35

Yep, that's right I am now 35 years old. How did I get this old? I had a great birthday. The kids were really cute and all wanted to make me something. Taiylor gave me a coupon book.

*make my bed
*do laundry
*one day of cleaning house
*putting away my laundry
*make my bed

I am super excited about the coupon book. Taiylor also made me a picture frame with a picture in it. Emma wanted to do something similar so she made me a little book about things she likes about me.

*Your very understanding
*I love to hang out with you
*I'm your little sweetheart
*I love how you dress
*Your kind

What sweet girls. Trenton wrote me a nice note on my blog. I am very blessed to have such amazing children.

Jared and I went to lunch at Brewsky's and did a few errands in town. Since I quit working I have been able to go with him a few different times and run errands. It has been kind of fun. We visit and just enjoy each others company.

My dear friend, Emilee Mclinn, and I went to the Boise mall on Saturday and did some shopping, KIDLESS. It was such a treat to be able to just relax and shop without any interruptions. She treated me to getting my nails done. It was so fun. Then Jared and Ryan met up with us later and we went to dinner and a movie. All in all it was a great birthday.

Oh, I almost forgot. Jared made me a very special gift this year. He made me a slide show of pictures of me throughout the years and put a song to it (One friend by Dan Seals) Our computer is messed up right now so he couldn't finish it but I was so touched by it. It brought tears to my eyes. I truly love my life, especially with my one true friend, Jared. We have been through a lot of things in the almost 12 years we have been married. I wouldn't want to go through any of it without him.

Quitting my job

Well, I finally did it...I quit my job. I have worked for Jay Wettstein along time. I started when Taiylor was 6 months old. Jared was trying to go to school and we really needed the money. We lived in the little trailer right next to the house we are living in now. I was so scared to leave Taiylor with a babysitter, but I found someone good. I couldn't find a job in my field (Criminology) but LuJean worked for Dr Dahle (in same office as Dr Wettstein)and she said they were looking for someone to do the front desk so I applied at got the job. I worked full time until a few months before I delivered Trenton. So, about 2 years. Then I decided I needed a break so I quit. Shortly after Trenton was born we moved to Georgia where Jared was a Superintendent for a commercial construction company. He remodeled an LDS church in Thomasville, Georgia. We were there for just about a year and decided to move back to the farm.

Surgery and blurred vision

I had a procedure called Novasure on December 30th. I had been having my cycle every 2 weeks for about 6 months. My Dr, Dr Julie Hughes kept attributing it to stress, but I was feeling like I wasn't that stressed with my life just the normal everyday stresses of having a family of 6. So, I finally went to see her and she first decided to do an endometrial biopsy to rule out any kind of cancer. Talk about hurting and uncomfortable. I waited a week and the results were negative which made me feel a lot better. She scheduled me for surgery December 30 at 1:15. The whole procedure only lasts for about 20 minutes in which the Dr burns the lining of your uterus. Hopefully this will prevent me from having a menstrual cycle again or atleast just a very light one. I have never had surgery before besides having my wisdom teeth out years ago so I was a little bit nervous. Luckily, my great husband took the day off to take me over to the Idaho Surgery Center in Caldwell. I love my doctor. She seems to know just what I need. I have been meaning to give her a picture of Cael and her that was taken right after he was born. It's only taken me a year and a half to get it to her.

They gave me a scopolamean(spell?)nausea patch that goes behind your ear and then gave me some verced in my iv to relax me. It took about 5 seconds to relax me and that is all I remember. The next thing I know I was in my recovery room very sleepy. Jared took me home and I was pretty crampy and in quite a bit of pain. He was great. He pampered me and did all he could to take care of me. On Saturday late afternoon I started having pretty bad blurred vision and it just kept getting worse. By Sunday I had severe blurred vision and was dizzy. I guess the side effects of the patch are blurred vision if it somehow gets in your eyes. I must have rubbed my head or something and got the patch on my pillow while I was sleeping. So for about 10 days I couldn't drive, text, write, etc. It was not much fun. Now I just have to wait to see if the surgery works.
