barf bucket... round 2

remember when i went to the hospital because i thought i had appendicitis? and it turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst? well, this is my life.

tuesday... the day started out perfectly fine, i didn't have work and Kyle didn't have school. we slept in and decided to start putting stuff into storage since we are moving on the 22nd. we made to trips to the storage unit and got a lot of boxes and other things put away. somewhere in there i started to notice i had a stomach ache but didn't think anything of it. we hung out until kyle went to work and i was just watching some tv when my stomach really started to bother me so i took a bath, but that did no good so i went to lay down when kyle called me on his break. i was in a lot of pain and he lovingly decided to use me as an excuse to come home early to "take care of me". i thought i was constipated so he left to the store to get me a laxitive... while he was gone i started to throw up. it was awful. so i called my sisters and my mom (all the nurses in my family) and no one answered. perfect. well, eventually Corlista called me back and i was telling her all my symptoms and where the pain was and what kind of pain and she said i should go to the hospital, and i trust her so we got ready to go. i threw up some more, our home teacher came over and helped kyle give me a blessing, and we were off to the hospital.

10:30 we get to the hospital and the nurse asked me all the questions took my vitals, gave me a barf bucket and as she finished putting my iv in, i put that bucket to good use.  i got a CT scan and had my blood checked and to my surprise the doctor come in and tells me its my appendix and i need surgery and scheduled me for 6 a.m.. it was 2. kyle left after they got me upstairs to a new room at 3:30 to "get some sleep".

he came back at 5:30 to see me off. the doctor was very nice, as was the anesthesiologist. the surgery went great, i remember nothing and the gave me morphine. yay! kyle went home to move one of our couches into storage and get some much needed sleep  and KC came to visit me and brought me a balloon, king size reeses and a magazine, i love her. all the nurses were wonderful and very helpful. i was feeling pretty okay so they let me go home.

thanks to my sister my appendix didn't burst and i didn't die.

march 13, 2011

yesterday was our #1 anniversary. the year went by so fast and we did so well with our no sleeping on the couch rule for the first year, we decided to keep it. Kyle brought me three of the most beautiful roses i have ever seen on saturday






and then we went to our beloved Porter Park, where our life together began to blossom. haha... how cheesy do you think i can get. but seriously... i LOOOOOVVE this picture! we make a beautiful pair... and someday we will pass that on..... but not this year.

happiness

for lindsey

it's about freakin' time... i'm sure these are the words going through your cute little head right now, but you just need to calm down, okay? i do love you, so here you are.

erg.... what to tell you about our life as of the last time i posted, which i don't remember when that was so i will just tell you what i think is needed for you to know we are happy, alive and well.

we work our minds off... Kyle still has his booty and my butt is the same, our minds, our sanity however is what suffers as we work at the glorious Wats. to some of you, this is a good sign, us working hard and being grown ups, but i will have you know that we officially hate it. proof that we are alive. the only upside is that the people that we work with are awesome. downside to that... it's a call center so we can't exactly chat much with the people we like, just with the one's that hate our guts.

Christmas was wonderful... we went to Washington for a week and stayed with Carrie and her wonderful family and their sweet crib. it was fun to see the family again. Kyle and i got Dave from the 'rents, and begrudgingly i started to read one of the books and......... i have learned some interesting things. there i said it. kyle and i are pretty good though and on the right track, we just make next to nothing, but Dave will be handy and teach us a thing or two before we die. Dave Ramsey in case someone is wondering.... he's a financial guru. proof that we are well. also proof.... we havn't called you with some morbid news or anything, so if you are worried... probably you shouldn't be.

i took our Christmas pictures and we mailed out our favorites and yes that is a real life huge chunk of heart shaped snow that kyle invented and made me very happy. i also took KC and Shanes Christmas pictures, they turned out really cute, most likely because they are cute.

our apartment right at this very minute looks like a "pig stye", a "disaster" or, if you rather "a tornado hit it"...  moms take your pick. proof that we are happy. :) also proof... Kyle has a snowboarding "class". how do you like that? once a week he goes up to Targhee all day. jealous? yes, as a matter of fact i am, especially since i have to work at Wats on thursdays. two thumbs down. but we did get the hubby a helmet to protect his noggin and he won't stop trying it on. he's like the 6 year old who got a superman costume for halloween and still hasn't taken it off yet. i'm glad he likes it though, that means he'll wear it.


New Years Eve was cold and fun. we chilled with Josh and Trista (we like them) playing ping pong and phase 10. watched the ball drop, which i don't think i will ever understand the point of that, but it was fun. and the best part was trista's homemade bread and the martinellis we had to bring in the new year. proof for the unbelievers that we have friends.

this picture didn't make it to the mailbox, but it was one of my favorites. proof that i have self control.

aaand my sister called me when she got our card and decided to tell us that we will have beautiful babies... that made me happy. proof that i take good pictures.  i miss my sisters. and my brothers. and my mom and dad. and other people too, but mostly them.
