Birthday Celebration

December 4th I celebrated my 22nd birthday. It was a great day. I started the day with breakfast in bed from my wonderful husband, and then we went to go and get our first Christmas tree together as a married couple. It was a lot of fun picking the tree out, I was like a little kid I was so excited when I found “Our Tree.” After wards we went ice skating with Joel and Bryn Smith and we had blast. We ended the night with dinner at Applebee’s. I was crazing there spinach dip which was delicious. It was a great birthday and Jesse got me everything I wanted.

Thanksgiving Fun!!

For Thanksgiving this year we spent it with Jesse’s family! We were only able to spend two and half days with them because Jesse had to work but the time we spent was a lot of fun. We got to meet the newest member of our family, Kylee! We tried to go four wheeling but when the gas pedal breaks off that puts a damper on things. (Nice Job Richard..haha..We know it wasn’t your fault) So instead we played Rockband as the “Owen Family Band,” ate lots of food and went bowling! It was a lot of fun, wish we could have stayed longer but bills need to be paid so back to work we went!Kylee McKenzie Owen The Family Bowling Mommy and Kylee Amanda and Katelynn, she was a pro bowler just like me!! Sarah, Katelynn and Brylee Mom and Jesse

"The Boys" bowling! Jesse was a punk and hid his face.

Rocking out to Rock Band!

The Verdict is in…

For the past several months I have had extreme amounts of pain when it was that time of month. The pain would be so bad that they only thing I could do for the first few days of my period was sit in bed and wait for the pain to pass. I went to two different doctors explaining my pain and each one of them just put me on a form of birth control which ended up making me sick. Finally a friend of my moms who has had the same issue recommended Dr. Martin. My first visit with him I told him my history and instead of saying let’s fix it with birth control he said birth control hasn’t worked we should take the next step. The next steps were either having a Laparoscopy done, having a series of shots that send your body into metaphase for six months, or get pregnant. Since I am egger to finish school first I ruled out getting pregnant and it also doesn’t give me an answer to the problem, and the shot scared me and still kind does. (Plus I don’t think Jesse can handle me going through metaphase thirty years to early!) So I went with Laparoscopy. The surgery went well and today I went back for my post appointment and I have endometriosis. The lovely scar tissue that is formed because of it was all over my bladder and my left ovary. Dr. Martin removed all the scar tissue and now we get to play the waiting game. I get to see how I feel over the period of a few months to see if it worked or if I am still in pain it means that there might still be some left it was just too small for Dr. Martins eyes. If that is the case the next step would be doing the shots but I am not sure if I want to do that. We just might have to get pregnant since I know what is causing all the pain. But thank you Dr. Martin for helping figure out what was causing all that lovely pain. :)

Sick as a Dog!!!

Last week I was scheduled to have a Diagnostic Laparoscopy. Tuesday morning I woke up not feeling the greatest, but didn't think much of it. Wednesday morning Jesse and I got up really early and headed for the hostipal to get this surgery over with. They called me back had me get dressed and I was laying in the bed about to get the I.V. when the Anesthesiologist came in and listened to my chest and said I had too much congestion to do the procedure - and sent me home. I didn't think it was that bad until Thursday when I woke up feeling like I had been run over by a truck. I had the flu! And I ended up spending the next four days in bed, Jesse joining me on Friday! (He didn't want me to be sick alone so he decided to get the flu too) Today is Wednesday, and I a finally feeling up to doing things. One week later! The best part is I go back to the hostipal on Friday to have the surgery, so just when I am feeling better I get to be knocked back down again. Ya I am so excited.

*** Note: A laparoscopy is an out patient surgery and it just being done to figure out whats wrong with me, :) and I should only be down for a few days. No big deal.

UNLV Homecoming (This if for Kellie)

This week is homecoming at UNLV. I am not big into school spirit here because my goal is to graduate as quick I can and move on. But on Monday one of the ladies in my class came into class with the homecoming teacher and as soon as I saw it I had to have it. Just in case you don't know I am a HUGE Disney fan and this year our theme is "its' Magic" and they used the Disney font. So now I have a cute Disney UNLV t-shirt. It made my week, especially since I have spent most of the day in a classroom. :) The shirt doesn't have the little man on it, it just has the words. But I still love it!

School.. School... School

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in awhile but I have been spending my days at good old UNLV. This semster I am taking my classes a little different than usual. I am taking 18 credits or in other words 6 classes. It is alot but it isn't too bad, because each one of my classes I do in a week. So I spend Monday through Friday in the same room at UNLV from 8 am to 4 pm. Then on Wednesday I take my mid term and on Friday I take a final and I am DONE!!! I have taken 2of my 6 classes and they have been great. But last time I had two weeks off before my next class but I just finshed up last one and start back up again on Monday. YA! I am a little tired and feel like I get nothing done during the week because I am in class all day then clued to the computer the rest of the day doing homework. Jesse has been really sweet these past weeks. He has helped me edit papers late at night and again early in the mornings. Sleep is something I just caught up on during the weekends. But the nice thing is I am getting close to graduation just not close enough. :)

Jesse's Alaska Trip!!!

A few weeks ago Jesse had the opportunity to go to Alaska with his company for a week. He had a lot of fun and best part he got to do what really enjoyed flying and taking amazing pictures. He also got to relax a little bit which was much needed. I only posted a few of the pictures he took. I think he is pretty talented with the camera. :)

The Alaska Cruise. (Something I want to do some day.)

Glaciers!!

They went Kayaking around the glaciers. He said it was really cold that day! :)

I love the reflection in this picture!

He also spent a day fishing and he caught this fish that was to "big" for them so he had to throw it back but it weighed about 80 pounds.

Jesse and his boss Luke showing off what they caught. He brought home quite a bit of fish home and we actually ate it, and it was good. (we aren't seafood fans!)

CRAZY DAY

Today was one crazy day. It started out with me spending 8 hours in class. ( I am trying to do three credits in one week) Then Jesse came to pick me up from class so I could take him to the airport because he is off to work once again. Bet your thinking this isn't crazy at all. Well it gets better. While me and Jesse are at the Pinball Museum (which is really cool and its free, you should go if you get a chance) I have a good friend of mine from Cedar vi sting who is pregnant. Well she calls and is a little panicked and asks where the nearest hospital is and how far am I from the house. Well her husband was on the way home so he was going to beat me but anyways her water broke and she was going into labor. (three weeks early) So between some other good friends of ours and her husband we get her to the hospital. Well since they are from Cedar City the hospital gave them just a hard time with getting her medical records and checked in. With that taking maybe 45 min. She was already dilated and ready to go. So from the time her water broke to the time she had that baby is was only two hours or so. And because the doctors were being so slow with her information she gave birth with out and DRUGS... She is one strong women in my eyes. I sat with her for just a little while and I don't think I could have done that. I am excited to say that she had a healthy little boy that weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces and is cute as a button. But I'm ready for bed because I have a midterm tomorrow and another 8 hours class to sit through. Night!

Funny

I was messing around and found this website off of a friend of mines blog and thought it was pretty funny. And since Jesse is gone for a week I thought he would be a good candidate for this. Some day he might just win the gold. Have fun
