September is a lovely month. We get to experience all the lovely changes of Fall. We transition from tank tops, shorts and flip flops to short sleeve shirts, jeans and flip flops.
:)
I happen to have a birthday in September (the 10th) and an anniversary (the 20th). In between the two this year on the 15th I get to meet my potential IPs. Intended Parents) That means I get to meet the lovely couple that are considering me to be there surrogate. They will be coming to Utah next weekend to meet me and my family. WooFreakingHoo!
I've had a few matches fall through this past year, so I'm really hoping that things will move forward with this couple.
I've been e-mailing back and forth with the IM (Intended Mom) for the past month. We seemed to click and both felt a connection right away. I cannot wait to meet her and her husband and little girl.
Wish us luck!
Author of Once Upon a Surrogate: The Stork’s Helpers, started the phrase “I’m not the mom. I’m just the stork”. Surrogacy has opened many doors for me which led to a happier, more rewarding life. (Inactive as far as the Mormon part, still spiritual, open and respectful) My surrobabies were born in 2006 (girl), 2009 (twin boys) and 2014 (girl). I am a huge surrogacy advocate and creative entrepreneur. Hoping to match for one final journey.

Yeah so it's my birthday...
I love Fall. The change of weather is awesome, especially here in Utah. I mean... I just LOVE the Fall colors... leaves mainly, orange and red this time of year. Absolutely beautiful! I also enjoy changing my wardrobe. Hooray for jeans and long sleeve shirts!
Oh and of course my birthday is in the Fall... today to be exact. #33. Not too bad, especially considering I already thought I was 33 earlier this year. See previous post HERE.
So can I just be selfish today and tell you what I want for my birthday? Well I'm going to anyway......
I posted on Twitter the other day that I wanted:
So what am I getting for my b-day?
:)
I'm hoping to have a date night with hubby tonight. I'd like to go to Red Lobster. YUM. (oh I know, that's Red Robin's slogan. Red Robin... YUM! lol, they're good too!) Haven't been there for awhile and we used to go there back in the day. Then tomorrow I'm having a birthday party. I feel like such a little kid. There's a cool new place and it sounded fun. http://www.incrediblepizza.com/ Wanna come?
Happy Friday!

Fall and family
I like Fall. I like the cooler weather. Not looking forward to the freezing cold that is around the corner. Kind of exciting that it started snowing today... but not ready for that! I don't really mind snowy/rainy days as long as I'm not out and about in it... which I'm usually not.
But the point of all my rambling? I can't believe next week is November already. I can't believe this Sunday will be November 1st. I'm already looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. What is better than great food and family? I'm still in the "younger" generation group, so Thanksgiving isn't stressful for me, because I am just in charge of bringing a side dish and/or dessert. So it is rather enjoyable for me. Thanksgiving is spent 80% of the time with John's family. That's just how it's worked out. They are usually our only invite. I'm not complaining... it's good food and good people. My mom usually joins us. My mom and John's mom are friends. (they became friends after we got married) It's kind of weird, but soooo cool!
I'm a dork, that's not our only invite... we are also included in my Stepmom, Kathie's thanksgiving plans. Also good food and people!! Why did I forget to mention that? Hmmm.... getting old? We have been doing the 2 Thanksgiving dinners for a few years now. John's family Thanksgiving is usually around 2:oo PM at a church. We usually catch up with my Kathie's family around 6:30 or so. So grateful to be included and treated like part of the family. Great, great people!!!
Christmas we are all over the place... with John's parents, my Mom and my Dad and Stepmom. We have to split it all up. But I am blessed to have such a big, loving family. That includes everyone- extended family, inlaws, etc. Not a bad bunch!
What about you? Who do you spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with? Do you travel? Stay around town?
