So yesterday I got to spend the afternoon with the lovely Amanda Maughan and my new "niece" Kaydence! It was so much fun! I love her so much already:)
Love you mama mana:)

New job:) and working on school

2009-07-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

So yes I just wanted to write a quick little post, I have been interviewing for a few jobs, got offered one but there wasnt enough hours. Then went to this interview for a child care worker, I have been a "nanny" before and was excited to interview for a job like that again. The lady was super nice and runs it through the Head Start Program out of her house. It just felt right, its really close to our house and I could walk to work. The interview went really well and I was there for about an hour. That was all yesterday and then today I decided to take a break from the job hunting and go to my aunts house with my mom to do some quilting stuff. When I got home Andrew had made dinner AWWWW how sweet! Then I got the call that I got the job! I am so excited I start tomorrow and can't believe how excited I am. Its 10-2 monday through friday but some days I would work 8:30-5:30 if someone needs a day off.
The Lord works in mysterious ways and I cant believe how much he has blessed us!

Also I am going to sign up for classes in September for Phlebotomy, I know you are all thinking ew needles but I think it will be a good carrer choice. The classes are 10 weeks and would start the last week of September.
Anyways just wanted to update you guys! For all you at Convergys I will miss you terribly, but I will not miss that horrible horrible stink hole!:)

Twilight Lip Venom:)

2009-07-19T20:17:00.000-07:00

So I heard about this stuff they used on the Twilight filming and wanted to try it out. Its called Lip Venom ....

http://www.bellasugar.com/3370043

.. a little more information there.
"This product should be shaken before use to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds and applied repeatedly until lips are plumped, revitalized and the desired intensity of color has been reached."

So it was a pretty cool thing, makes your lips tingle, I didn't realize it was a plumper when I bought it but it definitely explains the sting. A friend sent me the link and I got it really without reading anything about it.

Me trying to look venemous lol

The stain color can go darker, as you read before, it can get really really red. So thats always a plus that you can personalize your color. Just be careful not to get it everywhere, like I did.

So the end product is pretty cool:) Love to all the Twilight fans out there!

Got allergies? Need a good deal?? Here you go!

2009-06-04T19:10:00.000-07:00

So the hubby and I went to Smith's today and while we were there I thought I would pick up some Zyertec for my allergies. (I take this or Clari tin depends on my mood hehe) When I stumbled across this sign for the Kroger brand of Zyrtec. Regular price $13.99 sale price $3.79. It has 30 tablets which I think is such a great deal that I HAD to share!!
Also the Clari tin was on sale it only comes with 10 tablets BUT its only $4.00 and the regular price was $9.99.
I think the sale is over Tuesday or Wednesday I cant be sure, but go buy some!

Is it the right look for New Moon?

2009-06-03T12:04:00.000-07:00

So whats your opinion on the New Moon Teaser trailer? I actually think its going to be really great! I think that the wolf looks a little small considering in the book people confused the wolves for bears... But I like that It doesnt look that cartoonish. That is one thing that I was worried about. So here enjoy leave a comment let me know what you think of it:)

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer in HD

New Moon the Movie and Eclipse Movie

5 things I love to do:)

2009-06-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

So my Friend Nicole did a blog about her 5 favorite things to do and wanted to know what other people like to do also so here we go...

1. I love to paint, I go to the DI to pick up some various wood items and I paint them. But oddly enough most of the things, I take them back and donate them to the DI haha I dont need the things but I love to paint and create them.

2. I love to bake and cook... I love to make everything I see on foodnetwork! Sometimes I wish I had my own cooking show.

3. I love to swing...it makes me feel like im flying. I love to feel the wind on my face and pumping my feet back and forth so I can go as high as I can.

4. I love to smell books... call be crazy but I love the way books smell. And it just amazes me how books from different time periods can smell so differently. Im weird. :)

5. I love to rearrange furniture, I will change around our house just because I feel like it. It ususally happens on my day off and Andrew comes home and is surprised to find that our house looks different than it did when he left for work.

