Valentine Week

This week has been a fun one for me. I decided last week I wanted to do somehting special for Scott all week. Last Saturday we went out on our Valentine's Date. My mom watched the kids and we went to dinner and a movie. Our date was done, yet I wanted to so something little each day. I found the idea at Familyfun.com.

Monday was "Orange you glad I love you?" I made him his favorite cookies of all time and took them to him. Orange slice cookies!

Tuesday it was "I'm nuts about you" and I gave him pistachios, his favorite nut.

Today, Wednesday, he got a "Honeydew" list. Okay, I didn't give HIM a list, I gave him an opportunity to write a list for me. I did give him stipulations though, I do have 30#s of beef to can and also I have a cold.

Thursday, is "You're always in my heart" and he will get some artichoke hearts, another favorite. Yumm!

Friday is "Olive you", I'm going to find him so gourmet greek olives, probably at Sunshine Market in Orem.

Saturday, well it isn't totally decided and I girl has to have a secret or two, right?

This has been a fun week, thinking of just little things to make his day a bit brighter. I know these are huge things, but I have seen a light in his eyes when he looks at me. It is a bit brighter. I have been extremely lucky, that light has always shown bright for me. It is fun to see it brighten a bit, jsut by the little acts of service.

I love, Scott so much and am so thankful for him in my life! He definately completes me!

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
