Long lost family..

I'm sitting at work scrolling through the pictures on my camera and I came across pictures from a few weeks ago when mom and I got to see Bean and Aunt Susie! I haven't seen them in FOREVER! Bean is going to cosmetology school and will be done sometime here in March and Aunt Susie is apparently still loving Alaska! The last time that I saw either of them was a LONG time ago at Schamp Camp... haha For those that don't know what that is it is when grandma and grandpa Schamp take all the grandkids for a week during the summer and just have fun! No parents are allowed! Lol.. It's a joyus time! So it's been a while since I last saw them! Also, in one of the photo s is our cousin Dustin. Who has had somewhat of a hard time in the last few years but hopefully he can pull it together with the help of others and start to come around the family more often! Love you Dust. For all of those family members that haven't seen them in a while.. here are a few pictures! ENJOY!

Puppy!

Although she has yet to have a name.. There is a new puppy in our lives! Mike got a new dachsund puppy from one of the girls that I work with. She is his new love! haha She's about six weeks now and is a bundle of energy! She loves to chase her shadow and "bark" at things! It's cute! She has been welcomed into our family by Neiko & Chewe-e and has proven that she can handle her own! She's a cutie! So... here she is!

Six Months.

Mike and I have been dating for six months. I know it seems like a little amount of time for some people but for the two of us it's a while.. and we'll keep on pluggin away and challenging eachother! Mike has made quite a bit of progress in the last six months! I will never forget the day that he made the decision to get baptised! He is an amazing man and i'm very proud of him! I know it's been a short amount of time, but if you know you know, and he is the one I want to be with FOREVER!

A rough couple of weeks..

As some may already know i've had a rough last few weeks. About two weeks ago I went to the doc and found out that I had a cyst (in the not so good area). By that next tuesday it was unbareable for me to even sit in my desk chair at work. I went home early that day and by the time I was out of the office I couldn't even see to drive I was crying so hard! Eventually, I made it home. When I got there (thank goodness) mom was there. We called my doc and wasn't able to get in, so, we called Dr. Laura.. haha. She is a good family friend, a dr., and I knew she would get us in! She said come down now and we'll check it out. It took her and two other dr's to look at it. The decision was made to book an OR. We did, and by eight that night I was ready for surgery. After a quick and painless (becuase I was knocked out) surgery I was headed to recovery. I had a quick stay in the hospital and was on my way home a day later! I've since followed Doc's orders and am feeling MUCH MUCH better! I was off for a few days and realized how much I REALLY won't be able to not work and be home all day! Don't get me wrong it was nice to wake up at nine, take a nap at one, and be in bed by nine thirty. It was the being home all day (not being able to do anything) that got me. So, it's been a rough two weeks but i'm pushing through.