So thanks Nicole I had fun! So I also want to know more about you guys out there in blogger world! What are 5 things that you LOVE to do??

Add one more to the population Morristown New Jersey!

2009-05-25T19:17:00.001-07:00

So we got really excited when Andrew's sister Jessica asked us to take her to the MTC! Neither of us had ever been there before so we were excited for a new experience! Her plane landed at 8:50 on Wednesday the 20th and we got to drive from Logan so needless to say it was an early morning. (Not as early as Andrew usually gets up but for me it was rough:)) We took her to a Mexican restaurant because thats all she wanted, she was a little nervous that all they will have in New Jersey is pizza and hot wings haha. It was definately good to see her before she left because we hadn't seen her in awhile stupid plane tickets can be so expensive! So all in all it was a very good fun day! She is going to make the best missionary with her warm smile and upbeat attitude! We love you Jess!

We are moving FINALLY!

2009-05-06T16:44:00.000-07:00

We are finally moving out of our tiny apartment into a duplex! We will have more pictures when we actually get in there BUT as of now until the 15th of May there will be people living there:( So here is one from google maps. We will be moving in June 1st! it cant come soon enough!
Also I just want to give a big CONGRATS!!! To my bestie Amanda!!! She graduated this weekend and we are so proud of her! She has worked so hard and has accomplished so much! I love you Mana!!:)

Never judge a book by its cover...

2009-04-22T08:57:00.000-07:00

So I thought all along that I would HATE Twilight, vampires? Totally not my thing. So I decided to give it a chance and watched the movie and was amazed! My mom gave me the books on Saturday and I was done by Wednesday. I am so sorry for all of you who had to wait for the books! I would have gone CRAZY!! So I love all the little things that they have online for Twilight but I hate the prices! are you kidding me 25.00 for a canvas bag?? I just couldn't believe it so I decided to give it a shot with making some. I am also giving away a bag on my craft blog so go enter that for a cute bag.

This is the very first thing I made, saw a Peace.Love.Twilight
bag and wanted it so badly! But I just didnt have $25.00 to spend on a bag.

I know everyone is Team Edward or Jacob but
Jasper can mess with my emotions any day!!;)
TEAM JASPER

This is the shirt I made for Andrew,
I think it speaks for itself...

And last but not least this is the bag I made for one of my favorite cousins!
Here you go Val! I hope it turned out the way you wanted!
Sorry I couldnt put it on black:(
But I think your idea for the crest was just awesome!

So needless to say I am now officially OBSESSED along with the rest of you! I didn't like the movie as much as the books but hey nothing is perfect! I am definitely looking forward to New Moon this fall!!

Just an update! finally hehe

2009-03-21T19:43:00.001-07:00

So it has been a while, I have to admit I just haven't felt like posting! Things here are pretty slow I guess. Andrew had his interview at Schriber's and we hope everything works out there, better pay and better for us to be able to have a family. I have just been a busy bee making tons and tons of quilts that we don't really need but it keeps me from going crazy! Speaking of crafts go comment on my craft blog so you can win the march giveaway!:)
One thing that actually stinks is that I am getting allergies for the first time ever! EH! I cant take it! Anyone have any pointers on how not to look like I am crying every 5 minutes!? If so let me know I would greatly appreciate it!
So here is something fun! About a week ago Andrew and I decided to make these eggrolls that we saw on this meal planning blog (http://mealplanningmommies.blogspot.com this is a VERY great website.) and after cooking everthing on the stove top i filled the eggroll wraps and put them in the oven (they reccomended frying but they were very good baked also). I went to flip them about half way through. After I was done I put the pot holder on the stove, walked back to the couch, and started to fold some laundry. Well the little voice I listen to AKA the Holy Ghost, kept telling me to go check the eggrolls, so I walked over to the kitchen and there were the FLAMES coming from under the pot holder! hehe we had forgotten to turn off the burner and I started screaming, yes I know lol very productive:) Andrew came running and put it in the sink and then we HAD to take pics! Sad thing is i LOVED that pot holder! I got it at my family bridal shower and now I only have one left so without further ado the photos!

