Pictures will be following!

Well, Needless to say life has been crazy. My grateful list goal was shot to heck. I think it’s been over a month, and I have ample excuses. Let me give you a few (I will go into more detail on each later in the post):

SURGERY. Surgery, and SURGERY.

Oh MY Hell life sucks after surgery. People say that, but the reality is IT REALLY REALLY sucks. They ended up doing a lot more than they thought they would have too, and I ended up taking 2 weeks off work not just the 1-week like I had hoped. (That just means no vacation time for a while).

Let me tell you details: they cut out my tonsils, and adenoids, then they cut back some of my nose (the actually bone), then re constructed the inside of my nose (20 stitches on the inside and casts holding it open) and then the kicker… they found a growth in the air passage way under my left eye so they drilled into my skull and cleaned it out. OUCH.

I was bruised from the drilling, and actually ended up throwing up blood in the hospital and ripped my incision making recovery really really hard. I could only sip on warm things, Coco and ramen was my life. It was awful.

On the other hand, my sister Teri was my mom in the hospital. She saved me. She went right into go mode and made sure my business was covered. She got pissed that after I threw up in the hospital, and 5 nurses were like looking around clueless as to what to do, she snapped them right out of it. Heaven sent Teri!

My roommate Malorie stayed the night with me and took me potty… I could not walk alone and she was so kind. We had 1 am photo shoots were it looks like we both went under the knife, what sympathy she has. I love her, and feel so grateful we live together (moving to Ogden really was an answered prayer wasn’t it?)

Then Ceri. Oh ceri. She put up with my post surgery care and she was AWESOME. Since I had never had anything medically done before I was so grateful to be some where with a sister who was so aware of the need.

My medication ran out, (God bless the makers of Lortab) but I went all weekend with out some before we hit up the doctor on Monday. Let me tell you, and apologize to those of you who received hate texts. I really am a nice person, just in A LOT of pain. Tons.
Anyway, I felt like an update may be needed… now that’s over with we can get to fun stuff right? Let us hope.

Let the Marriage games begin, and may the best man win!!!

(I’m still the same Cher)

ahhh

So I haven't been as good at keeping up with my blog... but every day is a new day right!

I'm so grateful for...

#1 The old guy at the cemetery. I live about a block away from a cemetery. I drive by it tons, and I have come to be touched by how people treat the graves of their loved ones. Specifically there is this one older guy. He goes and shovels the snow and the grave always has beautiful flowers on it. When I see him I think of how loved that person is and how I want to love some one that purely one day.
#2 White feelings. I am SO excited! I'm getting all the fillings replaced in my mouth! FINALLY. This has been one of my goals for years. I am so excited and thrilled. Getting all these replaced checks off one last thing from my "before I get married" List.
#3 Samantha. A couple months ago my friend Samantha moved to Utah. I love her. She and her husband are from Louisiana and got stationed here, he is a Captain in the Air Force. I just adore them. They have that cute southern accent I came to Love will I was "staying" in Tennessee. Not only that, but she is such a good friend and fun to be around. She is a therapist for people who have attempted Suicide so the stories never end!!! LOVE IT, LOVE HER, LOVE the Accent.
#4 mineral make up. What more needs to be said?
#5 Buying my niece a wax kit. AWESOME she does my eye brows. We tried to do my legs but all i can say is OUCH. My female moustache should be scared. Very scared.
