Me...catching up on posting again...

Yep, it's been a month since I posted yet again. I am terrible at this. So I figured I'd give another update of what's been going on. :)
I got my results back from my Dr. I got very impatient so I called and they finally had my results in. I talked to my Dr. directly. He told me that the cells came back normal! I was shocked...and apparantly so was he. With the last 2 showing at the stages they were. He and I were both sure it would have either been the same or advanced to me needing another procedure. But I'm definitely not questioning it. This was the first time it's been normal since before I had McHailee! So for now I'm happy knowing I'm living pre-cancer or cancer free! :) YEAH!
Nothing really big has happened. Just working tons and getting ready for Christmas. We had a christmas party with a bunch of our friends on Friday night. It was so much fun. We just decided that instead of everyone trying to scrape together money to buy us something and us buy them something, we should all just get together and celebrate for a night. Saved all of us a lot of money. I just figure, Mike and I really don't want presents from our friends, they need the money for their families and others. I got the idea from Erica. Her and Tony and Mike and I decided not to get anything for eachother, that we would just go to dinner or something...that's when I thought of the get together instead of anyone having to buy us a present. I think having everyone over was the best present yet! :)
I have been very emotional lately. (not that it's different from how I normally am...I'm kind of a crier like my grandma Iris) I don't know if it's the not being able to get pregnant or not. I know it's supposed to happen when it's supposed to happen. It's just so disappointing every month when I find that I'm not. It's crazy how I didn't want any more kids and now all I think about is having another baby. 6 months of trying and nothing. This is month 7. I never thought I would be that girl that tries that long. Trying for McHailee was 3 months. And with Remington it was obviously quick... :). Anyway, I'll keep you updated on that.
Can I just tell you how amazing my husband is? How is it that I got so lucky? Have you ever seen a movie, and there's a guy in it that always says the right thing and is super romantic, always always makes you laugh, makes sure you KNOW that you are beautiful and are his only love and always will be, and you never EVER have to worry about anything with him? Or when that song comes on the radio and it's a male singer that is singing about a woman or telling a love story about a woman he loves and cherish's? And all you think is "wow I wish a guy would be like that with me!" Or "How come I can't find a guy like that?" And then everyone tells you that guys like that don't exist...that life isn't a movie or a fairy tale? I was that girl 4 and a half years ago. Then my Mikey came into my life and changed everything I ever thought about anything. I can be in old baggy jammies and a t-shirt, no makeup, hair all frazzled, and any other little not so cute moment...and all I hear from Mike is how lucky he is that I am his wife and he get's to look at my beautiful face forever and ever. We will just be snuggling on the couch and he will just squeeze me really tight out of nowhere and sigh...I will be like "what?" And he gives me that look. He looks me right in the eye and tells me "I just love you so much. You are so perfect for me, how did I get so lucky that you are my wife?" I just melt. He is so romantic and thoughtful. He always ALWAYS opens my door. Usually stuff like that fades ya know? And I love how nice he is to EVERYONE. I honestly don't think he has 1 enemy. When we go anywhere he is always the one to get a crowd laughing. If I ever go anywhere withough him people ask me where Mike is and say that they are sad he didn't come cause they love just being around him. He is just so amazing and I am the lucky one! Anyway, just had to rant about that for a second! :)
Well, back to work. I will write more soon when I figure out what else to write about! Maybe even later today, it's super slow at work today. Sunday's are like that.

Just posting since it's been a month...

Here I am at work...another long 12 hour shift. Day 7 of my 8 day work week. I am really looking forward to my 3 days off after Monday. Except for Wednesday. I have to go to my OBGYN for another check up. They have to check to see if the pre-cancerous cells have grown. I hate it cause they can't tell you right there...I just have to sit and wait a week or so...in wonder!
Alot has gone on since my last post of the car wreckage! My birthday...which was awesome! I got to celebrate with friends and family on a couple of nights of dinner. On my actual bday, I had some kind of a 24 hour flu bug. So, I didnt get to eat the yummy free dessert at chilis that they give you for your bday...or my favorite meal...OR my favorite chips and salsa. Nope! I was too busy throwing up! :) It's ok though. I had a ton of friends and family there and that's all I needed.
We went to Denver, Colorado. My present to Mike for fathers day were tickets to a Denver Broncos game. So we went Nov 2nd with Erica and Anthony. It was so much fun! Our very first pro football game. Even though they lost...it was still super fun.
We also got free tickets to a jazz game. Coach Sloan's 1000th win! We sat 9th row from the floor! Wow was that amazing! My first experience! Thanks to my work! :)
Other then all that...nothing much! :) Just been working and hanging out with some awesome friends. Mike got me rock band for the wii. We have SO much fun playing! I was most looking forward to the singing part...but I've come pretty close to the drums! I didn't think I'd be that good, but...I am! :) I even got Mike to sing...and he hates singing in public! He has such a great voice, but he doesn't think so.
Mike and I are still trying to get pregnant. We are now on month 5 of trying. I will explain my worry of acheiving the pregnancy later...I have to go count some pills! :)

My icky Friday...











