One week after Surgery

Well it's been one week since the surgery. I'm doing okay. Still tired, still sore, and can't excercise or do anything for a month!! That sucks. I had to stop dancing with a company I'm in and I can already feel me getting fatter!! It's gross. I hate that I can't do anything about it right now too. And I don't eat the best, but with dancing so much it kind of averaged out. So it sucks right now cause I feel myself gaining weight and I get tired quickly. I went back to work on Monday and it ain't easy. I'm on my feet non stop all day long, so yesterday was tough cause that area they went in started to hurt... Anyways thats all my complaining! Needed to get it out, now I'm done. So we took a couple pictures at the hospital but all of them were gross. I look like death in all of them. So I'm only putting one up that is somewhat decent to have on here. Its the next morning after surgery. This is the only picture you'll see from this... :)

Hospital Adventure!

Well I had an awesome last week!! So let me break it down a little and explain. So about a month to two months ago I found out I have a hole in my heart. I have been going to a Neurologist for my migraines and had a series of tests and I found that out in one of the tests. Well I guess a lot of people are born with one, but by the time their around two it should close on its own. Well mine hadn't and had been causing some problems. So anyways I had a few tests done here and the cardiologist here thought I was fine and didn't need to do anything. But my Neurologist wanted a second opinion so had me go to this appointment on Monday last week in SLC to see this heart specialist. Well I get there and do this test and find out that I am at the highest risk level and could have a stroke at any time!!! Yeah.. good news right? So he says why wait to have a stroke and possibly be paralyzed from it? So he said we are going to close that hole tomorrow. So yeah lots of fun, I went into surgery the next day and got the hole in my heart closed. Whats crazy is that they were able to go through a vein in my groin and do it. but yet 4 years ago they would've had to do open heart surgery to do what they did... Wow science is incredible. So that was a surprise and shock. Scott was still in St.George and caught a flight up that next morning with my Dad to be there. Which I was so glad to have him there. It was really scary and I'm still in shock with the whole thing. But I'm good to go... I stayed in the hospital overnight on Tuesday and drove back home on Wednesday. Recovered till yesterday and went back to work today... So that was my fun little adventure. Still tired, still sore, and just crazy to think that the hole is plugged up now and hopefully that will help if not take care of the migraines!!! So thanks to Scott, my parents, family, and friends that prayed, took care of me, visited me and just plain out cared! I love you all... thanks for your support. Glad I'm okay :)

Swim Fun

So we have been swimming a ton!!! All we do is swim, swim, swim lately. So we've had a few diferent parties with people and I stole these pictures off of Jena's site cause they were too dang cute. We went swimming with Rebecca, Jena & Derek one time, then Jena, Kiva and I go swimming like all the time now! It's a blast and our kids love the water... Here is just a few pics of our fun swim get togethers!!

My Birthday Celebration!

So this last weekend was my Birthday and it was so much fun!! First my husband and friends spoiled me the weekend before and threw me a birthday party and took me out to dinner! I had so much fun with my friends and I loved that they were all there. Thanks to my sweet husband for spoiling me. Then on Thursday the day of my birthday we had a swim party with some of my friends and family at my parents house. That was a lot of fun too. My sister took me out to lunch and took me shopping and I loved it. So again thanks to my husband, Jocelyn, and everyone else for making my birthday this year so special! I'm happy to be 24, cause I feel a lot older. On another note, this is my last week at my job Canyon Media that I've been at for the past 4 years. I'm sad, nervous and excited to start off on my new adventure! I start working at Biolife on Monday and start school in August. I can't wait to get into the Medical field, which is something I've always wanted! It's going to be really hard, but I know it'll be worth it in the end! So I'm posting a few pictures of my birthday parties! Hope you like them :)

Changing my life...

So I'm in the process of making a huge change in my life right now.... I am going back to school.. Wow I know, right? Me, go to school? I was kind of shocked for a while when I decided to do it too, but I'm getting more excited about it everyday. I've always wanted to be a nurse, but when I first went to college after high school, I just didn't have the drive, nor did I care about going. So this time, I know its what I want to do and I'm going to do it! I am leaving my job at the Radio Station, which I have loved and am going to miss a lot and starting school and a new job. Now I won't say where yet, cause I don't have it for sure. When I do, I'll say. But I'm really excited to start something completely new and challenge myself. Anyone good at Algebra, Biology and Chemistry, I will be needing your help for sure! Anyways, also my Birthday is in one week exactly and I'm excited! You think getting older would be a bad thing, but I actually don't mind it yet. I feel a lot older than 24, so maybe thats why I don't mind it so much. I'm happy that this year instead of always celebrating my birthday two days after or before, I actually get to do it on my birthday! With the 4th of July the next day, I have never got to celebrate it the day of, because everyone is usually out of town. So this year, were doing a party with my family and friends on my birthday and I'm happy about it :) I will be posting pictures of it after next week. Thanks to my husband and my friend Jocelyn :) I will be having a couple parties to celebrate this year, so we'll have some good pictures up here! Thanks you two... I love you both!

Isaiah's Birthday Party

Oh my heck... I can't believe I have a four year old already! We had a fun swim party at Grandma Rieck's house with Corbin as a joint party and it was a blast. We invited family and friends over for a big swim party and barbecue. Thanks everyone for coming! Its so crazy how fast the time has flown by. My baby, Isaiah is 4 years old already and I already feel like I can't slow him down from growing up. I remember when I was pregnant with him and just thinking about how excited I was to see what he was going to look like and how he would sound when he talked and I can't believe how adorable he is. I love my little boy and am already proud of what a good boy he is.... Happy Birthday Isaiah... Mommy, Daddy, and Layla Love you!!

They have so much fun together!!!

My kids have so much fun together... They are the best at entertaining themselves with one another. Most of the time its Isaiah bossing Layla around and telling her what to do, but luckily Layla doesn't seem to mind too much. Their constantly climbing all over eachother and wrestling. Both of their hair is getting so long. Were trying to grow Isaiah's out a little bit to be a little longer and stuff and Layla's is getting to that fun stage where I can almost pull into a pony tail. But we were just hanging out and I just took a couple pictures of them today cause they looked so dang cute playing together. We just had Scott's mom Sandy come and stay with us for a few days and we loved having her here. The kids are just all over here and following her every move.
