That's all i can think of right now but whoo! I have been on a roll lately!

Well, we are leaving for Vegas on Sunday, and then we are heading to Anaheim on Monday for four nights, then back to mesquite to stay with my family! We are going with our friends Brian and Lindsey Nelson, so it should be a fun trip! We are going to Disneyland and I'm so stinking excited. I finally convinced my husband to go. I just hope my poor, little, gimpy foot can handle all the walking we're going to be doing! 

Also, We are moving in 40 days! It's so insane, I'm super excited just to be living somewhere else for a while. But on a downside my husband will be gone ALL DAY, like literally, he will be getting home probably at midnight every night. So my summer with consist of: laying out, shopping, playing games, photography, the girls, working out, arts&crafts, graphic design, and what ever else will tickle my fancy! I have such a rough life.

Music Monday

I got inspired by my lovely friend Alex for this post. Music is one of my passions, but since I have gotten married, it is something I have seemed to forget. So I decided that I should do a little something for myself, and every Monday I will post a song that I am diggin at that moment. (Hopefully I can keep it up)

So here we go;

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals: Tiny Light
I love all of her music she is one of my favorites at the moment. She sounds just like singer from the 70's, someone my dad would definitely love.


Adele: Rolling In The Deep
Her new cd 21 is amazing, love this song and video.


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.

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.
