Subject: Re: JESS--about NYC. Author: Elisa [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:36:15 03/10/05 Thu In reply to: Emily 's message, "Re: JESS--about NYC." on 09:07:53 03/10/05 Thu Jess--I definitely want to come to your beachhouse when you write your novel, and soon after that I'll find a bunch of money and take us all back to London and we'll have tea at the Orangery. I'm sorry NYC is crappy right now, and I'm sorry about your pregnancy frustration. I can't empathize (yet) but I am nervous about pregnancy when Ryan and I decide it's time because I've had so many health problems growing up that I expect getting pregnant and being pregnant could present some challenges. On a side note, there's a couple in our ward who Ryan home teaches and I visit teach and they have been rather obnoxious about telling us we should have kids NOW. They are very young and got pregnant right after they were married and think that everyone should do it that way. A few months ago when Ryan was hometeaching them one night, they got on the subject of children and the girl said, "Ryan, there is something so spiritual about not preventing pregnancy." ???? Now, that is kind of a bold and intrusive statement by itself, but you also need to remember that I've spent about 65% of our first year of marriage SICK with mono, asthma and other problems and there is no way that my body could have handled pregnancy. This girl knows how sick I've been--I can't believe how some people can be so insensitive. Anyway, Jess, sounds like you know all about people being insensitive. I think you need to plan a little vacation for yourself to get away from NYC and the cold and have something to look forward to. Do you have spring break coming up? It's getting warmer here in Utah--maybe you could plan a trip out here. Or better yet, find someone in Southern California who you could visit. Jet Blue usually has good deals. When I was completely swamped with work during the legislative session Ryan and I made plans to go down to Las Vegas for our anniversary (we're actually leaving today) and when I felt like I couldn't handle the stress anymore I'd just think about our trip and that helped me keep going. I hope the DC job works out for you and Dave. And I hope the pregnancy situation (both for you personally and dealing with all your friends) improves. And please know that you can talk to us anytime you need to vent or anything else. We love you and are always here for you. Take care, Elisa [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