New Bikes!

2009-02-22T16:35:00.000-08:00

So Andrew fixed my parents computer after it crashed for like the millionith time lol and this time he was able to fix it for good. My dad has been trying to pay him for it and we wouldn't let him, he called the other night and said he had found the perfect payment. Once I heard it was bikes I was freaking out I LOVE bike riding and so does Andrew, we started planning out routes!.... now we just have to wait for the snow to melt:( sad times. But we are very excited! Thanks mom and dad!

Movie Reccomendation:)

2009-02-04T20:25:00.000-08:00

So I was told by a friend of mine to watch "Fireproof", he said that it was a wonderful movie. I had seen a preview on TV for it and saw that Kirk Cameron was in it, I used to have THE BIGGEST crush on him so I was definitely going to watch it hehe:) So Andrew and I rented it from Red box on Monday and didn't get around to watching it until today. It was AMAZING! It definitely makes me appreciate Andrew and the things he does for me! And also for the Lord and the greatest gift of forgiveness. I cried, Andrew cried, we cried together (thanks mom for the tissue advice in advance;) ) It doesn't matter if you have the near perfect marriage or if your marriage is on the rocks this movie will definitely affect the way you see your spouse. I don't know what else to say but WATCH IT! :) You won't be sorry that you did!!

Cute new headbands!! and super deals!!

2009-02-02T20:19:00.000-08:00

So here are some cute new headbands:) if you want one let me know! and we can figure out a fair price. oh yeah and the photos wouldnt turn:( i dunno what was going on!
HUGE deals!!

So after Andrews interview we went to JoAnn's to look at a few things this is where I found the ribbon of my dreams! hehe it was just a package of mismatched ribbons which I love! It just makes that creativity bug in my head go CrAzY! :) So I had purchase these before and remember that the package said it was $1.99 but that it ended up being $0.99. So I figured if it was 1.99 it was worth it with how many bows I have been making, so I grabbed four packages wandered around a little and headed to the register. The lady and I start chit chatting about what I was going to do with the ribbon she scanned everything and said my total... I purchased those four things of ribbon and a little pin holder that was on clearance for $0.50. Okay so here was the total.......$1.60! Holy crap those giant things of ribbon were only a quarter! Needless to say I went back and got four more, thats 720 Yards of ribbon for about $2.50 at most with taxes! I walked out there a very proud woman! hehe so here are some pictures of the very unorganized ribbons that I got today!:)

I had to shove it in two bins and it still didnt work.

So I was curious while I was waiting for pics to upload that is
0.0035 for every yard of ribbon! Holy Moly!

Happy Anniversary Sweetie!!:)

2009-02-02T20:10:00.000-08:00

Happy two years love! It just keeps getting better!! I love being with you and seeing your sweet smile! You are my best friend and I am lucky to know you!

Tias Birthday present...hehe surprise Amy!'

2009-02-01T17:50:00.000-08:00

So I went to my cousin Amy's house the other day for a couple hours! I had soooo much fun, it was the first time for me going to her new house so I was excited to see it. I finally took her the hats that I made for her and Tia. They have THE COOLEST playroom that Tia showed me all of her princess thing. She is a very intelligent little girl! So it's her birthday tomorrow so I thought I would make her some cute little bows and a bow holder! here are the pics it was with my camera phone so they don't look that great so hopefully Amy will take some pics with them in Tia's hair ;) I am not experienced at all so dont judge hehe But I wanted to try :)

Belle

Sushi Night:)

