I miss Utah

Never in a million years did I think this would come out of my mouth, but it is true. I miss Utah.

I miss my family and dear friends.
I miss that everyone waves and smiles to you on the road.
I miss how kind and courteous everyone is.
I miss my job.
I miss my students.
I miss my house.
I miss that everyone knows the gospel.
I miss seeing my nephew and hanging out with my sister.
I miss going out to lunch with my brother.
I miss neighbors who look out for each other.
I miss low utility bills.
I miss being able to get my hair done for 50 bucks.
I miss how dry it is. Humidity sucks!
I miss my dad's yearly trips out to Utah.
I miss seeing my grandparents.
I miss being able to watch conference on your own tv.
I miss the family friendly atmosphere.
I miss temple square.
I miss the mountains.

Sigh. I guess that is all for now.

But at least you now have someone in Miami who really needs you! The Isoms. Hope you four and the three little ones have some memorable times while you both are there. Don't leave too soon!

Much love and many thanks for checking up on them occasionally,

There's a hole in my heart. Well, there's one in mine. Seriously. Anyone who has known me for the last several years knows that migraines have been the bane of my existence. Enter: new neurologist. He tells me that there is a correlation between women with migraine with aura (weird visual sensations) and a specific kind of heart defect called patent foramen ovale. He suggests a special kind of EKG called a bubble study to rule out the defect. I go have the test done and what do you know- I have this heart defect. (My mom really likes this. I keep telling her that she made me defective)Not only do I have a hole in my heart, but the doctor told me that it was SO large that it was quite likely that I would have had a stroke if I had carried a pregnancy to term. WOW! Really! I know my heavenly father loves me. How do I know this? He gives me answers. Maybe not always on my time table, but they come. Why do I suffer with these debilitating migraines? Why haven't we had a baby? B...

Blogging again!

I have decided to start blogging again. The purpose is to serve as a journal or record for my girls. My posts might be a little out of order or all over the place for a while as I attempt to get caught up. While the audience I am writing to is my two daughters, those friends and family who have read and would like to read our blog are welcome to! Share in our joy! For truly it has been the most joyful year of our lives where many prayers were answered and heartaches were healed.

This is me... on Plavix

Pretty, huh. Especially since I live in the land of perpetual summer and the accompanying bare skin. We all know that drugs have side effects. Just watch t.v. for a while, but really, do I have to have every one? Sorry, little bit of a pity party, but I just so want to feel healthy and NORMAL. Two nights ago I layed down for a nap and slept from 5 PM until the following morning at 7 AM. I have been achey, dizzy, fatigued, just overall felt nasty on this medication. Aaahhh.... Enough. I have missed a ton of work, but luckily I have such a kind, understanding boss who has worked with me through these last few months. I am taking this medication to prevent a blood clot in my heart and I have to take it for 4 more months. My doctor said he has never seen anyone really have a problem with this drug like I am having. They even tested me for swine flu. I am just trying to keep in mind the end result. A healthy heart and a healthy baby. I know dealing with this medication for the next four mon...
