It's been way too long since I've been on here. I have been through so many events that it's been wonderful to say that my life is not boring. We'll some moments/ days can be, but overall, I have been blessed with unnatural circumstances in my book, a niece who keeps me laughing, a friend who keeps my hopes up, tiny trips to allow me to get away and yet return in time to go to work the next day, and brothers who encourage me to spend the night with them playing video games because at least we are spending time from 10pm to 2 am playing a game we all like.
I've given much thought over the last couple of days and have even talked to my cousin. Many do not know, but it doesn't matter now because it's over with. I had a colonoscopy (surgery for the colon/butt for those of you who don't know what that is) and well, it sucked! I won't lie. The surgery was great, but prepping for it was brutal and I will never, NEVER to it again. Not even when i'm 50/60/70, or the inbetween numbers. Brain surgery was nothing compared to what I had to go through for this. No wonder I had to have brain surgery! I was being prepared for something worse and boy, I know what that was now! However, I'm deeply afraid of what is instored for me next. If I had the choice to have brain surgrey or butt surgery again... I think I would have the prep for brain and the recovery of the butt. One from each end! It is best to avoid it, yes, but if you can't see if you can get the option of skipping the prep for the colonoscopy! It's a killer for your body! I'd share more, but it wasn't a pretty sight! :D
Before that, however, I did get to spend the majority of my month of May with my niece who is now saying "Where's Natalie?" I also got to play with Abby Garrett. It was a blast to have the two play together especially in the kiddie pool. I got videos of the two playing 'ring around the rosie' and showing the motions to a primary song and another song. I just don't know how to make a video work on here though. BUMMER. I'll see if Jen or Matt can put them on. I don't want to deprive you of pictures so here are the ones from my last trip to the Gila Valley Temple open house. Also, a picture of our family garden and some of Caely and I during my last school projects when I got to go to a school to work with 2nd graders!
see ya'll when June is done! I'll have many more pictures for that! Logan is leaving for his mission and Jaron is moving out! My parents will most likely move to the basement, which means crud, I can't sneak out and about! Just kidding! Adventures to come!
