one hundred followers & a retirement party....time to celebrate!

It is time to break out the balloons, cake and champagne (or in my case...punch) and do the celebration dance!  Today is a big day!  My Dad is joining my Mom in the best job of their lives.... retirement.  Just a little open note to my parents.... your first grandchildren are on their way so soak up the free time full of bliss, adventure and traveling now please... I am going to need you in oh let's say four or five months.

I was so happy to see that lovely "100" this morning on my blog.  I have been waiting for it for a while now and am so thrilled that one hundred of you openly follow my blog!  I have to say that I was tempted to host a giveaway of some sorts to lure you up to that number but I am happy that I held out.  One of these days I am sure a giveaway will make its appearance on this blog so you haven't lost out!

I have been blogging for six months and it all started here.... in an attempt to lose my worries in a virtual world.  I was so lucky to gain so much support early on.  I will never forget why I started this blog and the role it played in getting me to this point and of course sharing in the celebration of the best day ever.

So cheers to a great day!  Thank you for helping me get here!  Pull out your party dress and celebrate with me!
Xoxo,
Ashley

    congrats to your parents and to you on your blog. I follow you through google reader as I bet others do so your following is probably even a little higher than 100.

    Howdy!

    I'm happy to say I am your 102nd FOLLOWER!!! YAY! I find your blog refreshing!
    By the way Congrats on the twins!!! Good job, mom! ;)

    I was just wondering, what made you go the IVF route? Was it just the poor SA? Were there any issues on your side? PCOS? Endo? Ovulation?
    Did you find your wait for an RE, let alone proceeding with IVF, a LONG wait?
    My husband is Canadian and I am American, so when we moved here, that was the hardest part for me. Since we had already started our "journey" in the states and then moved to Alberta fall of 2010, we have had to start from square one, again! :(
    Is there any advice you could give? And words of wisdom?
    Please feel free to email me, mrs.sunnysideup@gmail.com or follow along at www.roadtoreproduction.blogspot.com

    I look forward to following your journey!

    HUGS!
    Mrs. Sunnyside Up

    hitting the 100 followers mark is kind of cool isn't it! I just hit mine too :)
    Congratulations, if that is the kind of thing worthy of congratulations, it is, right?
    In any case, congratulations on your beautiful babes growing stronger and bigger every day! Incredible!
    Take care and keep writing :)
