We got the chance to kayak and swim each day in Somerset Lake, which was surprisingly warmer than we expected. We were a crew of 14 people, and the weekend was replete with watermelon, hot dogs, barbecuing (for that outdoor taste), swimming, S'More making, kayaking, frisbee throwing, sunblock-wearing, and lots of conversations ending in nonsensical laughter. We miss it already! In the midst of all of this natural beauty and enjoyment, we were contacted by our real estate agent who let us know that a house we looked at the previous weekend in Athens, NY had another couple interested in buying. We had intended to make an offer, but with this added motivation, we tossed our hat into the ring and formally submitted our offer. After some back and forth with the seller's agent, we now await their final decision tomorrow, at which point we'll let you know :)
On the gayby front ... we're headed back to Columbia tomorrow to check out how my follicles look on camera. We're hoping they measure up, and when they hit their growth spurt, then it's time for Round 2 of insemination. It feels like it's been about 6 months since the last insemination, as all of this waiting seems to make time slow down. We've also had a wedding to officiate and sing in, some challenging family health news, a visit from Cristina's mom to the city, house hunting, and this has all been on top of our regular work schedules.
As we reflect on these past few months, we can't help but feel incredibly lucky to have the freedoms to do all that we do and to start a family together rooted in love. Even in the midst of the craziness that is our lives (at times), we wouldn't have it any other way. And we are happy to have you along for the journey!
