FINALLY an update

Well, I guess I better do a quick update since I haven't posted in awhile. Things are going really well. I have started on Christmas gifts because I can't stand to wait until the last minute. I have to start thinking about it in July so I can start preparing. Good times. I can't help that I like to make most of my gifts because it just makes it a little more special in my book.
My boobs are healing good. WARNING--nastiness ahead! Most of my scabs have fallen off now and there are a few spots where you can actually see some of the stitches pushing their way through to get OUT of my body. Most of the swelling has gone down and I can even sleep on my sides now. So...to answer the question from my previous post....YES, it is worth it! My back still hurts when I sit at the computer all day but in a few months I think I will be as good as new. Ryan has been "busy" working for American Fork city. They "make" him drive up the canyons, watch hunting videos all day long and occassionally he even has to fix a sprinkler or two. What a hard job he has. At least he doesn't come home grumpy so I am fine with that! Work is still going good in the drug testing business. It has been a busy month which makes the time go by extremely fast. I did watch the last debate the other night and thought McCain held his own. I am still undecided on the 'who to vote for' front. Maybe Independent? Well, the next couple weekends will be busy so I will update on those cuz it is FUN stuff happening.

Hunting Season Yet Again....

So, Ryan decided he need to spend a few days out on the desert looking for deer. This week is the hunt and he took Wednesday-Friday off of work. Well, last weekend he went out and decided he needed to get a head start and find where the deer were so that he could be ready for this week. He didn't have much luck, BUT...he did find a nice coyote he decided he should shoot. These pictures have been photoshopped for the stomach sensitive ones as they were orginally pretty bloody. He is very proud as this is his FIRST coyote he has shot this year. He cut the tail off and is going to do something with it though I do not know what. Hopefully sell it for some big money...like $25. haha! It was pretty disgusting but it is what he loves. He was very proud so I guess I was too.

Breast Reduction-Worth It?!?

So...most of you know that I decided to have a breast reduction. Well, on September 9th it all happend. I showed up to the hospital at 10:30 am. I then sat in the little room with an IV in my hand until 1:00 pm because the anesthesiologist got held up at another surgery. They finally took me back to surgery and Ryan went and met up with his mom. They waited together. They were told my surgery would only last a couple of hours. Well, after 4 hours they hadn't heard anything so they went to the nurses station trying to get information. After another hour of that, with still no update, someone finally came and told them that the surgery took longer than normal because they found a tumor the size of an EGG. They said they seemed to get it all and it came back benign which is really good. After post-op and recovery I finally got to go home and by then it was about 10:30 pm. That was the worst night ever. I had drains coming out of my armpits and I needed help to even stand up and/or go to the bathroom. I finally got a sponge bath on Thursday after 3 days of nastiness. Friday the 12th I went to the doctor for my check up and they removed the drains and cotton and bandages. Then they gave me this surgical bra that I have to wear for the next 3 weeks...night and day. Good thing Ryan is such a good husband. He has been helping me change my bra, shower, washing my hair, helping me get dressed, etc. It has been a rough week and a half to say the least. I finally got my appetite back a few days ago. I also went to another doctor's appointment today (the 19th) and he said everything is looking good and healing good. He gave me persmission to drive come Monday....finally!!!! He did however tell me that they would be somewhat swollen and misshapen for the next 3 or so months! YIKES! Not looking forward to that by any means. I know you are all anxious to see pictures so I will get some posted as soon as possible. I went from a size E (or close to) to a C. Pretty much in half...good times and hopefully in a few months I will be happy with my decision.

My very FIRST entry!

So, I have been wanting to start a blog for awhile now but I always thought "what would Ryan and I have to post about?" Well, the answer to that is ANYTHING WE WANT TO! So here we go.... Last night Angie (Ryan's sister) called us and said they were at the store and they had a Wii Fit. I have been wanting one forever! So, they bought it for us and we paid them back and I decided it would be my birthday present (which my bday is on the 28th). So, Ryan and I hooked it all up and went through the set up process. It told me my BMI is too high and that my posture isn't very good. lol! What can I say..I sit at a desk all day long. Anyway, I did some strength training and aerobics and it seriously kicked my butt. I was sweating, which is disgusting, but I felt really good afterwards. I think this is going to be a great purchase! I recommend them to all who want to get in shape AND enjoy themselves all at once. Ryan and I couldn't quit giggling about it. Along with last night we did watch more olympics (which I am ADDICTED to and watch all hours of the night). We saw Misty May and Kerri Walsh win their second consecutive GOLD MEDAL in beach volleyball. It was awesome. Other than that it was my second night in a row where I got very little sleep and tossed and turned all night long. Lame-o!