I dubbed Friday the worst day I've had in a long time. I am not a call in to work when I am sick kinda girl, I never have been. I just like working. Well Friday morning when I woke up, not only could I not talk, but when I tried to swallow, it felt like I had to force anything I tried to drink around a rock sitting in my throat and little rocks on the way down. I had this huge headache and my body was sore. Mikey said I needed to stay home and rest so I called in. He took the kids to the sitters like normal so I could just rest and not have to take care of them. Well, I tried to sleep as much as I could but I kept getting woken up with the guys who come take care of our yard. The lawnmower, the bush trimmer or whatever, weed wacker...you name it, they used it to keep me awake. So I finally just got up and took a hot steamy shower to try and clear out my sinuses. It helped a little. I got ready and went to get the kids cause Mikki had her 2 year immunizations appointment.
The appointment took a lot longer then expected because the pediatrician that we go to has a big connection with Mikki. She was his very first patient as a Dr. and when we go there he freaks out. He has to take her around and show her off to everyone. It's cute. We finally got done there and headed out from the clinic. Mike and his mom and sister were having lunch at Mike's brother's restaraunt "Granato's" and told us to come too. So we headed that way. I'm driving in the far right lane with a car in front of me and no one in front of that car. The light in front of us go's red and there is about 10 car lengths or more between the car in front of me and the red light. So we both start slowing down for it. I had quickly turned my head to console Mikki cause she was still upset about her shots. I swear it was for like a second...and besides I was slowing down for the light and I knew how far I had until I needed to stop. I've been driving for almost 10 years...I know how to sense when to stop. Well...this freaking lady in the car in front of me all of a sudden STOPS to let some guy in that was turning out of an apartment complex...still way far from the light. WHO DOES THAT when no one is in front of you??? So...I slammed on my breaks as quick as I could, but I still rear ended her. GRR! I was so scared and so upset. Mikki started screaming and Remy was like..."what the heck mom? That was so crazy!" So, I pulled into the apartment complex and so did the lady. She came over...I asked if she was ok and was apologizing up and down and she didn't answer, she just barked at me for my insurance. So I grabbed it and she yanked it from me and threw hers at me. I started writing it down and then she came over and was like, "did you call the cops?" I said, "not yet, I'm so sorry. I've never been in an accident before and I was really shaken and not quite sure what to do." She then said "oh you just don't think this is something the cops should be called for?" Totally snotty. She she just turned around and got on her phone. I was terrified. She came back after she got off the phone and told me the cops were on their way. I kept apologizing and she just said "I've been waiting 2 weeks to wash my car and JUST got it done. So much for that car wash huh? And...I just got my nails done last night...and just broke one." I again kept apologizing. She asked "what happened anyway?" So I began to explain it to her and she said..."well sometimes you just have to let a kid cry!" I was so furious by this time. All she had done was make snotty remarks at me! GRR. A cop finally showed up and apparantly it wasn't his jurisdiction so he started us on paper work, called another cop and left us waiting again. After we both did our paper work and the cop came he made us wait to do all his stuff and take pics. She then tried to small talk with me about work. I was ver short with her, and I think I had every right to be. Then...she popped off again..."well, now I can't go grocery shopping...cause you know, my car will be in the shop all weekend." Ok...so she's going to starve because I dented her trunk? I was so upset I was shaking like crazy! The cop finally came over and gave us our things and pulled me to the side. He was VERY sympathetic towards the situation and actually apologized for having to give me a ticket for the accident. He read both of our statements and agreed that she was in the wrong for doing what she did...he said "who does that?" I was like " I KNOW!!" But...law being law...if you look at it in any other way, I was "following too close" so I got the ticket. Needless to say, I was occupied for about 2 and a half hours and missed lunch. Oh...I forgot to mention that after we wrecked and she came over to bark at me...my stomach was so upset I threw up on the side of the road. And I hadnt eaten all day cause of the lump in my throat. Anyway...so yes...I did dub that day the worst day! Me and the kids are fine and that's really all that matters right?

My mom's bday....




