Only 2 months until Christmas!!!

Only 2 months until Christmas. If you don't know how much I love Christmas ... then why are you reading this blog because you obviously don't know me. I am SO excited for Christmas. No matter what is happening around me, I can just relax, mellow out and have a good time. It's the one time in the year that I can just stroll through the mall and listen to Christmas music. Everyone is so busy rushing round getting presents and I just don't care about presents ... don't get me wrong I love giving them and getting them, but still, it's not about that for me. For those of you who hate Christmas ... go to Hawaii.

Here's a cutie picture of Dustin and Samantha. I find they both look like their parents. They are cousins in case anyone is wondering. They were born 5 days apart in August. They are SO Cute. I wish Dustin would have been looking at the camera though. Oh well. :D

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Mary Jean. She is 52 years old today. By the way ... in case you don't know who that is. It's Corey's mom.

Please don't ask.

Please don't ask. It's really simple. When we are pregnant and we want you to know, believe it or not, we will tell you. I am so exhausted and frustrated at people asking me that. We've had a super rough year and it's not even over yet. Perhaps if I give background, people won't ask if I'm pregnant yet and will instead ask about my work, or my horses or ... I don't know ... my sex life.

In case you weren't aware ... Corey and I lost a baby in June 2006. It was the hardest time I have ever had in my entire life. That being said, I am tough and have survived. I speak openly and bitterly on that subject. I never understood what a loss was and thought it would be different somehow. I love my husband more because of how he helped me through it and please respect us. Corey is the best husband in the world and despite his ... habits and hobbies (you all know what I mean) I love him to death.

We have also recently lost another baby this October 2006 and no I am not ready to talk about that one, but I am much more at peace about it. I do not want to hear your opinion on why I may have miscarried. I do not want to talk about when we are going to try again. And do NOT guess about when we are pregnant or not, at least not to my face, behind my back I don't care.

If you are a pregnant woman or a woman with a new baby, please understand that I am THRILLED about your happiness. I honestly am, but I may not respond that way. If anyone wants to say ... oh well try again ... please try to hold back.

If you have been through a miscarriage and have the slightest idea what could possibly be going through my mind, then feel free to email me or talk to me. I just don't want to talk about upcoming possible pregnancies. I will ... on the other hand ... talk about the decor in our nursery. I am a very optimistic person and here is my theory.

1 out of every 4-5 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. Sometimes even 1 out of every 2-3. I have 4 sisters. If I have to be the 1 out of every 4-5 then okay. I would never want my sisters to deal with what I had to deal with. It hurts, it's hard and it's not my idea of fun.

On a more positive note, and I will only say this once, the third time's the charm right? (IF I didn't get that analogy right, someone please let me know lol)

Love Corinne

Moose Hunting

Stupid Cold

ARGH! A stupid cold. I hate colds, they make my nose burn and itch and i have to BLOW it all the time. And I sniffle, and I annoy myself more than anything. At least my appetite hasn't suffered yet, although it is rather lazy. At least Christmas is almost here. *sniffle* Coughing hurts, swallowing hurt, mostly everything is sore and hurting. Hopefully Corey doesn't get it while he's moose hunting.
