Happy Holidays!

Hello to all my blogging buddies! :) And Happy December! Its the holidays!!!

Thanksgiving was fun at my house. Not much to report there. University of Texas won their big football game, of course! That was fun to watch.

I figured I'd give an update for the holidays but there's really not much to say. I'm totally stressin out cuz of finals!!! But then it'll be Christmas break so I'll be okay if I can just pull through these next two weeks. And then next semester will start and then I'll really die! haha jk jk. 

My life has very little drama at the moment, which is very very very very nice :) So for anyone who really wants to know what I've been up to as of late, my reply will be the same as usual. All I seem to do anymore is work. Which is okay cuz I may have to get a new car soon. Mine is slowly dying :( It's been good to me though and I love it. I'm hoping it'll last me till summer at least! Pray for it! Haha

I'm already making my Christmas list, isn't that a CrAzY thought? 

Ummmm... yeah thats about it. I'll update y'all later! Much Love!

Movies, Dances, and Loves!

Hello Everybody! 

So I had something very profound to say and I totally forgot... Typical me! haha! Um, maybe I'll just ramble on for a few minutes till I remember. Okay. 

I saw James Bond last night!!! WAA! It's soooo good! However, it was a little hard to follow. Though I'm not sure if that was because I was just having a hard time with it, or if it's 'cuz I was distracted by the really cute boy sitting next to me holding my hand ;) heh heh heh... Hmmm...yes, it was a good movie. And far shorter than the first one! Oh then our whole group went to the park and played night games in the cold! Woo!

I'm registered for next semester already. I don't know why that's relevant but there ya go. I'm taking Chemistry, Biology, Math, Chinese II, and an international ballroom class! (I'm excited for that last one). Oh my heavens!!! That's what I was gonna say! My Competition! How silly of me to forget! Well, I made it to the semi-finals for cha cha (then they switched my partner and I didn't do so well...) and then my cha cha partner decided he wanted to polka with me (which was the voluntary part of the competition, cha cha was mandatory) so I thought "okay, whatever" and we ended up taking 2nd in the polka!!! I don't even know how to polka! I learned that day in class. So that was cool!

Um... this is really long and completely pointless. Fun nonetheless. For me anyways. 

Did I mention that Sister Julie Beck came to my singles ward 2 Sundays ago?! Well, she did. And she bore a lovely testimony!!! And sat right behind me in Relief Society. It was pretty neat. And then Melissa bore her testimony... I've never heard hers before and some of the things she said that day in church really changed my perspective on so much! And she doesn't even know how much that impacted me. It's amazing. 

Well, thats all for now I believe. I'll keep everyone updated I guess... Loves to all!

First of the Month Update

Happy Halloween!!! Late... haha 

So I don't have a whole lot to talk about. I've been doing great since surgery :) I went back to work for the first time Saturday night and performed wonderfully (I think anyways hehehe). There are only 2 things that haven't returned to normal yet: one, I still get exhausted quite easily and two, I don't have much of an appetite. I can eat a little more than a week ago but I can maybe eat 2 full meals a day and I don't even snack anymore (except for at bedtime, when I shouldn't be snacking of course). There's the update of fairy princess (me). ha. Okay... That's about it. Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween! Time to get excited for the holidays!!! KOZY 106.5 should be playing constant Christmas music now even though I think it's still a little too early for that... Oh well. Still fun :) I just have to worry about saving up to buy everyones Christmas gifts! Yikes! Rachel and Aaron let me know what you each want now and keep it under $20 please ;) hehe since I know you're probably the only ones who even read my blog... Anywho... Much love!

Yay! Surgery is Over!

Hello! Yes, I had surgery. Monday I went in to see the specialist who prodded my belly and said it was probably just a ruptured cyst (hence, the pain) and said I could spend the week on pain medications then come back to check in unless the pain got worse, in which case they would do surgery. I opted for the week on pain med's to get through it. 45 minutes later, I went back in such severe pain they sent me straight to the same-day surgery unit at the hospital where the nurses loaded me with pain medication. :) Yeah, it felt pretty good. That was at about 4 o'clock. At 8 o'clock, I was put under general anesthesia and taken into surgery finally. Oh yeah, Mark came to the hospital just before I went into surgery! Isn't that so sweet?! I have wonderful family. And a special thanks to my sister and my mom for helping me sooooo much on moday. I know I was a handful! haha they are both so good to me.

As it turns out, it was a very large cyst (NOT A TUMOR! YAY!) but it had wrapped around my ovary twice!!! Thus cutting off my blood supply to that ovary and causing me all that pain. The reason it looked like a tumor was because the cyst was actually full of blood clots. So the docs slit it open, suctioned everything out and irrigated it, then sewed me up and sent me away. Overall, it took about an hour. I have 3 tiny incisions on my stomach that they actually put one stitch in each and then superglued together! Cool, eh?! 

So today I've been home recovering. I watched the new episode of "House" and House finally kissed Cuddy! Hooray! (We all knew it was coming, I didn't spoil anything) I'm gonna laugh to see what happens next... And... Jeffrey came by tonight after all my other wonderful visitors had left, that made me quite happy :) haha so thats all for now. All my love!

My state of Loopiness

So I'm pretty loopy for the moment. The doctors put me on Lortab until I go in for surgery sometime this week. My friend drove me to church and laughed at me the whole 3 hours cuz I kept zoning out and I guess at one point I started making a funny noise. Suprisingly enough, I took in most of what was being said! 

Last night my sister did my make-up (she is fabulous at it! I feel so pretty every time she does) and I was able to go to a friends halloween party for a little while. It was really nice. The entire party ended up moving to my house cuz I had to take another Lortab (I'm on a 4 hour schedule for it) so that was great! I got to sit on my couch, in a state of loopiness, and socialize with some friends I haven't seen in awhile. 

I'll keep everyone updated on my crazy schedule this week... Pray for me! The fact that I have to go have a tumor taken out makes me just a little nervous... Oh well. haha! 

My life in a nutshell right now

Hello! So after much persistant bugging and nagging from my sister (whom I love), I have decided to blog. At the moment, I don't have anything better to do. I've been lying home on my back all day because I can't move. I spent six hours in the ER last night and after a CT scan and 2 ultrasounds, the doctors concluded that I have a tumor on my left ovary. It's not cancerous and really not even dangerous, but it has been causing some internal bleeding and thus has been extremely painful (hence, my trip to the ER). What's really funny is that I was in the ER 3 weeks earlier due to my peanut allergies. 

So my tumor is called a teratoma tumor (means: grotesque). Basically, its a bunch of unorganized stem-cells that gather together and form into different body parts. So for all I know, I could have a hand or an eyeball or even teeth growing inside of me! Haha It's pretty crazy. They're going to have to surgically remove it but its a minor surgery done mostly with cameras and lasers. So the incision will be minor and recovery only takes one day (thank goodness, cuz I have classes I really need to go to!) So that's my life right now... A little crazy but it'll get better quick. And then maybe I'll have normal stuff to talk about...maybe. haha!

Till I write again!