2009-01-27T18:53:00.000-08:00

So I decided that we needed to have sushi night:) I went to the store and got all the ingredients. I even made a cute little dessert sushi that would please any pallet! I would recommend that moms do the recipe with their kids:) then they and also you hehe can "try new foods" hehe. It was super fun and easy.
The dessert sushi is just a powdered donuts with the fruit wrap you get by the fruit section in the grocery store. And then fill the middle with little rolled up pieces of different kinds of fruit roll up. When I saw them online they did it with Twinkies you are more than welcome to make it with them they would both be cute:)
This is what it ended up looking like....we did have 4 but Andrew ate one before I could take the picture!

Here is our real sushi we just put a whole bunch of things together it ended up pretty tasty. Everything was fully cooked, we used baked Teriyaki salmon and crab meat.

Ew "see food~!":(

Fun filled weekend:)

2009-01-25T17:42:00.000-08:00

So when we were little my parents would let us pick a spot on the map and we would go there and stay in a hotel there those are some of my fondest memories. Swimming, staying up late, eating the crappy breakfast! It was so much fun! So when my mom suggested we should go stay in a hotel on the 24th we were so in!;)Andrew was a little hesitant but we had so much fun. The boys went down first to SLC for lunch, The Red Iguana is where they went. Chelsey and I had to work so the girls left a little later and went to a late lunch at Apple bee's and shopping time. Of course we saw some of our favorite people in the world, Angie, Val and their little ones. We went to Tai Pan Imports, if you havent gone there and you are a crafty person you will LOVE IT! I got these cute little bowls for Valentines day! So yes we FINALLY get to the hotel and we had relax time, while Braden and Shaun went swimming.(I tried to get pictures but the water was so cold they were in and out before I could run down there.) Then we went to the Layton Hills Mall for some more shopping, we found nothing this time:( except for a $6.00 ORANGE JULIUS!! holy crap I couldn't believe how much I paid for that thing!! So yes we did the NORMAL Kendall sister thing and went to Walmart TWICE haha! We didn't go to sleep until late we had to play "Apples to Apples" til midnight. Then woke up to the crappy breakfast that wasnt so crappy:) So here are some fun pictures! I get a little crazy with our camera!

Oh happy day!!:)

2009-01-15T13:17:00.000-08:00

So I went to the doctor today... I had been stressing about it for weeks! So scared about what he would say. My NP sent me to a Internal Medicine doctor named Dr. Faux (pronounced fox) for high cholesterol. It runs in my family everyone has it. So in I went to this doctor unsure about what was to come and it was good news all around! Unfortunately I still have high cholesterol, he put me on this medicine, other people in my family have had a hard time with it but hey i'll give it a shot. He also told me some very interesting news.... I DO NOT HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS!! My NP told me that I did, the little twit. There is nothing wrong with my blood sugar levels I am so happy and grateful for that! So the doctor also refilled my prescription for my Metformin so I wont have to pay for another doctors visit. All together the scale said I lost 32 lbs!! Which is excited I may not be losing it where I want to right now BUT eventually it will get to the point where it will:) So there is all my happy news! Here is a picture of us being happy after the doctor. I made Andrew get in the pic with me he is happy too believe me:) the room is kinda dark so the pic isnt that great and we are TOTALLY cheesing it!

Is it really "Our Choice"?? I think there are other options!

2009-01-14T07:24:00.000-08:00

I don't want to get too political BUT if you are against abortion please sign the petition. There are so many women out there who cannot have children! These babies deserve a life and if their birth mothers decide not to give them a chance, everyone can suffer. There are women out there who will love these babies with all their heart:) Love you guys!

How fast are you??

2009-01-13T09:31:00.000-08:00

So we came across this at work today! It is so addicting!!!! In between calls we would take this test. here is my score! its not much but I thought it was fun so I though I would share it with you guys!

