Brad!

The week before I went into the hospital I was able to tend my cousin Brad while his parenets went to Brazil! 9 days with Brad is just not enough. He is so sweet and can turn any bad day into the best day ever with his cute smile and laugh.
some of us girl cousins decided it would be fun to take Brad out with just the girls. He LOVED it! he was so excited he hardly even ate any dinner lol
I also had these crazy boys with me while I was watching Brad. Liam & Conner!

Brad, Conner & Britt


I was also able to take pictures of Britt while her parents were in Brazil.

It was an amazing week with Brad. I don't know why but being around Brad makes me so emotional. His sweet spirit and happiness is incredible.

I am so greatful Kellen and I were able to stay with him!

It was not an easy week since it was the week before my long hospital visit but I have such an amazing family who came and helped whenever I needed it.

Cheryl! get ready for another vacation, we want to watch Brad again soon!

hospital update

A lot of you know that I have been having some medical problems and just spent the last five days in the hospital.
When people ask me why, I never know exactly how to explain it to people. That is why I love my blog. I can write and not have to try and explain my weird body over and over lol

I have what is called ulcerative colitis and was diagnosed with it over two years ago. It is a life long trial I will have. When I was diagnosed with it I got my colon into remission in no time! This time was a different story.
I was having some stomach aching and went to my AMAZING doctor that I just love and he told me I had what is called C-diff colitis. I was put straight on an antibiotic and got rid of it in less than two months but because of the C-dfff colitis my Ulcerative colitis got out of remission!
I was having a hard time keeping anything in me and throwing everything up because I got so dehydrated. On Easter sunday I spent the evening in the hospital getting hydrated and still didn't feel great when I went home. Then two weeks later I went to an insticare for some fluids but ended up in the ER the next day [just in Wyoming lol] and got three bags of fluids and still didn't even have to go to the bathroom. My sister was freaking out that I still didn't have to and she was right.. I had a blessing Saturday night and had the best nights rest in the longest time! came home from wyoming and ended up in the hospital for five days. They had me on many medications that I am finally taking not through an IV! but I sure did love my IV.
I had amazing nurses that I will be seeing at the mall lol never at the hospital again.

This is where I get emotional, My family and friends. I don't even know where to begin! My husband.. he was there every second he could be just taking care of me and loving me. I gave him a couple scares that made him emotional but I know this made us even stronger than we already were. I love him so much!!! My parents.. awww. I have the best parents. Every single night I was there I had one of my parents on one side of me and Kellen on the other. They were both with me every second they could be as well. My mother and father in law were there to visit me every single night and made sure I knew how much they love me! It meant more to me than they know. I had so many family members come and my best friend Ashli and her family [who is family]. My sister started to pack to come be with me but we convinced her I was ok and she could stay in Wyoming. I received many flowers and cards! I don't know how I got so lucky to have my family.
one of my nurses had said to me that I have the most loving family.. I always knew I did but when a grave yard shift nurse can see it too just makes my heart melt. I am so greatful for all my family. All the phone calls it all helped me get through it.
Thank you!!!

on a funny note: the same nurse who loved my family said to me, I have been looking at you all day trying to figure out who you look like.. you will never guess who she said. Jessica Alba! ha! of coarse I think that is a compliment since she is a cute girl but serious? I was in a hospital bed.. my hair was having its naturalness and my make up is no where in sight! hahahaha I wish!

I finally got home today but will be in my bed for a while longer.
Thank you everyone for your love and concern. I am the luckiest girl ever!

blessings

I was so excited about tonight that I couldn't wait to blog about it :) tonight Kellen and I got our Patriartical blessings. We have been waiting a while to get them and have been feeling nervous, excited and anxious. We invited both our parents and had a very special blessing for us both.. tears were shed and thoughts were shared. We then went to Village inn and had dinner/breakfast lol It was a great, great night!! Thank you to our parents for raising us and for being there for us! It meant so much to have them all there.

amazing!

I have the best siblings in the world!!!!

I have been struggling with life things lately and I am so greatful to have the siblings and family I have to help me through it all.

My siblings cry in stereo.. and I just love each and every one of them.

I am so proud of each of them too..

Emily is the best mom I hope one day I can be as good of a mom as she is! She always has the greatest advice. Kellen always jokes that nothing is approved unless I talk to Emily first lol

Ryan is in accounting school and is a genius.. he knows EVERYTHING, has the sweetest personality and has sexy hair ;)

Jeremy just graduated from nursing school and is going to be a great nurse that anyone would be lucky to have.

Travis is mr fireman. He has the sweetest heart and is so kind to everyone he comes in contact with. He is so aware of when I am in need of a sholder to cry on.

I don't know where I would be in my life if I didn't have all of these siblings of mine.

Thank you all for always being there for me and for being my best friends:)

Love you guys!

Wednesday



For the last two months? My friend Ashli, her brother Skylar and I have been going to an institute class.
I absolutely LOVE this class. The teacher is amazing.
She knows exactly how to touch your heart.
I have gone to class struggling with things in my every day life...
and left having a hard time not crying because the lesson and things she said
were exactly what I needed to hear.
I am so greatful that Skylar came home from his mission and invited us to join him
so I could have these blessings in my life.
P.s... my sister comes in 4 days!!!!!!!!:)
