HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This Halloween we decided to do a Fire THEME!!! Jacob and Mitch we firemen.... and well, I was Little Red FIRE hood!!! ha ha ha. We don't have much money so I had to find something cheap! Well we went trick-or-treating at the University Mall. It was a blast... Jacob loved the candy. The past couple of months have been sad and crazy for us. We just found out that Mitch didn't get into the Paramedic Program at UVU... SAD SAD day. It was so hard to open that letter and see the disappointment on his face. I felt (well for the past couple of weeks that he isn't suppose to go to UVU for this program anyways. He will apply to a few other colleges around the western states for next spring. It will be nice once he can get into a program. I got a job then quit after just one month. There is a certain amount of "F" bombs I can stand in one conversation. I just hate when people yell at me as well. Anyways.. It will be nice to finally relax a bit. Mitch is working at Lakeridge Jr. High. It's not a lot but it's something! Well My father is opening up a MULTIMEDIA STUDIO IN OREM!!!! YAY I am so excited. I will be managing the office so I guess that is a job! :) I will try to post more often.... To wrap up, Mitch and I are still in school at UVU. Jacob is almost walking and it's so crazy. That's all for now. :)

CRAZYNESS

Life has been crazy. Mitch is in the process of getting a job as a firefighter. It's hard because it's such a long process. I can't wait til he gets a job. I will be starting school again in May. I can't wait. I will continue my major as Dance education. I will start taking those classes in the fall and focus on my generals. We are so excited that Jacob is here after 18 long hours of labor and a C-section. He is a blessing to Mitchel and I. He is so well behaved. I can already tell that he is a daddy's boy. Everytime Mitch is at an intership between 12 and 48 hours he can tell. He just loves his daddy. On March 24th I had some right side pain. When I recently went to the ER on the 4th of March the Dr said that it was just cist exploding in my overies and made it swell. I didn't think anything of it on the 24th. I thought it was the same thing. The next morning I woke up. Mitch was at school I had the baby in the crib and the pain was terrible. I could barely pick Jacob up. When I struggled to walk upstairs, I knew something was wrong. I told my dad that I needed to go to the doctor. When Mitch got home, He took me to the Instacare where they told us to just go down to the ER to save money since we'd need a CT scan. We got to the ER and we walked right in. I had the same nurses as I did earlier in March. They could tell something was very wrong. Within 5 min after returing from the CT scan, they came back with the result. It was my appendix. They said I needed to be transported to Utah Valley to have it taken out. Mitch was able to transport me since he is an EMT. We walked into their ER and within 10 min I was in emergency surgery to get my appendix out. After I woke up I was in extreme pain. Air bubbles in my shoulders and throughout my body. It was horrible. The PA came into my room and explained that my appendix did burst at the tip and the whole thing would have burst if we came in any later. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days. After I was discharged I was in so much pain for about 5 days. I went to my one week appointment and they asked if i'd been taking my antibiotic. I told them I was never given one. I was in so much pain the told me to get another CT scan after they wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. the CT scan came up with lots of fluid still down there. They said the antibiotic would clear it up. I am now not in pain. It is such a great mood because of it. That has pretty much been the first part of our year. Lets just say my stomach has been through alot.

Something to blog about

I finally have something to blog about... today i went to the RCA where mitchel is attending school. we had a BBQ. it was great. after we were done eating, they took us to a benched area where we were able to see what they do every day at school. it was a little nerve racking but it was a blast to watch. i took some pictures so that i could scrapbook them. mitchel is so hard working and determined everyday to do his best. i'm so glad i was able to watch him do what he loves! i'll try to post the pictures soon

4 months later

It's been four months since I've blogged. I'm such a horrible blogger. To update everyone Mitchel is in the RCA at UVU. He loves it. It scares me half to death. He will be done with his firefighting class in December. I can't wait. Then he will get a firefighting job.. (hopefully)......I'm 25 weeks pregnant. We are having a little boy in January. I have been on bed rest for 1 month for torn ligaments in my hip. I have to go everywhere in a wheelchair. It has been one BUMPY ride. Mitchel and I love playing Yahtzee on the wii. We play it almost every night. We were fortunate enough to go the the Sunday afternoon session of conference. It was so powerful. It was Mitchel's first time in the conference center since it had been built. He pushed me up and down hills in my wheelchair all over SLC. What a trooper.

What A Crazy Few Months

WOW it's been forever since I have blogged... The NEWEST news is that Mitch is going to start school on June 9Th..... YA that took way too long. He will be taking only 13 credits (between 2 classes). He is going to school to become a Fire Fighter Paramedic. By the end of the summer he will be a certified EMT. Which is cool. He just figured out what he wanted to major in. I am excited for him. He has to do a physical test on July 11th so he is starting to train for that by running 2 miles every night. Let me just make it clear that if I run with him I'd die. Well til Next time.

JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!!!

Right now mitch and i are focusing on his job search. He has applied to over 125 jobs in the past couple weeks. He has an intervies in Murray (if that's how you spell it) on Wednesday. I am so excited I hope he gets it. He was also applies for jobs in Colorado, Arizona, St. George and Wyoming (still can't spell). I hope he gets one close cause I don't want to move far. If he gets this job we will be moving to the Draper west valley area in August (SO STOKED) but i can't get my hopes up oh boy. I'll update after his interview.

Long Time!

It's been along time since my last post. To keep everyone updated with our life we are doing fine. So nothing new. This past weekend, we traveled down to Cedar City to visit Mitch's family. It was okay. On Saturday, we drove down to St. George for his aunt Megan's wedding. It was so beautiful. She looked gorgeous. It was such a joy for us to go down and support her and Marty. They are such a cute couple. Sunday, we went down to Las Vegas to visit his Grandma. It was pretty fun. We shopped at Dollar Tree and went to a Buffet. the buffet was pretty good. Their was a huge variety of styles of food. I was mainly interested in the desserts!! I am not one who will experiment with food in Vegas. The last time I did that, I ended up eating squid. Not so pleasant. That is pretty much all that is new with us. Peace out!
