Health update

I was finally released from el hospital on Wednesday. My mother in law drove me to meet up with my mom, where I now continue to recover.



My legs yesterday morning.

I continue to lose the extra water in my legs. Yesterday I went out to look at a Pomeranian puppy. Holding her really made me miss my Vinny.


And although she was a very cute dog, I didn't get the YES vibes. So we will continue looking to find him a companion. For now, I just can't wait to play with him again!!

After we went to see the pup I went out to lunch at Chillis. I looked a little less sickly than days passed, I even put on makeup yesterday :).

We then went to target to get some pants that fit me, make me feel less grungy. Exercise pants are a step up from sweat pants. Check out these cute sock slippers my Mama got me.



After the long day my feet were puffy again and it was nice to soak in the tub, wash my body of all the hospital adhesive residue.

Today was pretty fun. I got to do a little book training for a position I am going to take over at Barebones/Tifie Ranch. I also got to go out and take some pictures for their website. I am pretty beat, but it was nice to get some sun and fresh air.

Making Lists





A little tragedy has hit my small family. When I am ready to talk about it I will, but for now, I want to share some lists of things I want to getworking on to help me heal.


1) Scooter. Get Stella registered! I drove it last summer, but never registered the plates. I am part of Brigham Bees Scooter Club. They go on rides every few weeks. The first ride is April 7th, and I want to be able to go on it! On top of registering it, I need to get spring cleaning done, a new battery, and wash and wax. I have been wanting to do a new paint job, if anyone has any ideas I am open! Right now its all black. T
he pictures above is not mine, although it would be pretty sweet to have a side car :)


2)Puppy. We have loved having Vinny. Even though he is still a little stinker at times. We want to get him a girlfriend though. I saw this little black pom online today :) She was a little too big for Vinny, but we'll keep looking. I love dogs. Ev
eryone should have a pet in my opinion.


3) Ring. March's gemstone is aquamarine. I can't talk about this right now.
4) Camping. We are trying to set up a trip in May to go to Zions National Park, or at least its surrounding area. I want to get out in nature. I love taking pictures and there are a lot of natural wonders down there in Utah.

There are so many other things that I have been thinking about, and its still weird that I will be able to do them now. At this point I will just continue to heal, yes that means you blood pressure!! Go DOWN so I can get some fresh air.

Coloring

I had a pretty productive day today. I made it on time to class! Go me!!
Next time I get pregnant I will make sure to not have a 8:00 AM math class. This morning I propped my feet up on a chair in class. I could care less what people are thinking. It was really helpful. I also did it during my labs and when I worked on homework.
All you need to do is look at my feet, then you'd understand! I have noticed a little change today. When I prop my feet up the swelling goes down! A little, but yesterday nothing I did seemed to help. Hoping that means I am on the mend.

My salon is in the processes of hiring a new stylist. I watched a potential hire do a haircut. And while I waited I practiced some ombré highlighting on the mannequin. Keep in mind, this is just one of many different ways/colors you can do. If I had long hair I would do it.



Mannequin hair doesn't like to process very well when it comes to coloring.


I am going to be doing something like this on my cousin Krista next week! She has long hair and it will look gorgeous.

I am not going to hunger games tonight in case anyone was wondering ;)

5 more weeks

And this semester will be over!!! I really can't tell you how much I want it to end.
Math. Statistics. It's been great for my brain, challenging myself and all, but can it please be over? I think if I had a spring break I wouldn't go back to school. Plus one for BYU.
I was just on campus for 4.5 hours. My legs are hurting, my brain is hurting. I have a wonderful husband who let me visit him at work. And fed me.



He needs a hair trim.

Sometimes when life gets stressful(and painful in my case), it's hard to stay positive. I think it's okay to not be 100% positive all the time. I don't care when people complain now and then. So long as its not every time you talk with someone.

I sort of feel like I am complaining all the time, especially to Perry. I have reason to!

But I am going to try and be better and not voicing my complaints to him as often. I am so lucky to have my little family. Look at this dog.



He is so cute. And he makes me happy. So does my husband. And our soon to be baby girl.

Life sucks sometimes but it could be worse!

Little Baby

Making me so sick! Why?



Cute little profile

Story about my feet. So last week I started swelling, not a little, a lot. I took it easy Saturday-Monday and the swelling went down, except around my ankles. They feel bruised.
I visited my uncle and he got me started on some supplements. Hoping it helps! I am also going to have to cut back on work hours, so maybe the swelling will be manageable, at least a little..



The smallest my feet have looked for almost a week.

Yay for motherhood I guess. Lol

Coincidence?

Perry and I were looking through our senior yearbook. All of the seniors signatures were collected and used as the inside lining of the book. Look whose names ended up side by side...



A little cool coincidence
