An Update And A Half

Lets start with how adorable our pups are. Siera has realized that she is very much smalled than Jack and can make it so that he can't find her.....





The best dogs in the world are also getting very good at their tricks/commands.....




And they are also...very impatient...here they are waiting for Daddy who just stepped out the door to put the trash out...



But what can I say...they obviously love him....




Speaking of showing some love...I got a very nice gesture from my mother and sister (in-laws)




Well, that is it for this one...next is bowling with a friends hubby while he down here.

Bowling With The Missionaries

We have been going with the missionaries to the bowling alley for the past couple of weeks on their P-Day. I just thought that I would post some of our wacky pictures and videos. We did random bowling, which is when every frame is a different form. We did low crawl bowl, blind bowl and backwards bowling to name a few.
















We call this elder "ELDER SMASH" when we are bowling. So...in this video you can hear him actually say "Elder Smash" before he releases the ball. We call him that because of how he bowls...so we took the saying off of The Hulk and tweaked it :D





Anna is just too funny in this one, so...yeah...more embarassing clips of her !!!!!




Here are some of our low crawl bowls.




Aaron sucks at the whole camera thing, so my pictures and vids turned out badly!!! But I will put this one up.

No More Please

I just got out of the hospital, I have lost the baby. 3rd miscarriage in a row and I guess that God doesn't think that I am worthy of the blessing of a child. Right now I am not feeling like putting myself through this over and over, so I don't know if I am really going to continue trying anymore. Nobody I know has ever been through this so I really have nobody to talk to about it. Aaron has been great and taking it harder than me I think. I am depressed but used to it by now I guess. All I know is...I can't see myself going to the temple anytime soon now. I am just done with it all. I just wish that I knew what makes me such a horrible person that I am more unworthy than the women who kill their babies. I must really be worthless in Gods eyes. I am just venting I know...but I can't help but feel that way right now.

My Man

I just have to post how incredible my husband Aaron is. He has always been great, but he has just been incredible since we got the news about us expecting. Knowing how hard this pregnancy has already been (with me already being rushed into the ER and all) he has really helped share the burden. He has made me breakfast in bed, cleaned the kitchen after it was destroyed by me cooking for the missionaries and making a couple of dishes for the church potluck, he is even making dinner tonight. He is always checking on me, making sure that I am okay and comfortable, asking if there is anything he can do or get me. He has rushed off to the 24 hour shopette to pick me up some Pepto and ginger-ale.I was just telling him how much I hate that it has been so dreary and rainy that all I want to do is sleep...so he got up and put the Christmas lights up so we had some color and light. He is even going on walks with me and the dogs so I can still get out and get some exercise daily.What is really special to me is how he is really pushing for us to make it to the temple before the baby is due. I told him that I doubt we will be able to go through with that, but he really really is trying hard. He even gave his testimony on Fast Sunday, which was shocking to me and our friend Anna who has known Aaron since the singles ward in NC (so about 4 years I think).I just had to share this little bit. I hope that everyone can find themselves as wonderful of a mate as I have. I love my husband more than he could ever know.

Finally, something great to post

Though I would not usually spread the news so early, Aaron and I suck at keeping this a secret.

I am, of course, only almost 5 weeks. So, I have had to cancel my surgery that was scheduled for the 18th. Aaron and I are very excited and are hoping for the best. I am taking it as easily as possible for the safety of the baby and will continue for as long as it takes. I have been labeled as a high-risk pregnancy and will be seen by the doctor a couple of times a month, so it helps with putting my mind at ease.
Well, that is pretty much it. Just wanted ya'll to know.

2nd Anniversary

Tuesday was Aarons and my second anniversary, but our first one together. As most know, 13 days after our wedding, Aaron was shipped off to Iraq for the first 15 months of our life together. So, we still feel pretty much like newlyweds since we won't have actually been together til February of next year.

We are really tight on money right now since we are trying really really hard to save up enough money to hit Disney in March with Aaron's side and Myrtle Beach in June with my side. It isn't easy, but we still managed to get eachother a little something something.

Aaron bought us the new Shrek Christmas movie, and me.............




a gorgeous bouquet of roses. They bloomed almost immediatly after I cut them and placed them into the vase. I was a little cheaper...lol...






We then bought something that we have been wanting for a while....





isn't it gorgeous? I love finally having something to display all of Aarons Korean dragons and more.
We then went out to eat and enjoyed some sushi until I got sick and we had to leave. Overall I would rate this our best anniversary ever!!! (It is also the only spent together...lol...so of course this one is better than our first.)
Well, that is it for now...I will try to upload more here soon.

October Is Over

Well, October has come and gone. It was fun time for us down here (excluding the week Aaron was in the field of course). That week I had to go bowling with just Anna, but we still had a blast. Nothing really new to report, except that I have been scheduled for Laparoscopy Surgery for the 18th of November. It is an exploratory surgery in my abdomen to see the cause of my recent infertility. If they find something that needs fixing, they will fix it which leads to more cutting...so this should be fun.

Anyways, back to some good news, Aaron and I did go bowling again with Anna last night. We all don't have kids so trick-or-treating wasn't really on the agenda. But we had a blast (even if I didn't feel well).


And just to completely embarrass Anna (the chick in the last pic posted above)...the following video....



Of course, we all were having fun last night....





My video was very short because it doesn't take long to get a strike :D. As you can see, due to Aaron's competitive nature, he was getting a little frustrated. It didn't help that right before we went to the bowling alley I whooped his butt at the new Monopoly we bought...lol.
We also have been spending allot of time with our babies (the dogs). They love the attention they have been getting. They seem to be always smiling now.






Well, I guess that about sums up everything for now. I will try to post a little more often. Hope everyone has a great week.
