism, fireworks, summer weather, grilling with friends and family, festivals/fairs, parades. We chose our wedding date not because of the 777. I always planned on getting married the weekend of the 4th. That year it was on a Wednesday. We chose the following Saturday and it made for a nice long celebration with family coming from out of town. It was only after that we realized what date we had picked.
    DX PCOS w/IR 01/08.
    Currently pg with our 1st after 6.5 yrs of IF (thank you IVF)

    4th of July - our family gets together and puts on our own firework show, which is fun to watch. I love Americana / patriotic decor (it's our livingroom's theme).

    TTC 7+ years - 3 failed IUI's; not going the IVF route; stopped treatment December 2013.

    Became licensed for Foster Care: March 2011
    Adoption Finalized: December 2013
