Busy busy...

One day it will slow down for us! But I guess this is not the time! LOL

So quickie update on our lives. Aren't you excited to read all about it? :) Our kitchen is coming along nicely, it is almost done! They installed the counters on Thursday! It looks beautiful. I'll post pics soon, our cord is broken on the camera and I can't upload to the computer. But you'll see it! It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We feel totally blessed by God for this gift!

Well let's see. last weekend, mom was having cardiac symptoms and ended up at the hospital for the weekend. She is doing better but we are waiting on test results from a stress test to see if cardiac cath is needed. But she is OK for now. Then on Thursday, I had been feeling under the weather and began to have GI issues at work. My breakfast wasn't staying down if you catch my drift. Well after 3 times of that, my body had enough and I was getting ready to go home early and rest when I stood up too fast and passed out. Scared one of my kids (and myself) half to death! Wacked the desk, have beautiful bruises on my arm...So the office called 911 and EMS came and transported me to the hospital... UGH EMBARRASSING! Unfortunately not the first time I've passed out from puking to much. My heart gets very irritated if I'm getting dry. So needless to say, my heart rate was in the 150's and I was not feeling very good. But they got me hooked up to IV's and fluids and a lovely drug called Zofran. Thank you Lord for Zofran!! Stopped the nausea! So my blood work came back WAY elevated, and they had to rule out Appendicitis. Luckily the CT scan was negative. Just a bad bug. So 7 hours, 3 Liters of fluids and drugs later, I was discharged to the comforts of my home! I stayed home on Friday and am feeling MUCH better now! No more ickies! JUst a bit tired still.

So Friday was Matt's 31st birthday! Old fart is he! So we spent dinner with his Granddad and I had bought him an ice cream cake and I put trick candles and sang happy bday to him. It was cute, took a cup of water and lots of hot air to get the candles to go out! LOL Well, I was using a serrated knife to cut the ice cream cake and um, talking on the phone (not a recommended combo!) and my hand slipped and the knife sliced into my hand about 1/2 inch. OUCH!!! (God forgive me for the words that came out of my mouth!!) I was on the phone with my mom and scared her half to death! LOL Well we ended up at the Urgent care center b/c it was a deep cut, not real big, just goes down about 1/2 in. But b/c it is a puncture wound, they couldn't stitch it and it needed to be left open to drain, AND I'm on heavy duty antibiotics for infection. *sigh* Always something! So its nice and bandaged, looks good, not getting infected, but MAN it is amazing how this little thing HURTS!!!! So moral for the day? Do NOT stick a knife in your hand! Or talk on the phone while USING a big knife!!! I had a recheck today and it looks OK per the MD. Just have to keep it clean and covered and follow up if worsens.

SO. That is it for the update. See why I haven't been on in a while? Just busy life as always. Our infertility life is at a dead stand still for now. My system isn't quite back to par after the last round of treatments. Guess it's God telling us we need a break. (Like we didn't already know that!!) Was having a bad, "woe is me" moment the last day or so and my heart is heavy with the yearning for our children. My arms are physically sore from the emptiness they hold. Anyway, we had a wonderful conversation with a pastor from our church today, able to share our story, and our struggle. We were able to open up to him and just share our heartache and burden. He is a blessing to us and prayed with us!! It helped, really helped!

So that's it for now. Off to rest and do some laundry. Have a blessed day in the Lord!

Happy Birthday

TO ME!! I am officially 29 today!!! YOWSA! My last year as a 20-something!!! OIY!

We are celebrating at matt's mom's house with my folks and bro and SIL too....Should be fun! Can't wait! :)

The kitchen is coming right along. WE have cabinets on one side!! YAY!!! He is putting the island in today... and the microwave/hood thingy....I'll post some pics when I get home!!

So short and sweet. Have a blessed day in the Lord!

YAY!! SO LONG FAREWELL!

Our kitchen is GONE GONE GONE!!!

AND the cabinets come today! I'm so excited!!! So he is gonna start working on installing them today. He has been replacing drywall and re-mudding and stuff yesterday. We went and bought the paint. (Same color yellow we just did).

I'm excited! Things are moving along!! WOO HOO! So I'm gonna try and post a few pics. Have a blessed day in the LORD!


These are the BEFORE pictures:

And these are AFTER demo pictures:

Its DEMO DAY!!!!!

WOO HOO!!! The long awaited demo day has arrived!!! They are ripping out our kitchen today!! woo hoo!!! Cabinets are due to arrive on WEDNESDAY!!!!! YAY!

so here's a little kicker to the lovely demo day. The A/C broke on Friday....YIKES! it was so hot in the house I coulda screamed!!! 90 when I got home, only to 87 after airing out the place! Turns out our only 3 y/o compressor BLEW and now we need a new one...Luckily the unit itself is under warranty, but not the labor! :( BOO HOO....So along with demo day, it is also get-a-new-air-conditioner-day.... YAY!!! Just more money down the drain!! *sigh* oh well, at least it won't me a million degrees!!!

Now Matt braved it out this weekend, he actually stayed in the sweltering heat called our house. I couldn't take it, even for 10 min, so I packed up the pup and high tailed it (ha ha) to mom's house....Which thankfully had air conditioning! of course it also had 2 very hairy cats who like to shed all over Oma's house which happens to be where I slept, so now I'm all congested and nasally...*sniff sniff*...Ah but sweet A/C...I was actually cold last night! where as Matt is having to take a cold shower this morning!!

So I'll post pics of the beginning and the start of demo tonight when I go home to my a/c filled house!! YAY! Till then, have a blessed day in the LORD!!!

OCTOBER!!

OK, i find it very hard to believe that it is already October!! Holy cow!!! My bday is next week! EEEK I'm gonna be 29!! Almost in my 30's...YOWSA!

Not to much going on in our neck of the woods. The demo of our kitchen is starting next Monday, so I have this week to get the kitchen cleared out of all the junk, I mean STUFF we have accumulated in 5 years!!!! (Its more then I thought! YIKES!)

We had a very nice weekend, relaxing and such! Matt worked, I did laundry. Oh and I got my MASSAGE that Matt bought for me for our anniversary!!! Ahhh, so relaxing! I got my fingers and toes painted too!!! Purdy colors for fall!!! Matt is so good to me!!
