Its been a while....

Looks like I haven't posted for over a month! OOPS :) Well I'm at work and a little distracted but here are a few things that have been going on...I'll try to post pictures later.

- Matt turned 25 on the 10th! He is so old now lol...we went out to Gustavs and had some yummy fondue! I got him Mixed Martial Arts classes to try out for a month :) we'll see how that goes, he seemed to like them!

- After 14 years of going to different Dr's in hopes of discovering why I have such high blood pressure we think we FOUND IT!!! I had an echocardiogram, MRI, and blood tests a week ago and they discovered that my right kidney is very shrunken, as well as the artery leading to it. I was probably born with this and there is about a 90% chance that I will need to have it removed. :( Scary.

- Matt has his Insurance License test this week and if he passes he will be able to start working with Farmers as an Agent

- I cut two inches off and added brown streaks in my hair :) I was tooo blonde so its a nice change

- Teaching Sunbeams so far has been a learning experience. I have eight three year olds, 2 girls and six boys. Sitting in Primary again is a flashback, and I have definitely forgotten a lot of primary songs lol...I have two boys that are really tiring and hard to handle. Talk about testing my patience. Its funny to see how each kid is soooo different. The girls are my little helpers and act like angels, and 4 of the boys are hyper as ever and think class time is karate class. And the other two boys are all about telling me who is doing what and why they are breaking the rules. Aye. I need to start taking Sunday naps. lol but it is fun thats for sure! They say the funniest things!


Thats about it for now :) Hope everyone had a happy new year!

Freaking out.

So, I've never really had a (what I consider) 'real' calling in the church...The closest its come to is an activities coordinator for the singles ward lol that didn't take much work....

I found out last night that I have been called as a Primary teacher. I'm freaking out. This may be the next easiest calling ever lol but I'm totally nervous. I don't know how much these kids know or how many kids I'll have or if I know how to teach!!!! I'm freaking. Ugh.

Tree time!

Putting on the LAST ornament......
Thank goodness for the tall person...Matt putting on the final touch


Me and stinky. She's not that fat, I swear lol
Ta Da!


Merry Christmas everyone! And to top it off, its SNOWING!!! Snow is great and exciting and all but personally, I hate it. I hope it doesn't stick! I think its the driving factor that freaks me out the most with snow, but if it DOES stick then I can't WAIT to get out of work tomorrow :)

Free time



These past couple days have given me a lot of down time and a lot of free time. The result? I started a project. :) So I've gotten bored of my red and yellow living room and decided I wanted to go blue brown and cream instead. But, paintings are expensive and we are not in a place to spend money on that. So....I painted one myself. lol Matt found this to be funny, but I was serious! We now disagree on whether this painting should go up or if we should keep the old one until we can buy one. I need your help!!! Please vote on what one you like better lol and do NOT vote for mine in the sake of not hurting my feelings because seriously, they won't be hurt!!! Sorry about the bad picture quality :)



OLD WALL:


NEW WALL:

Keep in mind, this is only one wall lol theres more candles, pillows, mirrors, etc. to add.

Thanks!

Changes

For those of you who do not know, last week my Dr. discovered that I am miscarrying. They do not know the cause, but they do know that even though I was 10 weeks, the pregnancy stopped progressing at 5 weeks. This weekend I experienced horrible pains and was admitted to the ER for a dnc. (I think thats what its called) It sped up the process and relieved me of alot of pain. I was put on a medicine 7 times more powerful than morphine (WOA) and was able to go home that same night. Matt and I are very shocked and saddened by what has happened, but we know that all of this has a reason and purpose to it. This entire experience has taught us so much and brought us closer together. What a roller coaster of emotions. We are now more excited and more prepared to start a healthy family someday. The pain is not so bad, I must say that the effects of the breathing tube have given me the most pain today with a sore throat and chest. I will be glad when this is over and so much more prepared for the next time...The pictures above you can thank my mother for lol the two smiles are fake :) the middle one is how I truly felt all drugged up. Thank you for everyones support in what has happened, I am so glad to have such a close and loving family