Hats for Amy and Tia! Matching Mom and Daughter hats anyone??:)

2009-01-07T10:31:00.001-08:00

So when I spoke with Amy on Christmas eve we talked about making Baby Tia a hat. (I think that I will always call her that he he)So I made one for her and I though oh my heck! Matching hats! So yesterday off to Wal-mart I went looking at yarn I couldn't get any ideas so there in the was the cutest ribbon! The real name is actually Brown and Taqua (Teal and Aqua??) anyways so back to the yarn isle I go and guess what!? There is a Taqua yarn hahah so it was a match made in Taqua heaven. So Amy I hope that you like these hats:) I know you probably didn't expect them so soon and I also made another hat for Tia but I will have to keep that a surprise! So we will have to get together soon so you can have the hats, if you don't mind I would probably drop them off at your casa. And if they arent long enough I can always alter them for you:) Anyways without further ado the pictures.....

Close up of Tia's Hat

Close up of Amy's Hat

Its about time! Christmas Pictures

2009-01-06T19:49:00.000-08:00

Here a little bit from Christmas 08 I have been slacking with it:)

2009 New Year Resolutions

2009-01-03T06:21:00.000-08:00

WOW! Its already 2009 I can't even believe it! It feels like just yesterday I was graduating from high school! So I have heard that if you write down your resolutions for the new year that you are more likely to make them happen, so here we go. I have a couple different categories that I want to make them for:

Marriage:

I want to spend more time with Andrew, show more affection and make sure that he knows that I love him every day!:)

Health:

I want to keep going with my loosing the weight and TTC, having more patient with

my doctors and learning to express my concerns to them.

Life:

I want to learn to worry less and enjoy the moment rather than looking ahead.

Family:

I want to spend more time with my family, do little things for them to surprise them to show them that I care.

How Braden and Shaun reacted to their Wiinderful christmas present!:)

2008-12-30T16:27:00.000-08:00

So I am going to put the rest of the pics up but Andrew needs my monitor and other stuffs to fix Val's computer ( I would like her to join the blogging world again!;)) This is Braden and Shaun when they realized that my parents had bought them a Wii for Christmas!:)

Our cute video:)

2008-12-27T17:01:00.000-08:00

So Andrew and I have been together for almost 3 years (2 of them married) so I made this cute vidjeo as Andrew would call it hehe. A lot of them are kissy ones lol but give us a break we are still newlyweds :)

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I would die for that!

2008-12-24T15:01:00.000-08:00

So I talked to my cousin Amy today, she understands how I feel about my PCOS because she went through a similar situation with her Endometriosis. I love talking to her! She is such an inspiration to me, she is so strong and always has the best advice. She has 3 beautiful children and has been through so much in her life and I look up to her more than I think she really knows. Amy told me about her friend and the specialist in SLC she went to, I told Andrew today that I wanted to go see her friends specialist. I just want to talk someone that knows about it and to have them LISTEN!

I think this might end up being a whining blog but oh well. I am so tired of feeling sick all the time, feeling tired, frustrated and like I cant control my body. Its so frustrating to have a doctor not listen, or not have the answers. I am sick of crying. Sick to death of it. I know that crying doesn't help, and it doesn't change anything, but it relieves tension. I want to have a family, through conception or adoption, but we need to have answers about my health before anything can happen. I have accepted it, I'm not mad at it anymore, just frustrated I just want answers.

Okay people so here we go, get out your tissues. I don't care if you are trying to conceive, have a million kids, or even if you hate kids. This song will touch you! Its hard for me to listen to but I do it anyways. I think all of you will look at it differently when you ask a newly-wed couple when they are going to have kids. Every situation is different! Maybe they cant, maybe they are waiting, maybe they don't want them, just think before you say anything. YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR SITUATION! Its like Amy told me today, they aren't trying to be mean, they say something before thinking.

I would die for that
by: Kellie Coffey

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqfGqOx2iDQ

Jenny was my best friend.
Went away one summer.
Came back with a secret
She just couldn't keep.
A child inside her,
Was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep.

