Memorial Bracelet

Today, I went to pick up the basket I won in the raffle over the weekend. While I was there, I got to pick out an Alex and Ani bracelet that I wanted as part of the prize. This is the one I chose:

It's a team USA bracelet that stands for strength and determination. I liked the meaning of it, but I also chose it in memory of my January Snowflake who should have been born last month. This bracelet is my way to remember the baby we should have, but also to remind me of how strong I am and that I just need to keep working towards our goal of having a child. 

Wine, Chocolate, and Snow

Today, the H and I went to a local winery for a wine tasting. They were having a Valentine's Day special tasting that included cheese, crackers, fruit, and chocolate, so we took full advantage. It was all very yummy, but by the time we left, the snow was really starting to accumulate outside. I got some pretty pictures, but it was slow-going on the way home. We're home safe and sound now, and will probably be opening a bottle of wine soon. I love a good snow storm...and wine. I definitely love wine.






Edited to add.....
I just got an email from the winery that I won a gift basket in a raffle today! The basket has a bottle of sparkling wine (what's in my glass in the picture above), two champagne flutes, chocolates, a certificate for a tasting for 2, and an Alex and Ani bracelet of my choice. Yay me! :)

Cycle 20

Cycle 20 just started. It's hard to believe we've gotten to this point. Cycle 20 just seems that much closer to two years, and I'm feeling down about it. :(

Hopefully the H and I get to celebrate Valentine's Day with lots of wine and chocolate this weekend. I need it.
