A day on the town

Landon and I didn't quite make the deadline for getting Christmas cards out this year. I was busy taking other people's pictures instead of getting ours done. lol ;-) Carlye, one of my best friends since junior high is a phenominal photographer. I remember when we were younger how we would always have camera's with us. Most of our pics looked the same because we took so many of just the two of us. The famous hold the camera out and take a close up. lol Now we are both running our own photography businesses. I am very proud of her and love her work. I know you will too! Thanks Car! The pictures should really be going in opposite order, but I wasn't able to organize them after they posted. So, the first one is actually the last one we took as we were all frozen solid. ;-)

A successful amputation

Just joking with all of you. Lol There was no amputation. For all of you who didn't know I had surgery on my foot yestersay. I had an extra bone removed from the middle side if my right foot and a bunion. They had to peel back my tension, remove the accessory bone and scar tissue, then reattached the rest of my tension to my regular bone. Surgery went well. We waited for about 2 1/2 hours before they actually took me back so I got a little anxious but once I was taken back I was well taken care of. They gave me a slow IV for about 20 mins and my doc came in to talk to me. Then my anesthesiologist came in and gave me the good stuff:) I told him to give me a lot cuz I didn't wanna remember anything. He said,"my dear, you wont remember a thing possibly not even this visit." As soon as they took me in the operating room I was feeling pretty loopy. They had me move from one bed to my operating bed and that's the last thing I remember until I woke up in recovery an hour and a half later. I was in and out of it pretty much all of last night. I have the best husband and family who I appreciate so much. My cute hubby made me a stand for our bed so the blankets wouldn't touch my feet, my brother-in-law came and brought me jamba even though his baby is sick, and my mother-in-law came right after work to keep me company. They may not feel like it was much,but truly I appreciated it more than they know: ) I'm so blessed to have such wonderful in laws that have always treated me just like family. There's never a time they're not there for me. And I couldn't ask for a better care taker than my husband. He nurtured me so sweetly. I love you all!

Turning 24 in style!

I told Landon that all I wanted for my birthday this year was to spend some time with my family. When I was still living at home with my mom and step dad we would go camping almost every other weekend. Since I've gotten married and life has gotten so busy I haven't had the chance to go with them as often. So, I called my mom and we got it all planned out. My aunt's boyfriend owns a bunch of property at Yuba Lake. He was nice enough to set up camp on his property and have pretty much the whole side of the lake to ourselves. We brought the wheeler and dirt bike and my parents brought one of their wheelers and their boat. We didn't end up riding the bikes that much. We spent most of our time on the boat. We did some tubing with the little ones and us older kids did wake boarding. I got up for my first time! :-) I wasn't able to stay up for very long, but at least I got up. lol We ate good food, relaxed, sat by the fire, watched some movies and just enjoyed being together. This was one of mine and Landon's first trips with my fam so it was nice to have that quality time for them to get to know him better. I know they love him. And I think that them seeing how happy we are together makes them love him even more. We had a great time with you guys! Lets do it again soon! Love you!
