Happy New Year! And the winner is...

Happy New Year everyone!

I'd like to announce the winner of Home Grown Love's first ever give-away...  the prize goes to...

Jenny at Sprout!  Jenny has been TTC for the past few years and just recently received her surprise BFP!  It is super exciting, so give her some love.  The prize will be a hand-made cowl I am working on knitting, but it's not quite done yet.  I'll post a picture of it once it is all finished (hopefully soon!).  Jenny, you can email your address to me through my blogger profile and I'll send it in the mail once it's done.

Thanks again to all my readers/friends for supporting me this year.  This year has been a pretty shitty one.  But let's hope that one shitty year means the next will be better.  DH and I didn't really want to celebrate over this holiday period (plus he was sick, which was a bummer).  As I packed up the Christmas decorations tears streamed down my face, thinking of all that this year should have been, and mourning the fact that another year went by with unfulfilled longings.  We didn't go out to celebrate New Year's last night, but we stayed in playing games (well, chess actually), drinking rum and cokes, watching a movie, and having some, *ahem* 'special' cuddle time.  It was a really nice way to end the year together and ring in the new one on a good note.   At least for a night, the baby-making worries were put aside and we just had a plain old good time.  (And it made up for the massive fight we had the night before, on our anniversary... but more to come on that another time).

Today I am exhausted.  We stayed up late last night and didn't sleep in.  We went for a snowshoe this afternoon which left us both pooped!  I start my new job tomorrow, and in two weekends we head off for DH's brother's wedding and then a vacation.  So I have lots on my mind!  It'll be a busy few weeks, but I'll try to write more when I can.

Until then, Happy New Year!
