Well hello there..

 well hello there its been awhile.... So much has been going on.. At the end of June I went to Utah to help my mom watch my brother Thomas's kids. They were going on a cruise for a week so it worked out great that I could come to help, and because I want to spend a few weeks with my family before I started my new job. While I was in Utah my parents took us camping up Nephi Canyon. We grew up going there so it was fun to go back and remember the good times I has as a child there.

 

These are the only two pictures I got of the camping trip. My parents are the best grandparents, they would do ANYTHING for their grandchildren. Watching my dad with my nephew actually brought tears to my eyes. I didn't have my dad around as a child, he was ALWAYS working (he still does) Having my dad take a few days off work to be with us ment a lot to me. I love my dad and the last five years as I have really gotten to know him, I am truly amazing at the man he is. 

My nephew Krayson (Justin & Chelsea's son) him and I became quiet the buddies. He doesn't know me very well but this trip changed all that. He would let me hold him, he would play catch with me, he would let me change his diapers. He is the funniest kids, he has so many facial expressions. I could just watch him all day. 

I had a great two week with my family and I will miss them these next couple of months but its all worth it. 

Also; while I was in Utah I surprised my best friend at her baby shower. I think she had an idea was going to be there. But none the less it was a surprise. It was so good to see her because they just moved to PA and I don't know when I will get to see her again. I am going to do my best to make it out to the baby blessing.

I got home from Kanab on July 2nd and the next day I woke up soooo sick. I had the flu and strep throat. I couldn't get out of bed, I have NEVER slept to much. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. A week went by and I still was not feeling better. Monday July 9th came around and I was to start my new job. I was not excited about going to work sick. But I went anyway and lets just say it was NOT a pleasant experience. I had not eaten an solids in a week, and I was miserable, I don't remember a thing about that day EXCEPT: CAUTION if you get sick easily stop reading.... 

Lunch came and I was starving the girl next to me knew that I was not feeling well but told me I needed to eat something so they provided pizza. I was like fine I will try to eat something. I ate it and I was like Ok I think I will be able to keep it down..... NOPE was I wrong, I go back into the classroom and thank goodness only a few people were in there I sat down and not even a minute later I feel It coming up and try to swallow, I know gross but I just could stand that this was happening and how embarrassing it was going to be for me. But I couldn't hold it in. I threw up all the pizza I had just eaten and more. I was so in shock, I couldn't even say anything. A few people came over to help me and to find help, and get me a trash can. Next thing I know I am in a wheelchair being wheeled to the nurses station. I get there and the nurse was so rude to me which I don't want to get into. She sent me home (thank goodness) I made it home and I just start crying. What if I lose my job, this can't be happening, I am so embarrassed to go back to work. I will always be remembered as THE GIRL WHO THREW UP.  I'm still not feeling well the next day but I have to go to work. It was another bad day but with no through up involved. I was seriously just not with it, my head was throbbing, I was nauseous, I didn't eat anything that whole day. I get home that day and I start crying and tell Wain to get in the car cause he is taking me to the instacare. We go, there is nothing they can do because I don't have my insurance card yet and they don't have the technology for dehydration. So I cry some and I tell or more yell at Wain that he better take me to the ER because I was NOT having this anymore. He didn't think it was a good idea to go to the ER cause its expensive. So he calls his grandpa (who is a dr) and asks what we should do. Tells me to drink tons Gatorade so that's what I did. I drank 3 Gatorade in twenty minutes. I was determined to get better. I even told Wain if I am not feeling better by 9pm I would be taking myself to the ER. 9pm came around and I was actually feeling a little better. I didn't sleep that night cause I was up so much having to pee. Next day I feel a little better but not totally my ears were ringing and I had a major head ace. Today I am feeling sooo much better. Thank goodness for a patient husband and GATORADE. My husband has been AWESOME, he has taken such good care of me, made me soup everday, warmed the rice pack, got me an icepack. He was just AWESOME. He was so worried about me and I don't blame him. I just wanted to die. The end....:)

When my little brother Kolton gave his homecoming talk, we were all there so we had family pictures taken and these are a few of them. I hate pictures, I don't know how to smile when the camera is going. blah but I liked there ones..
