Hi ladies!
I'm trying to catch up. Congrats to Worms, OCW, and KT (hoping a 3rd beta will ease the torture of waiting). Hugs to Cookie.
I'm sure ive missed some, so hugs and congrats to all who need them.
My trip had a VERY rocky start. I arrived at my hotel and when i unpacked, i discovered two purses had be STOLEN out of my checked luggage. Of course (insert eye roll) they were a gucci and a louie vuitton (both bought in my pre-IF days).
I was so upset, and i felt so violated. I got to PAY for the privilege of checking this luggage....and someone had the NERVE to rob me??!!!
So i missed my yoga class the 1st day, bc i was filing my theft claim w us Air.
The rest of the trip was really nice ( i took the theft in stride). I had a blast w my girls, hiked, lounged, massaged, dined and had a makeover. So it was a really nice time.
Then i got home, and DH told me his last SA was terrible (3 sperm) and he will have to have the mTESE. He actually found out thurs (day of my robbery) but he waited to tell me...bc he thought it would ruin my trip.
So back to reality.... where i got to document my theft and spent today hunting down credit cards receipts for my purses, and pics of them. Good times grrrrrrrrr

Wow, what a shame that your trip got off to such a bad start. Sadly, I'm sure that happens a lot now that you're not allowed to lock your luggage.

Whoa. That's quite a trip. I'm really sorry about Yh's SA. I'm sure that hasn't been an easy thing to deal with. I'm also sorry that your trip started out by being robbed of two really nice purses! But I'm glad you were able to relax a little and I hope you enjoyed your time with friends.
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