My mom just turned 59! I can't beleive it. I remember when my grandma was 59! How time flies. Now not everyone knows but I didn't live with my mom growing up. I lived with my grandma from 3 til she was in the hospital at almost 16. My mom and I were never "close". It wasn't until I was 18 when we really started to hang out and get close. It's gotten better since then. I love her. :)
It was her birthday Oct 15th which was a Wednesday. My mom is a karaoke D.J. (yes I said D.J....my 59 year old mom!) at different clubs on weekends and the same one on Wednesday's called the Barbary Coast. So, she had to work on her birthday this year. My brothers were both out of town for their jobs, my sister was hunting with her boyfriend, and I had my kids cause Mikey was at school. So my mom was feeling pretty bummed out that no one could be there to celebrate with her. So...I got Jen to baby sit for me and quickly pulled together a party. I was pretty happy with how it all went. I texted Crystal to see if she could maybe throw a cake together for my mom...if you don't know about Crystal and her amazing cakes...well, they are AMAZING. She said she could see what she could throw together. I then invited everyone I knew to come make my mom feel special on her day! Some couldn't come and it was totally ok. I know all of my friends would have been there if they could. So, Crystal, Emmie, Megan, Dave, Dianna, and Mikey (after he got out of school) all showed up! My mom had no idea and could not stop smiling. And when Crystal walked in with a cake...that she personally made just for my mom, my mom was extatic! She couldn't beleive that my friends cared so much to come for just her. I was so happy.
We all had such a great time taking a million pics and laughing at my mom being so silly. She may have had some shots...may have. :) I sang alot! I couldn't get anyone to sing with me...maybe next time huh? Speaking of shots. I did have one with my mom just for her birthday! Yep...Jaime had a shot....of coca cola! :) It was funny. You should have seen the coctail waitress's face when Scotty (my mom's Karaoke partner) ordered me a shot of just coke. So funny!
Everyone stayed until midnight and we had a such a blast. My mom had her last shot and it toppled her over. So Mike and I drove her home. I drove my mom's car and he followed. She started crying when we got in the car. She was so happy and couldn't thank me enough for doing all that for her. And made sure I told my friends how much it meant to her. Thank you so much guys! I will post pics Tuesday when I have the day off. :)

Girls night...woot woot!



Emmie, Annie, Whitney, Marissa, ME, and Brandy!






















Yep...here it is...I like to call this one "8 seconds!"



This would be the cowboy who was inconspicuously winking at Annie...she won't admit it, but I think she liked it! Lol, just kidding Annie! This "Rascal Flatt", thought he should be a part of our pics at dinner and I thought he should be in a barn cuddling with some sheep but since I assumed he'd just got done doing that(which is why he was so hungry) I let him get in on a few pics! :)



So we started our night at Chilis...where there were some fun pics taken of us girls...I warned Marissa that I was going to post the pic of the wasted styrofome that she just HAD to have but didn't use...here it is folks...and as you can tell she really didnt' care...she was "peace-ing" the wasting! lol. just kidding!!! Love you Mo!



Well, after some dinner and laughter and music (provided by my lovely chip tambourine-ing) we headed back to my house to drop Brandy off so she could get home to her beautiful new baby girl! We missed her the rest of the night. :)



We then took a vote on bowling! That's right bowling! Where I seemed to get my very first score under 100 since I was like 9 years old. I've been on a bowling league every year since I was 8 years old and haven't been on one since I met Mikey. Too busy! :) Well, it showed! Oh well, I was goofing off so much that I don't even think I was paying attention to bowling! Ok Ok, so before I get into the bowling, we knew we were going back to my house after bowling so we wanted some snacks. Where else can you go and get everything you need plus be complete weirdo's and not get judged cause you fit right in? WALLY WORLD....or better known as Wal Mart! We got candy GALORE! MMM! I was so excited to get candy...I even did a jig! (althought the in the pic you can't quite make out that that's what I was doing!lol) We may have then...stumbled upon...well, some hunting hats...and well....I may have...or not...ok I did...put one on...and then Whit may have talked me into putting on a carhart jumpsuit thingy...and there may have been some pics...not really sure...ok I'm sure...there were pics...but I wasn't in them...ok I was in them a little...but just my foot...ok not just my foot...there was my face too...and maybe my body...but I wasn't wearing the hat...oh wait I already told you I was wearing the hat...dang it! :) Well...after that fun little pictures for bribery were made. Annie decided she wanted some slippers. And being the cute little shrimp she is, her wee little toes fit in all kinds of little girl slippers. It was hilarious! But we convinced her that not all of us have dwarf feet and so we settled on some cute furry boot slippers that we all got and each with a different color! So cute! We wore them the rest of the night. Ok, one more wal mart story, then I'll be done...promise! Annie and Emmie were several feet away and were looking so cute, so I wanted to take a pic of them. I was holding the camera all ready and a lady walked in front of me and apologized for getting in the way. So...(now that my hubby has got me in to quick comebacks) I said...."oh, it's ok! I don't even know them!" The lady was pretty creeped out! It was so funny! I think so funny that Whitney had gotten the hiccups...which apparantly she gets when she laughs really hard. She had them all night so you know we had fun! :)

