Okay its been awhile I started school for the summer semester and I just haven't had the time or if I had the time I was so burnt out from school to really feel like typing, but here I go.....What's happened since March, well I found out I was pregnant around the end of April, I was about 6 weeks along and was in a lot of pain and I started bleeding more than normal so I had to be taken to the ER (first time ever) and they did and ultra sound and said that it had to be aborted because was an ectopic pregnancy, which is where the fetus attached itself to the fallopian tube and was growing and tearing it and if it wasn't taken care of my tube could rupture and I could bleed internally and most likely die. They gave my two options that night; I could go into surgery immediately and either remove my whole right side of my ovaries and tube or try and save that side and go in and try to cut the fetus out of the tube in which case I would have scaring on that tube which would highten my risk of having another ectopic pregnancy again. Or they could give me a chemo therapy shot to kill it, so I opted for the shot and the doctor only okayed my choice after asking my how far from the hospital I live and when I told him that I just lived down the street he felt comfortable with giving me the shot, since I was at a high risk of my tube rupturing which if you don't pretty much live right next door to a hospital means death. Well the shot was a success and I didn't need surgery (thank heavens)............so on that happy note

moving on into May I took a rock climbing class at Weber which was just a PE class that was 1 credit and the whole semester class was a three day camp trip to the City of Rocks and I had a lot of fun climbed big rocks. At the time I was terrified and about to cry but now that its over I look back and am proud of myself for not backing down and facing my fears and actually doing something I would normally not do.

Now just this week at the end of May I wasn't feeling all that well and I started throwing up, now I hardley ever throw up and if on the rare occasion that I do I feel immediately better after doing it, well this time wasn't the case I woke up a four days ago Monday morning around 6 am and started throwing up so bad that my whole body was spasming and I was doing that up until 9 Nick took me to the ER ( I guess I'm trying to set a record) when I couldn't even keep water down and I started to get dehydrated. The doctors poked me and did some tests found out I have gastro intestinal infection and inflammation of my large intestine so its just something that has to run its course and so here I am now feeling a little better but I get tired very easily it sucks especially when I'm trying to focus on school and trying to do good. So here it is a new month hopefully I'm already at rock bottom and nothing could possibly get any worse so it will only be better from here on out.

Singing is for the birds

I recently got a job interview a couple weeks ago, THE FIRST ONE IN 11 MONTHS OF APPLYING PLACES!!! It was for Cold Stone Ice Cream.....ugh well it was more like an audition. I was so pumped and excited, only to have my excitement deflate rather quickly upon entering the store for the (what I thought) interview. There in the middle of the store was 14 chairs lined up and filing up quickly with awkward high school kids, "okay " I thought "No problem, they'll just take us in a backroom for a private interview".......NOPE they had us sing, that's right SING!!! Now for those of you out there that know me I don't sing and if I do......well you just don't want me to sing. Anyways sorry I'm getting ahead of myself, I have only been to cold stone one time and that was like 8 or 9 years ago when my sister Rahndi was going to school in Logan and I was there hanging out with her. SOOO back to my story since I've only been there once I had no idea that employees have to sing for their tips............now I will just tell you now that I can't just burst into song at the drop of a hat (tip) like some Disney character, to a stranger no less.......so there I was sitting amongst the nervous kids feeling rather ill myself but I was going to stick with it, I need a job and I will not let a potential job slip away just because I didn't want to do the "interview". The manager of the store gets up and states that she would like us to sing once by ourselves and then one more time in groups having 5 min to come up with a song tune but replace the original lyrics to stuff that has so do with Coldstone and Icecream. For the LIFE of me when I sat there waiting for my individual tern to come I could not think of a song, well I could think of song titles, but couldnt think of more than two words in the song or even the tune, finally my turn came and I stood up there and I finally had to ask for a request from the audience one of the people said "YMCA" okay sweet I can do that no problem.....well the only words I knew was the "IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCA......ITS FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCA-A................." and that was all...need I say more I didn't get the job but I honestly don't care, that was by far the most awkward embarrassing interview EVER... So if your ever considering a job at Coldstone be prepared to SING!!!!!

Yay it's a new year and hopefully everyone had a great time. I had a fun Christmas though I did get sick with a sore throat Christmas eve :(. I did have a wonderful time with mine and my husbands family, I especially had a lot of fun playing wii for the very first time. My favorite is the tennis I'm not very good I just swing really fast the whole time even when the ball is not coming towards me so my person on screen is spazzing out, it's pretty entertaining though my wrist was killing me afterward. I took some family pictures of my Jamie and Chantry and their little ones here they are I'm practicing my photography skills, who knows it might be a career. Here are the pictures................

Hey everyone been holding off blogging cuz there really hasn't been anything that's happened since I last blogged. I live a very uneventful life. I finished painting my second nativity set, a smaller one then those in the pics that I posted. I've now started painting a ceramic horse it's going to be pretty, I should be done painting it tomorrow and I'll have pics of it up soon. Other then that it's been pretty boring uneventful. It snowed today I'm excited about that!

I finally finished

I finally finished this nativity set that I've been painting

Yeah it's been awhile since I updated I have been avoiding it, it has been pretty boring around here. To pass the time I've sewing on some Christmas stockings for my aunt Susie's boutique. here's what they're going to look like each stocking is going to look different

Road trip, a few bumps in the road :0)

So I'm back from my road trip and there where a few bumps in the road here they all are in pictures......
We got into camp around 1 am so we left the car lights on the campsite so we could see to put up our tent.........the next morning the cars battery was dead so we had to push it out for someone to jump us.... not easy thing to do when your on a slant.......so we finally got someone to jump our car by then we were very hungry we started to get breakfast ready only to have our BRAN NEW OUT OF THE BOX!! cooking stove not work......

luckily there was a town nearby and we drove out there to get a new stove....got back to camp and got coals burning in our new stove, started to cook the eggs only to realize that we forgot a spatula............so we had to use a fork..... scrambled was the order of the day
Our tiny blue tent was well...... tiny and when it came to getting dressed or moving around it was a struggle so we went and bought a bigger tent......that evening it started raining and it kept raining into the next day, we woke up to our bran new tent leaking....... we had to go to the store to get some tent sealer stuff

We had a few rough moments but in the end its something to look back on and laugh

Getting sick

Well Nick is starting to get sick, he has a really bad cough and he woke up with the chills this morning :0( I went to the store and got a lot of medicine and juices hopefully he will pull through for our road trip

I was just thinking about how I needed to start writing in my journal, it has always been challenging for me to do......but then as I go back and review my blog I realize that blogging is similar to keeping a journal and this is the best I have ever done. I had to take a moment and pat myself on the back :0)

It is almost our 1st year anniversary so I wanted to post some of the pictures that were taken on that amazing day

Road trip

So Me and Nick have planned a road trip for our 1 year anniversary, I am really excited. We are going to drive up to Washington on the night of the 2nd of July, after Nick gets off of work.
