9 Weeks

Hello Everyone,

I had a really nice time in Michigan this last weekend. It felt so good to share the news with our family and friends. I was really feeling bad last week, I think it was the worst yet. I was nauseous from the moment my bladder woke me up in the morning until I managed to get my uncomfortable body to sleep at night. I was really worried about making it through the flight to Michigan on Friday, but then a miracle happened. I woke up and actually felt pretty good, still a little nervous/excited about seeing everyone, but generally feeling 'normal'.

I am so glad I was able to make plans to come last minute and see everyone. I had a nice lunch in Royal Oak with Jacquie...sorry I couldn't taste the wine :) I went to see both Lauren and Michelle play soccer, (they both won). I surprised Tim's family that I was in town and went with them to our friends Jay and Heather's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. On Sunday, my Dad took Mom, me, and Michelle sailing at Kensington. It was quite relaxing except for the musical seats we played to turn the boat around :) All in all it was a great trip. It was nice to see the leaves changing and feel the cooler fall air. When I returned home to Houston the heat index was pushing 100 and the only leaves turning color(brown) were the dead ones from lack of water.

Love,
