We get the keys to our house on Thursday!!


So, today we went and signed all the papers for our new house! I definitely feel like we were signing our lives away. I was kind of nervous going into the meeting, and didn't really know what to expect. Well, now that we are officially almost broke, and have promised the world to everyone else, I am actually doing ok. We will be getting our keys tomorrow, so we get to move anytime after that. I am actually really excited to move! I think it helps that we know we will be here for quite a few years, so we can actually settle down somewhat. I feel like I have been on the move for about 7 straight years. Constantly moving from place to place gets kind of old. So, this is a nice change in pace for us! Hopefully in the next month or so we will have some kind of open house or get together so everyone can come on over and check out our new place. We haven't entertained at our own place AT ALL since we got married cause we've been in an apartment, and I feel bad. Well now we will hopefully be entertaining a lot more.

Just recouping!!!

Thanks guys for all your comments and thoughts and prayers!! I am doing much better today. I am still very sore and crampy, but alive and well. They pump your body cavity full of air when they go in to do these surgeries, so it just kind of makes you really achy and sore all over. Your body has to try and push it out, which takes a little while. So, on top of the surgery, you have really bad "gas" cramps. My lower abdominals are really sore and pretty bruised where they were poking around, but they should be quite a bit better in a few days. I did have a few weird side effects of the anesthesia, but hopefully when it wears off over the next few days those will go away. I am not supposed to lift anything over 20 pounds for 2-3 weeks, so I can't really help do the moving. I am also having a different kind of injection into my back a few days before we move, so I'm kind of out for the count for a little while. It's really hard for me not to do much, but I find that if I try, I'm definitely in more pain. So, I figured I should listen to the doctor and lay low. Thanks again for all your prayers! Jesse and I really coveted them over the last few days!!

How quickly life changes!!

So, I just spent the last two days in the hospital after having emergency surgery... Yuck! That is all I have to say about it. Apparently I had a cyst on my right ovary that had burst, and it happened to be filled with blood. It wasn't just a tiny little cyst either. It was about the size of a tennis ball!! So, when it burst it sent about 200cc of blood into my pelvic cavity. Very painful by the way. So this all happened early Tuesday morning at about 4:00 am. I had been cramping all night, but didn't really pay much attention to it. Then about 3:30 in the morning it woke me up and was really strong. At that point I almost passed out the pain was so intense. So, we went to Valley Hospital and the did an ultrasound and blood counts right away. They could tell exactly what it was from the ultrasound so they decided to surgery as soon as they could get an OR. I went in for surgery about 12:00pm on Tuesday. The rest is all history!! I got home from the hospital at about 10:30 today. So, I just thought I would update everyone in case you hadn't heard.
