Fourteen years two days ago...

Scott picked me up late morning to go to lunch. We made a pit stop off the road to go down by Town Lake. I knew the area well, I used to run through there a few days a week. I wondered, kinda, what was going on. Why was he going down by Austin High school? He came around and helped me out of the Jeep (which he still does today in any car) and walked me to a clearing by the lake and jogging path. It was a secluded area. He held my hand and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him and be his queen. I remember dropping to my knees too, crying. He told me I had to stand. I was down with him anyway. Of course I said yes. We had met two months and one day prior and I KNEW he as the man I was to spend eternity with.

As promised, he took me to lunch. We went to Red Lobster. Yum! He had not picked out my ring and wanted me to help him so off we went to the mall to ring shop. I went home and had a ring on my finger. OOPS we had done things backwards. Scott asked permission AFTER I had a ring on my finger. That didn't go over well with my step mom and my dad.

Of course I was over the moon! Looking back today on that afternoon. I am amazed that we knew after 2 months. I'm so glad we found eachother. He did have to wait a while for me. THank you Scott, for waiting for me to grow up. He was on his mission when I was in middle school. Thank you Heavenly Father for putting us in the right place to meet.

Life has been good to us.

Facial cellulitis

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin

Goodbye Nala (graphic warning)

  The past 22hrs have been excruciating. 22hrs ago we were sitting down to a late dinner after helping buck hay. Ramen Noodles, the dinner of champions, ya know. We heard this HORRIBLE noise. None of us had a clue what it was. Someone said "It sounds like someone is dieing. Little did we know it was OUR dog! Scott went out to investigate. He was gone for a few minutes and when he came in, he had this look. I said "Do I need to come?". "yes" was the answer I popped up and threw shoes on. When I went outside I saw a car in the middle of the road with a dog BEHIND it. My thought was it was Danny and Nala was sitting there worried. When I went up the boy (17) driving said "she ran out in front of us". It took a minute to realize he was refering to my dog. She was on the ground mangled. Her back legs were a twisted mess. Not much blood but you could hear her troubled breathing. I thought the problem was just her legs. Later I found out d

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa
