this goes out to everyone who thought i was crazy.

It started when I was twelve.
I was running around barefoot on a cold night, and my feet suddenly swelled up and started itching. I would go snowboarding, and it would leave red, itchy, hives all over my body including my face! Holding anything cold would make my fingers swell up huge and itch. Eating ice cream would make my mouth itch, throat swell, cause me to cough, and sometimes my lips would swell.

Well we went to the doctor about it and he told me that I was probably allergic to the cold.
So growing up when I would tell people that I'm allergic to the cold, no one would ever believe me!
Well here is now the proof:

It was terrible when I was little, but all that happens now is that my throat will swell up still, I will cough when I eat something cold, and sometimes my hands will itch!

Meat

My husband tells me I need to make him more meat, at least once a day. I disagree.
I think 3-4 times a week is about right.
Wanna know why?

Hanna the hoarder is the reason.

Such a cruel, awful women.
I hope she does major jail time.

Minnesota

Well Monday we found out that we will be moving to Minnesota this April till Sept!!!! Even though I am going to miss my family and friends very much, I am super excited to live out of Utah for the summer!

Popeye

Dec. 17 2010

I sat there content in my warm socks, hospital gown and tarp-like shorts. Then, all of a sudden, the nurse pulled out 2 needles. That's when I started to really freak out. See this is my husbands fault. Earlier that morning, he told me that they aren't going to give me an IV. I thought for sure that this surgery was going to be all rainbows and roses. I started nervously rambling off and I think I intimidated this nurse just a tad. This is about when I felt this horrible pain. I thought for sure something was wrong. Everything was going black and I couldn't hear. My body ceased up and next thing I remember is smelling alcohol swaps three different times. When I finally came to I still felt the same pain and my arms were frozen. My nurse, Wendy, went and grabbed another women to check on me. The women grabbed my arm, said everything was good, and walked out. I thought I had wet the bed because I was sweating so badly. Then Wendy told me that I had a "vagal response".
  
See- when I was a tot and would fall and scratch my knee, I would pass out. Normal right? This happened on many occasions growing up so my mother really started to worry. She took me to the doctor and explained what was going on. He told to her that everything was fine, and that is just how my body deals with pain. So you would think that in this moment, hyperventilating and sitting in soaked sheets, I would be called dramatic- or unbelievable right?
 
Well there was a reason here. My dear, dear Wendy stuck the IV through my vein, right into my TISSUE. Oh and remember all that lovely fluid that was supposed to be hydrating my body? Was pumping into my tissue- making my poor arm look like Popeyes'. No wonder why I had this crazy reaction! Luckily, my body would eventually absorb this foreign fluid.
 
The anesthesiologist was the amazing man who found this fault about 20 minutes later. The next 20 minutes consisted of my vein "blowing up" and a group of doctors/nurses singing Christmas songs to me. I was told that this was the first time they had sang to someone over the age of four. I was pretty famous in the hospital that day. Everyone seemed to know that a bunch of doctors were singing to a 20 year old girl.

X-mas E-card.

Can I just tell you how much I am loving Photoshop CS5? Since I didn't mail any x-mas cards out I decided to make my own e-card! It was so fun! Kylan and I finally decorated our tree last night. At first it looked like this flimsy, Charlie Brown tree and now it looks super pretty! Christmas is such a fun time of the year especially with my husband! He pointed out that I really don't know ONE Christmas song, I have made up words for all of them! The funny thing is I never realized that I wasn't singing the right words. Well anyway Happy Holidays!

Oh the weird things that happen to us.

Kylan and I are the weirdest people when we are sleeping. We tend to sleep talk back and forth to each other. It's always pretty funny but we always wake up in the morning asking the other what happened last night. Growing up I never had these things happen to me... or that I remember. Since I've been married I have been sleep-talking and walking and sometimes I absolutely freak out. I'll just tell you a few little things I have said to Kylan:

"Did you get fat free?" and "Mom did you check the soup?"

Other times I wake up and think I see people, flies, are giant spiders in my room.

I'll scream, jump, or yell "Who is that!" Then fall back asleep.

Then weirdest of all. I went to bed before Kylan one night and I thought I was still alone while I was sleeping. For some reason I stood right up out of bed, ran and turned on the light, ran to my closet, grabbed some mix-match pajamas, turned around and saw kylan in bed staring at me. I screamed, jumped, and said and asked him when he got there. Then I ran back in bed and fell fast asleep. I woke up in the morning with half of my pajamas on and some next to me.

Kylan and I are the biggest babies when it comes to scary movies. But around Halloween time I always crave them for some reason. So one night we turned on an old scary movie; Halloween H20. Well we had to shut it off in the first 10 minutes because we were so scared. After these little segments of scary movies, I woke up one night to him whimpering like a dog. So I hugged him and he stopped, but then the next night I woke up to him yelling; "No, no, no!!"

I shook him and asked if he was okay.

Well he says to me in distress, "It's the system, all you need to do is figure out the system."

I asked, "System for what?"

He says, "Halloween.... 3 days.... the panels.... you got to pick a number..... 1 to 75..."

He was talking about installing alarms over a work trip.

Another time he asked, "Did you finish that install?" I didn't say anything back.

He said it louder and I just said, "No.."

Once again he said, "Did you finish?" Over and over I told him no.

In the morning Kylan says, "I think we were arguing in our sleep last night."

The moral of the story is if you wanna have an entertaining night, head over to the Veibells.

On another note, it is confirmed. I am getting surgery on my foot on Dec 17. Pray for me. haha. I cant handle needles or gross things. I started hyperventilating when the Doc was talking to me about the surgery. I just told him, "Make sure I'm so out of it that I will never wake up, I don't what to remember anything, just give me as much drugs as my body will take." On the good side at least I will be able to be more active!

A month ago I had to get a steroid shot in my foot. The Doctor told me that it will be really painful. Great, why in the world would he tell me that!? Well when the doctor left the room to go get the shot ready and I broke down in tears to Kylan. I told him I couldn't do it.

(Just a little background information I hyperventilate, struggle, cry, and pass out for every shot or really gross thing. With out fail. I once had two nurses hold me down. Another time I ran out to my car crying to called my dad to ask them if they really needed to take my blood. Okay, so maybe I'm a little dramatic?)

Well anyways the doctor came back in the room with me crying hard. I told him I changed my mind and not to do it. Kylan held me while I yelled, "Don't do it! Don't do it!" and the Doctor just jammed it in my foot. It was so terrible.

This last time my mom came to my appointment with Kylan and I so we could go out to lunch after. While we were leaving the doctors, we went to make the appointment for my surgery. The receptionist looked at my mom and said;

"Okay, if I can just have a parent sign here."

All of us just sat there for a good minute just staring at the paper confused.

Then my mom pointed to me and said, "Oh, she is married."

The receptionist was so embarrassed and said, "Oh I thought it said your birthday was in 1999!"

A nurse laughed and said "Well that's a compliment to you that you still look young!"

Really? That's a compliment to a 20-year old? All the nurses thought it was so funny they were trying to hold back from laughing for 5 minutes.

It's great that I still look young enough to be 11!

Update

A little update of the past 3 months.


The wedding was beautiful. It was a long day but everything went perfect! The temple was so special and I was so happy to share it with my close friends and family. Our honeymoon didn't work out as planned... ha there were a lot of things that went wrong, lets just say we pretty much drove down to St George to eat and came back. But we will always have that funny memory! 

So one weekend we were hanging out with our married friends Brian and Lindsey Nielson, Kylan and Brian got this great idea to go camping. Since it was already dark Lindsey and I were pretty sketched out but we just went along with our husbands. We packed up and left up the canyon. After a while of driving we found a great spot. After we set up the tent, our beds, and got a fire started we sat around the fire to relax. We forgot to bring food other than candy, so pretty soon we were all hungry. The boys convinced us to leave all of our stuff there, drive all the way back down, go to Walmart and get some hot dogs. Then we drove all the way back. After our hour detour Kylan had set up our sleeping arrangements to have all four of us sleep in the same tent... and in the same sleeping bag. Two newlywed couples sharing a sleeping bag. It was pretty funny, we felt like sardines in a can. Great way to break the ice!

Well I found out I have to get surgery on my foot in December. For those of you who didn't hear, I broke my foot a year ago doing a handstand, in my room, by myself, taking a timed test online. Pretty embarrassing huh?

I ended up shattered my 4th metatarsal and broke it up higher also. Unfortunately I had to go to school on crutches, and on lortab. Well the first day back to school I sat in the Hub telling groups of people all the stories of my childhood. Pretty soon I realized I didn't go to class at all, I just sat in the Hub for 4-5 hours.

The next week I had random people approach me saying, "Oh you're that girl who was telling all those crazy stories in the Hub!". Lovely. Not only did I embarrass myself then, but I rented a electric scooter to get around on campus. I ended up wrecking it in front of everyone, and cutting my head open.

So this is what Kylan get to look forward to when I do get surgery.

Can I just tell you I am so happy I married a Ute fan? I think if I had married a BYU fan that would be the 1st reason of divorce. haha. It is so fun to look forward to all the games. I was raised as a ute fan and went to all the games ever since I was little. I get pretty into football... I didn't really realize that until I got married. Kylan loves watching football so it is perfect. One day kylan had some friends over and I came in the room and said "Is it okay if I turn on the game?". All of his friends were shocked. We got to go to the Ute vs Pitt game a week after we were married and it was so much fun. We were in the middle of the Pitt section so it was kinda scary and the end Kylan told me to run out of there because the Pitt fans were getting a little angry.


A couple weeks ago APX had a back-end party and NitroCircus came and put on a big show. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the whole crew from the summer. This next summer Kylan will be a tech manager so it will be really nice for him. He has been recruiting and installing like crazy! I am pretty excited to see where we will be going and who we will be going with in January!
