Re-

  • Reproductive endocrinologist
  • Remodeling
One shared prefix - two seemingly dissimilar words - so much in common.
  1. Involvement with either gets your hopes up for a positive outcome.
  2. Both involve more money than you ever thought you would spend on things you cannot see.
  3. You wait, and wait, and wait, and then hurry up to do some stuff, then wait, and wait and wait again.
  4. Life as you knew it ceases to be as you focus on the process at hand.
  5. Even your strongest relationships will be taxed.
  6. Nothing goes exactly as you planned the first time around (as predicted by the aforementioned prefix).
  7. Most importantly, you might get what you want in the end. However, luck must be on your side.

I've never been all that lucky. Nonetheless, after four long months of remodeling, we're back in our house as I type this post. And thankfully, with a better end result than we got after spending four long years with our RE.

Thanks to all who supported us during this trying time - your love and friendship make me feel blessed, indeed.

GREAT to hear that you're finally back home! Four months of not having a permanent residence is a long time and I'm not quite sure how you got trough it in one piece. All I know is that I'm glad you did. :)

When you're ready for company, I'd love to see the remodel.

Hope you guys are going to the WF meeting on Saturday. If you are, want to eat really light and catch some dinner or drinks and appetizers afterwards?

Donna :)