And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept.
To young to know that one day
She might live to regret.

But I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had.
I would die for that.

I've been given so much,
A husband that I love.
So why do I feel incomplete?
With every test and checkup
We're told not to give up.
He wonders if it's him.
And I wonder if it's me.

All I want is a family,
Like everyone else I see.
And I won't understand it
If it's not meant to be.

Cause I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have.
I would die for that.

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
For that kind of love,
What I'd give up!
I would die for that.

Sometimes it's hard to conceive,
With all that I've got,
And all I've achieved,
What I want most
Before my time is gone,
Is to hear the words
"I love you, Mom."

I would die for that.
Just to have once chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that.

And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
How I would love
What some give up.
I would die ...
I would die for that.

Thanks for reading, I love you all so very much!

Been super busy! Here a little of the proof! Not all though;)

Christmas Tree AND gingerbread men/women

2008-11-30T18:04:00.001-08:00

This is our wonderful Christmas tree! We were going to go with

a real tree this year BUT with my allergies to pine we opted not to have me sick all holiday season!:) We do have a star but for now it is drying. Funny story last year we bought the most ADORABLE star you could ever ask for at Tai Pan. We also bought a whole bunch of other stuff, and as all of you who shop there know they wrap everything in paper. Well I had gotten everything else out of the bag except the star and forgot about it. Then the next day we took the garbage out and yep you guessed it! Included in the garbage was that most perfect star that I threw away:( so we decided to replicate that star this year, just had to paint it. Ill put a pic up of it later! So yes this is our teal and white christmas tree! I love the colors! kinda reminds me of my wedding but oh well they are so cute together. Andrew is the one who picked out the colors!:) I made the cutest crochetd snowflakes to put on the tree. I had always seen them on my grandma and mom's tree and I was decided to learn how to make them for my tree. Heres a few close ups of the ornaments.

Also we decided to make gingerbread cookies! Then we decorated them it was super fun and tasty!
Sorry that one wouldnt turn! I tried everything! that is me and Andrew! Below is when we chomped the other peoples heads off!

This is Andrew's Pirate complete with the
peg leg eye patch and striped shirt:)

So after receiving the bad news it was apparent that we needed to take some time off to "let off some steam." Growing up in a house without guns it was a little weird that I married someone who loves them so much. And in turn I have also taken a liking to them. We took the 10/22s, Andrews new play toy a Smith and Weston M&P .40 and an old favorite Mosin, to blow up some barbies and other various items that we happen to find at the dollar store. So we packed up the car, stopped at McDonald's, its evil I know, and Andrew decided to be difficult in the drive thru. His friends taught him that if you get a double cheese burger and get lettuce and Big Mac sauce you could get a Big Mac for super cheap, so he wanted to try it. Well im sure there is not a button for "Big Mac Sauce" on the machine, because she took about three minutes without puting anything on the order when she said "Is that everything?" We continued our order and drove through, I sure hope that the girls day went better after that. :)

So we continued on our adventure, we first went to Newton Dam where there were oodles of people there. I couldn't believe it it was the middle of the day and people were shooting what crazy people, us included. HAHA! Andrew and I have a really hard time shooting with other people around, call it performance anxiety hehe jk. Andrew always says "it just takes one idiot!" So we decided to pick the next best place, Dry Canyon in Smithfield. We were happy to find no one there and set up shop, those poor barbies didn't know what hit them. It was the first time I had shot the M&P, not a big fan of the recoil so even though he has had the thing for 4 months it took a little time to warm up to it. So it over all it was definitely a fun destructive day, the
destruction pictures follow:

