Happy Anniversary!

Jeff and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on August 26th.  In some ways it seems like there is NO way it's already been 5 years and in others it feels like we've been together a lot longer than that (in GOOD ways!).  I thought I'd share a slideshow with some pics of our wedding day as well as a few over the years up to this point.

Jeff, I love you with a love I never knew I could have.  I love you more than I did the day we said "I do".  I know that between deployments, family deaths, my health issues, and the loss of our daughter, the last five years haven't gone nearly as well as we'd have liked, but we made it!  I know that God has great things in store for us and that He is just waiting for the perfect time to drown us in his blessings.  Thank you for standing by me, in good times and bad, and thank you for the years to come.  I love you, and I'd do it all over again if it meant I'd be with you.

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
