Crazy and Rough Day

Yesterday was a very strange day. On Thursday night I had a hard time sleeping because of upper abdominal pain. I didn't think much about it because I didn't notice it on Friday. Friday morning was my cousin Robert's Funeral. I didn't know Rob very well since he had been in trouble quite a bit in his younger years. I never really knew him as a good person. I was amazed and blessed at his funeral to hear he had really turned his life around. There were quite a few friends at his funeral and co-workers that really enlightened how I felt about him. They said he was the sweetest and most selfless person they knew. When working in construction he would go the extra mile to get people water or just make sure everyone was ok. I was really grateful I learned this about him.
After the funeral and luncheon my family headed over to my house for a combined birthday party for Kade and his dad Erik(who were both born on the 27th). We had a lot of fun playing and watching Wally. This is when the weird stuff started. When Kade was opening his presents I noticed that the bottom right side of my lip had gone numb. Hmm thats weird I thought. Then I went and looked in the mirror to notice I had a huge swollen lip. It was not painful just swollen and itchy. I couldn't figure out what had caused this and I needed to go into work to finish my shift for the day. I said by to my family and headed into work. The minute I get into work. I couldn't stop itching everywhere so I went to the bathroom and noticed I had hives on the left side of my body. I went to the manager currently working and let him know the situation and I headed home. (so much for work I suppose) Then I tried to find an open urgent care(hoping to pay less than the ER) but it was impossible. I talked to Craig and he sent me to the ER. Once I got to the ER I was put on an IV and stayed there for about 1 1/2 hours. I have never had an allergic reaction so I was very suprised by this. The ER doctor mentioned that he had no idea what had caused this so he sent me home with a prescription that if my lip swelled again to take and come back to the ER. Luckily my lip did not swell anymore and I don't really remember much from when I got home to when I woke up this morning at 10:30am. I must have slept for at least 10-11 hours without waking. Sorry for the long story but I just thought I would share my crazy crazy day.

Our Third Anniversary

As many of you know in December Craig and I went to North Carolina for Christmas. Well our third anniversary was a week before Christmas and was two days before we left. I was stressing on who was going to take us to the airport to fly out for christmas. Craig had assured me that our friend Laura was going to drive us there. He said she would be there at noon. So I was finishing up a few things before she came. One of the things I needed to do was mail out the last of my christmas cards. As I am walking out side I hear Craigs voice from inside yelling"Wait! Where are you Going?" I couldn't understand why Craig was so worried so I nonchalantly said I was taking out the mail. Well. I took the mail out and this was pulling into our driveway

Craig come running out of the house just as the limo driver is asking if he was at the right place. He must have wondered what was going on because I was giving him the weirdest look. He said " is this 2463 N Maxie" to which I responded "Yes?" and he asked if he was at the right place and I said " I have no idea" When we got all of our luggage into the lime I couldn't stop Laughing. One Rod looks nothing like Laura and two Craig is so funny to get a limo for us. It was awesome. Here are some pictures from inside the limo.


The limo was full of these hearts in there and I thought it was hillarious.


The best part was the looks on peoples faces when they would drive by. Later that day when we were in the Minneanapolis airport afraid we were going to get snowed in we took our pictures by this large statue of Snoopy. As many of you know after working for Cedar Point for a summer I like the Peanuts gang and comic strip, movies and memorabilia(sp) so I couldn't pass this up

3 Years Ago on December 17

Well it was three years ago of complete chaos when Craig and I got married. We have been in chaos since. I still remember the day I saw Craig at our friends sealing and I thought "hmmm. he is either married or not with our wedding party"" because that was the luck that I had in the past. But lucky for me he was kind of taken, sorry but that relationship ended a few days after we met. We saw each other probably once every three weeks until I moved to Arizona which was a huge step for me. I did not know anyone but craig, i was in a new job and living away from all of my roomates that I missed a lot. It was all worth it. About three months after we met on Sept 23 Craig popped the question and I said yes. Then three months after that we were sealed for Eternity in the Logan, Ut temple. We had a rough road trying to get to the temple from misscheduled flights to our wedding license being in a different car then we went to the temple to. I remember when we were waiting to be sealed Craig and I sighed a huge sigh of relief and said" I can't believe we made it here" We probably still sigh every day that we make it :). I just wanted to post some of our wedding pictures and engagement pictures just for you all to see how lucky I am to have met such a wonderful man. Craig I love you and you make everyday an adventure.

We love this picture because we both look so confused which is exactly how we felt. Can you say sleep deprevation.