Ok, enough of wally world. We got to the bowling alley and had fun just talking and waiting for our lane. Then the lights went out and the music began! I may have been the only one dancing and shakin' it! :) It was pretty loud and hard to talk in there but I still managed to get some cute pics and probably embarrass all of the girls by yelling out their nick-names that they put on the score board. Dang Marissa wouldn't bowl...Dang you girly! It's ok, I still got to have fun with her...it was like us back in high school...we were always doing silly voices and making fun of eachother. She cracks me up! We got done bowling and waited for Meg's to meet us there. As were were conversing when she got there, I then might have been a little hyper-active...such as...dancing, jumping, welcoming those who came in and thanking those who came out. Yep...greeter! :)
Then we went to my house to play a few games and talk. Whit, Marissa, and I had alot to catch up on with people from school. It's pretty cool to hear where people are now and how they are doing. Remembering the good ol' days. Meg's and her sis and cousin left around 11ish and Marissa and Whit left around Midnight or so and Crystal and her mom showed up about 1:00ish. They were at a party that night and were so sweet to stop by on their way home just to say hi. I love them so very much! Emmie and Annie stayed the night. SLEEPOVER! (and sorry boys, no pillow fights...or were there?) lol

We stayed up until about 3:00 ish and I had to be to my friend Erica and Anthony's house to pick them up to take them to the airport at 4:00. Needless to say I slept for about 1/2 hour on and off. I was pretty tired Sunday. Annie got up and left around 9 and Emmie and I had a wonderful gourmet breakfast of some sweet eggo waffles! :)

All in all it was one of the best girls nights ever! I love being with girls that I can be myself...and myself is pretty crazy! Why not have fun. I have the best life with my family and my friends and I'm not going to regret not living that life with them to it's fullest! :)

Blogging....

So, my lovely friend Julie H....(love you!) convinced me that people actually read your blog when you write one! :) So, since it's been over a month since I have written, I figured I'd better start writing more.

I am super tired this morning. Mike and I went to the U of U football game lastnight against Oregon Stute U. It was the most intense game ever! I'm now reaping the consequences of a sore sore throat from screaming so much. We won though...last 2 minutes...but we won. That brings me to something kinda funny....
I decided last night that being a wife and a mom and doing the whole family and work and grown up life has made me old. :) Mike is a student at the U so we get an awesome price on student tickets as long as we sit in the student section. Well, back in high school, I remember going to games and being all crazy with friends and not sitting where our tickets were and just piling in and not even paying attention to the game. It was more a...social event. :) Well...I know now I am old! The student section at the U of U is just like high school. We have assigned seats on the bleachers but NOBODY sits where they are assigned. We have people just piling in and standing wherever. Oh...and...we don't sit the WHOLE game!! The student section is on their feet! Yep! Standing and doing 3rd down jumps for 4 hours!!! I mean, it's fun...but man am I tired at the end of the night. I'm standing there telling Mike how bad my back hurts and feet...and he is doing the same...and I find myself getting all irritated with the drunkies who are in our section that push all of us to where we arent' even in our seats anymore. Back in the day I would have been so into it. It's just so funny to see how much I've grown up and how "old" I am. Oh and you can bet Mike makes fun of me for being that way...he's like "aww...is somebody getting old??" What a brat! I still have a super blast at the games though! Especially watching my undefeated Utes beat a team last night that beat the #1 team! WOOT WOOT! :)
Well, I work at 12:30 today so I have some stuff to do before work...
Oh...and I'm supposed to start my "cycle" today....the day I find out if all that "hard work" has made a baby in my belly! LOL! :) Wish me luck!

At least I have Monday off. Then Mikki's birthday party is Tuesday the 2nd. She is going to be 2 already! I'm so excited! Anyway, I'm ranting. Just thought I'd post!

Our new blogspot...

Well...I finally did it. Made us a blogspot! I am just barely learning how to do all this, so give me some time to put up pics and posts. Wish me luck! :)
