Memorial Day Weekend Update

Our Memorial Day Weekend was not anything to write home about (as my mom would say) ha! Friday night Mike & I just chilled at home.

Saturday Mike had to work, so I cleaned the house & got stuff ready for my family to come over. Mike got home about 5:30pm & we drove to my Grandma's house in Springville to visit with her & my family that came up to visit (My momma & brother Jason) I talked Jason to come stay with me because Mike had to work Sunday & Monday & I would be by myself. He did.

Sunday we went to church & Jason helped me with our Nursery Kids. My mom & other brother came over for dindin & we just chilled together & chatted.

Monday was a very rainy Memorial Day. We drove to my Grandma's house & had lunch with some other family (Aunts, Uncles & Cousins) & sat & enjoyed a nice relaxing day. I was great to see my mom & brother & also my other extended family as well as my Grandma. I can't wait to see my whole family next month for Jackson Hole!

This weekend will be a good one filled with a Movie & Girls day out! I can't wait!

Just another Weekend Update!

I hate blogging at work because my Pictures are not here, but it is honestly the only time I get on the computer & have time to blog! Having said that, I promise to get pictures on the blog sometime this week. Lets jump right into it.

I always wonder why I only do weekend updates, but then I realize that my weeks consist of going to work, then driving home & making dinner & watching something funny (or not so funny) on TV, then going to bed & starting it all over again. Weekends are the only time I do anything fun or worth blogging about!

Friday night we just hung out at home and cleaned the house for the many house guests we had this weekend. We kinda got to bed late and had an early morning on Saturday. Ben (my brother) woke us up at 7:45am Saturday because he wanted to pay us for the 4-wheeler & take it out riding with a friend. We took care of him & got him on this way, got ready for the day & headed out to Sandy to meet with Mike's brother regarding some financial ?s we had as well as refinancing & mortgage ?s. We then went to Barnes & Noble to get the rest of the "Twilight" series for me to continue reading. After that we drove back to American Fork where Mike is now trying to persuade me to let him buy me a scooter. He bought a Motorcycle 2 weeks ago (which he still needs to blog about) so he thinks I need a scooter. I rode a couple of them & liked a few, but we didn't purchase one. After that, we spent some money at Home Depot on flowers & other things for our yard, then over to Walmart to go Grocery Shopping & then home to do some yard work. It was a hot day Saturday & we got sun burnt, not a very good idea. But we got a section of our yard done. YAY!!!

Sunday we went to church at 9am - still loving the 9am church - & then had family over the rest of the day. It was great to see Michelle & Kurt & my cute nephews at our house. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks guys, we will need to do it again sometime. My brother also came over & we had a great time!

Back to Saturday & the scooter "issue." Give me your opinions & suggestions on a scooter. I want to know what you think about it...would you get one?

Normal Weekend Update Blog

Hey all...It has been one of these weeks, you know, full of suprizes & busyness. Anywho, here is our Normal Weekend Update Blog! I will upload pix when I get home because I have some cute pictures of my nephews playing Guitar Hero!

This is Kyler trying to play

This is Jaden not really knowing what to do!

Friday Mike had booked an appointment for me to get a Manicure & Pedicure at my favorite salon, La Villa, because it had been one of those weeks last week. That was amazing, it felt so good, I love getting Pedicures & they always compliment my feet...It is always good to get compliments. I also got to watch the Jazz game while getting pampered! I LOVE SPORTS, if you didn't know that about me & I Love the Jazz, so all in all it was a pretty good day! After the Mani & Pedi we went to Dinner at Wingers in Lehi & finished watching the Jazz game. They WON, if you didn't already know. After dinner, we drove up to Draper to meet my brother to exchange some things he needed from us & we needed from him. We finally made it home about 11pm & fell asleep right away.

Saturday Mike had to work early (6am) & I didn't sleep much after he left, so I got up & cleaned the house & got our grocery list ready. I took Bear in for his grooming appointment at 10am & went shopping with Mike for Groceries. I took a nap that day & it was a very relaxing day.

Sunday we finally started church at 9pm! YAY!!! It was Mother's day, so it was extra special. We are in the Nursery & they were extra "tired" or something. They didn't want to do anything but play with toys. But we made it through. After church we drove up to Heber to spend Mother's day with Mike's family. It was a nice day filled with family, laughter & love. Thanks Michelle for opening up your house to us & making the day extra special for all of us. We love you!