An awesome picture of AndrewSome pieces of the barbies, well the on
es we could find:)Our cute picture! You know I when I look at this picture I think about all the other guys I dated before Andrew, and all that time none of them seemed to fit. They (whoever they are) say that you marry your father, and I think that in my case I did. Andrew would do anything for you if it was in his power to help, he would bend over backwards to get something done for someone. I think that is one of my favorite things about him, and any of you who know my dad he is the same way. Another thing that I love about Andrew is that he is so thoughtful! He is always asking how I am and making sure that I am happy. Just take this for example, I had to work today and Andrew did also but just for a couple hours. He took the car and I walked to work when I got off he came to pick me up and then we went to this grocery store near where I work. He said he needed to go check out the DVDs cause he was looking for one, usually around this year we go to dinner and to go see "The Nutcracker" Ballet, but unfortunately this year we have decided not to go. This wonderful husband of mine was looking for the dvd of the ballet so we could watch it at home! He had already been to 4 stores that day to find it for me! I couldnt have asked for a better husband than him!

So Doctor called:( things got worse not better! So i'm off to a specialist in December ill let you know how it goes.

ANYWAYS!:)
I just wanted to share my new obsession with you! YARN! I know it seems silly but my Grandma Kendall taught me how to crochet and knit and I liked it before cause I could spend time with her. But now I love it because I have learned more cute things I can do with it such as...... These are just a few of the hats I have been making! if you want one let me know and we can work something out!:D

I have also been working on Granny Block Afghans for my Mom and Sister for Christmas, here are some pictures of the colors that they have chosen, I decided not to connect them until all the blocks are done.

That's all for today! hubby and I are going shooting on our day off ill put pics up later:)

PCOS awareness and Test results :)

2008-11-19T06:27:00.001-08:00

Just a little bit of information on PCOS aka Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
http://women.webmd.com/tc/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-topic-overview

So I got to wake up bright and early on my day off to go get my 3 month test done, im supposed to do it next week but who the heck wants to do it right after Thanksgiving!? I am sure that my blood levels will be sky high then hehe. I hate needles and blood and eh all of it is such a horrible process. They take 8 little things of blood and I know this sounds really juvenile but this time I got to chose the little bandage I got it was fun!! I really hope that everything comes back better than before cause then I wont have to go back for SIX MONTHS!! It will be amazing!

So me and my doctor got to sit down after the lovely nurse Amber got done taking my blood. We took weight and all that fun stuff and I was happy to find out that I have lost 22 LBS since August 28. I couldnt believe it! The met that I am on makes me feel extremely bloated and so I never feel like I have lost weight. My heart rate has improved and my blood pressure was AWESOME! We also talked about my birth control (YAZ) if any of you have taken it let me know I HATE it! I know its not birth control in general because I have been on BC since I was about 16 to regulate everything. I just think that YAZ if evil! :( Anyways, back the appointment, we discussed everything that has been going on and what other things I wanted to complain about hehe:) We also started to talk about fertility drugs and what we wanted to do with that situation. I have decided that after a year and a half (gotta be on the BC for a year) then we would consider the Clomid. That makes me sad and happy all at the same time but im sure we will get into that at another time. Well I think I better go enjoy the rest of my day off!:) hope all you guys are having a great week! MWAH!

Welp here goes nothing!/Thanksgiving thoughts:)

So I (Lindsey) have decided to join the trend and create this blog about our boring lives. Not quite sure how to use it.... but it will work itself out. As thanksgiving approaches its the time to think about all the things that you take for granted the rest of the year. I think that one thing that I have learned to appreciate isFamily!! I think since getting married I have learned to appreciate the time I get to spend with my family more and more:) And I mean everyone! My parents my siblings and my extended family! I was so blessed with the best aunts, uncles, and cousins! Another thing that I am grateful for is my hubby! He is always there to support and love me no matter what! We have had a rough couple months with all the doctor problems and he never once let me get down about it. He is my rock and I love him for it! :) Okay well i'm thinking that this is it for now there will be more i see people get addicted to these things and im sure that I will do the same!
Here is an updated photo:)
