Roller coaster... good way to put it, Dee.
I got married in June. That right there should make the whole year great, right? And as wonderful as it was and happy as I am, well... there's the other side.
Husband got a new job in November. It's a great job, better for our finances (and his future possibilities), but it means moving. I hate to leave this area, plus we're going to be farther from our families. So that's sort of an up and down at the same time. I'm still unemployed, and hoping there are more opportunities where we're moving. The good news is, I can remain adviser to my chapter!
My grandfather passed away in March. He kind of went downhill fast. I still have my mom's parents, for which I am grateful, but Pap was the last of my dad's side. Husband's grandfather is in the hospital right now, hopefully not life-threatening, but he's 88 and not in the best of health on a good day.
I also miscarried twins in September. In fact, while our area was getting flooded by TS Lee, I was in the hospital dealing with that. It was my first pregnancy, and in fact we were sort of surprised to get pregnant that fast. Talk about a roller coaster... my first appointment, the doc was concerned - sent me for blood work to test hormone levels, because she wasn't seeing as much development as she thought she should. I went back a few days later and that doc saw two heartbeats. (That was a big "holy s*** we're having TWINS?!" moment for husband and me.) But I went back a week later and if there'd been heartbeats, there weren't anymore.
So yeah, I'd like a few more ups than downs out of 2012.