Lets skip to today. This morning I had to go to the Dr. again to get another blood test done because I still have an HCG level. I will find out the results of that test tomorrow. Lets hope it is good news. Well until our next post, hope all is well with you all out there!

Weekend Update

This weekend was a stressful one. Friday night Mike & I had a nice relaxing evening at home while I slept (I was tired) & he watched movies. We went to bed about 10 pm because Mike had to work at 6am on Saturday. It was an eventful night. I woke up about 1am with the worst cramps I have ever felt before. We went to the ER to find out what was wrong with me & they said that I was pregnant & about 6 weeks along, but something wasn't right with it, my body wasn't accepting it. After an emotional Saturday, I finally came to terms with my body, lost baby & Heavenly Father. I am still hurting emotionally about it, but I am at peace with what happened & know that it happened for a reason & there was nothing I could do about it, I need to stop blaming myself for it.

Saturday was also just an emotional yet relaxing day. Home Depot was very kind to give Mike the day off to be with me & I had a Priesthood Blessing which helped a lot. It seemed the more we spoke to people about it, the more we found it happened to more people then just us. Miscarriage happens to 1 in 4 pregnancies. So needless to say I don't feel so picked on. Also I have had several people with kind words or testimonies I have talked to the last couple of days that have just made me want to go on with life & move on & forward, I want to thank them for everything. Literally you have been my pillar of light the last couple days! I love you all!

This was the bruse the nurse left me with after drawing my blood!

Sunday I only made it to Sacrament meeting because I was having a hard time emotionally & with cramping & things like that, but there was a peace there that spoke to me, I just know it will be okay.

Yesterday we had a Dr. Appt. to verify that the baby has passed through me. We had to do blood work again & the nurse lets just say didn't do a very good job, she poked me 4 times before she got blood. The test doesn't come back until tomorrow & I can't wait any longer, I just want to get this weekend past me & move on with the next chapter in my life. I will let you know when the test comes back how everything is.

If you have gone through something like this or know someone who has or even if you have a kind word or thought about it, please let me know...I could use all the prayer or thoughts anyone is offering.

P.S. Mike has an exciting Blog I am going to make him post tonight, we do have some good news!

Weekend

Ok...So I know it is Thursday & the weekend is about to start soon, but I haven't updated last weekend yet. What a stressful & fun filled weekend we had! And I finally feel up to blogging about it, I haven't been feeling so well this week...read on & you will find out why?!?!?!

Lets start with Thursday, shall we? Thursday night, Mike & I went out to dinner with some old friends of mine, at least, but we are all friends. We went out with Kammi, Kevin & there 5 month old baby Kahlin. What a cute kid! We went to La Frontera (my favorite resturant) & then went to WalMart to buy Icecream & went back to Kammi & Kev's house to eat dessert! It was an extremely fun night, one that we vowed to do again. It was good to catch up with them. We all get along so well, I can't believe we didn't do it sooner.

Friday night Mike & I went to WalMart again because I needed to buy some gifts for a baby shower that I attended on Saturday (I will talk about this next) We also had some CDs made of all the pictures we took while in AZ to give to Mike's family, so that everyone could have a bunch of pictures from the Funeral & family events that took place.

Saturday Mike had to work & I went to his cousins baby shower. It was a fun day, filled with games & cute gifts. Felisha (Mike's cousin) is having a baby boy in July (her first boy, 3rd baby) We are so excited for her! Saturday night was just us relaxing & enjoying the quiet that Eagle Mountain has to offer.

Sunday we had another late church (that is supposted to be changing on Mother's Day, but we will see if it really happens) & then ate dindin & relaxed.

Monday I woke & at 4:30am & was more sick than a dog throwing up. I couldn't keep anything down & only worked a 6 hour shift at work because I kept running to the bathroom all day & not getting any work done. We figured it was a flu bug because since then, I have heard from SEVERAL people that they had the same thing about that same day, Crazy, I know, but I am feeling much better now.

Well, that was our crazy weekend, it doesn't seem that stressful or busy reading it, but it was when we were in the moment. Hope you have a great rest of the week & catch you next time!
