We're still alive!!

So I don't have much time but things are going good. We're happy and we love each other, thats all that matters.

Merry Jo

Merry Jo is one of my younger sisters. She just graduated high school in May and is dating a wonderful guy named Tommy. I got a text around 530 am today from Merry Jo saying that she had been rushed to the hospital last night but she was going to be okay. She had overian cysts, only recently found that out about 1 1/2 months ago when the first one burst. Well last night she was out with Tommy at a friends house when this one burst. Thankfully her friend is her doctor's niece and her brother is in medical school. Merry Jo passed out and than started throwing everything and anything up. Couldn't breathe because of all the pressure going on inside. Nasty business. The Docter/uncle told them to take her straight to the hospital. It turns out that when this cyst burst, it also ruptured an artery in her stomache. She had 2 liters of blood pumped out of her stomache and was then given 2 liters of new blood. The doctor in the ER told her and my mom and Tommy that if she had been any later, she could had died from the amount of blood in her stomache. SO thankfully, I still have a younger sister named Merry Jo. Brig and I went and saw her for a little bit this morning. She'll be there til sometime tomorrow afternoon.

A day in the kitchen

So yesterday I had most of my family over. My mom, Emily and Kambri. Damon, Tanner, and Jedera. Mom came to teach me how to make bread the correct way even though I have the recipe, though no one makes it like she does. I can say it turned out delicious. But off story. The kids came along to swim and Emily took Kambri into the pool as well. I can honestly say that Emily looks better in my swim suits while pregnant than I do. Which is good for her and a little depressing for me but its in the works to fit them all!!! Kambri didn't like the pool all that much but she loved looking down at everyone from the balcony over looking the pool. Brig was hanging on for dear life to Tanner. Thank good Tanner is a good uncle and loves his nephew. So Mom and everyone left around 430 pm. Tyler was on the phone setting up a job interview with Chase Bank (keep your fingers crossed!!!) so he didn't get to say good-bye. Any ways, I was taking out the bread shortly after that when Brig came into the kitchen. I told him Hot! Don't touch! I guess he thought I was talking about the oven door because he tried to push in the oven rack with his bare hand. Oh how he cried and I felt terrible. I wanted to cry too. So I ran his hand under cold water and than some aloe. Also some baby Tylenol because I didn't have anything else for him. I gave him an ice pack too. He thought that was great fun! He stopped crying and kept putting it on his head or in his mouth. I looked at his hand this morning, it wasn't to pretty. His right hand has some nasty blisters on it. 2 fingers and the pad of his hand between the 2. Today there was an occasional ouch but he didn't seem to notice it very much at all. I love my son. Its amazing how fast time is going. He'll be 2 in August and he still loves to cuddle with me like when he was born.

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

They are now officially engaged to be married this fall!!! September 26th is the word and day

A Wedding, 2 dogs, & lots of family

So its been awhile since I've posted anything. Lets see if I can remember all thats happened. Still looking for jobs. We'll most likely end up moving in with either set of parents but who knows just yet. Brig is just getting big and big and is skinny like his daddy. He's saying lots of new words and you can almost get full sentences out of him (depends on the day). It was cute yesterday on the way to mom's house. He kept asking me where the babies were. I told him I didn't know where they were because I hadn't seen them. So then he asked about where his daddy was.
Brig and I went with my family to a cousin's wedding Memorial Day weekend in New Mexico. It was a rainy weekend but it was nice. The wedding was beautiful. The bride and groom very happy. They went to Hawaii for the honeymoon. We stayed with my Aunt Connie and her family. They also have 2 dogs. Now dogs used to scare Brig but by the time we left on Sunday, he was chasing those 2 dogs every where. He wouldn't go to bed at night until the dogs were in bed. He'd give them hugs and kisses but didn't like it when they tried to jump on him or lick him. The barking scared him some what but not to bad. Only if it was right in his face.
I got to talk to a cousin of mine that i haven't talked to since i was about 10 years old. She got married a few months before I did. It was nice catching up with her. There were family there from Utah, D.C., Arizona, and New Mexico. It was great. Don't get to see them very often anymore.

Janae & Casey

These are my friends Janae Brogan and Casey Unruh. They're recently engaged and are getting married September 26 or so I heard. I introduced them shortly after Tyler and I got engaged. I'm happy for them.

Three of my sisters

These are my 3 youngest sisters. As you can all see, they're gorgeous. Merry Jo (far left) is 18 and is starting to spread her wings. Beth (middle) is 16 and all the boys love her. Jedera (far right) is the youngest of us 10 kids at the age of 10. She's a pistol and always fun to be around. All of these girls are very sweet and are some of my best friends. They may be my sisters but they'll always be some of the best friends I ever find.
