HORRAY!!!

My hubby just called me to tell me some big news!!!! HE got the JOB!!! He has been wanting this job for sometime now and he got it! I'm so stinkin proud of him!!! I love you baby!!! muah

It's Here.....Finally

So now that summer has come to a close, this only means ONE thing.........FALL IS HERE!!! I love me some hot weather, with ice cream, swimming and summer nights, but i must say nothing compares to the cool fresh crisp air of FALL. Especially in Utah with the mountains and watching how the leaves turn colors, its just beautiful. And better yet Fall Cleaning! I love taking the whole house apart and scrubbing down and washing everything, putting away summer decor and exchanging it for those beautiful auburn, brown, and yellow colors that instanly warm up the house. I love putting out my pumpkin cinnamon spice scentsy and having the house smell of autumn!. My parents always did fall cleaning and all of this when we were growing up, so i guess its kind of tradition, but man oh man do i get excited, even nic is excited to clean and get ready. The only downfall of fall is that it leads into winter which i completly hate. mew. Anyways im going to get started on my fall cleaning list. HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

Happy Belated :)

To this guy.......Kainoa. one of my very best friends. i love him so much!!! Happy birthday yesterday....can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend. thanks for all you do. love you lots.

The Time Has Come

It's SEPTEMBER!!!!!
This means i can start cooking pumpkin bread!!!mmmm! one of my most favorite memories that i always think of this time of year, is when i would come home from school and my mom had cinnamon and apples cooking on the stove and the whole house would be spotless and all the windows were open for the fresh cool air. And the best smell ever would be coming through the window as i walked up the driveway. She would have the pumpkin bread baking in the oven and coffee brewing. And she always plays the same tape every year around this time. it's called autum in new england , its a piano tape. i love it. and i would walk in and she would be pouring the coffee and cutting the bread for all of us to eat and drink coffee with. oh how i miss those days. I even remember the feeling i would get coming into the house to her doing this. i love her! muah mommy. and i love my pumpkin bread. :) Happy Baking!

Tamarind Springs

So my major dream for the future is to open a spa, and not just a get pampered spa, i want to create a full on wellness spa. One that teaches you about health and wellness as well as massage and day spa like things. I have been told by so many people that if i want to be amazing at massage i need to go to thailand or china, somewhere eastern, and after thinking about it for the last couple weeks, i decided thats exactly what i am going to do. I want to goto thailand!!!! This picture below is one of the many types of massage that is taught at the Tamarind Springs. Google that and check it out. After looking at this site, this is something i would love to bring to the US. I teaches you all about zen and finding yourself. It is incredible. What do you think? I would go there for probably 4-5 months and get trained. Oh if i didnt say earlier this is a spa as well as a school. So i would actually stay at the spa and be taught there. cool huh.

Awe RELIEF! For Now!

So we went and did nics EEG yesterday. That is where they monitor brainwaves while he sleeps. Everything looked perfect. From what i was watching it looks awesome. We will be getting a call in the next couple days from the dr. to see how it looks to her. We have had no more seizures since the second one so that has been good. I REALLY think that it was the amoxocillian, and i think the dr. knows that too. But i would rather be safe than sorry. We went and got him a physical after his EEG and that dr. said he was in amazing shape and he thinks the same as us about the amoxocillan. Aside from soreness and some aches and pains here and there he looks really good, and his poor little wisom teeth that he had taken out hurt him lots, i feel so bad, they kept reopening when he would seize because of how hard he was biting down and he has a nice scar on his tounge that he took off too. Oh, and they did some blood work on him so we will find anything odd. So this all makes me feel a lot better. Just wanted to update you all on that story.

GAH!!! Long Long Post

About a year and a half ago my husband had a really really bad sinus infection,so the doctor perscribed him a decongestiant(spelling) and amoxicillian. So a couple days after we went to the doctor nic had a full on gran mal seziure in bed at 2 in the morning. We rushed him to the hospital and we went for months it seems, to the neurologist for mri, ct scans, eeg, blood work, all of these tests, and then he just didnt have anymore seizures, only the one. So a year and a half later here we are healthy as a horse. Nic goes in to get his wisdom teeth taken out and after you get that done they give you lortab and amoxicillian. So a couple days ago, i wake up to my husband Screaming and not like a normal theme park scream but like the scream you do when your in extreme pain. Well he started doing this around 4 in the morning, and then started full on seizing. I dont know if any of you have ever had someone have a seizure in front of you, but for me it is totally horrifing. Especially because he is my husband, my best friend, my......everything. Anyways i call the ambulance because his whole body turned completley white and was not responding at all. The fire dept is only like 30 seconds down the street from us (praise the lord) and got there in just a couple min from when i called. His vitals were all low and he was taking to long to respond so we brought him the the er. We get setteled in nic gets oxygen and all fixed up so he is fine, just really weak and tired from everything, not to mention the nice chunk he took out of his tounge during the seizure and his poor wisdom teeth were not helping. So the ER doctor on staff that night came in, introduced himself and we went over all of nics history and then about 15 min later the doc walks in and says we did the ct scan of his head and everything looks perfect there is nothing wrong, but i have a really strong feeling that nic is allergic to amoxicillian and one of the side effects of that is seizures. WTF. seriously, i was so excited that we had a reason why this was happening to him, but horrified at the same time. So we check out and go home to rest with the comfort in knowing this will never happen again. WRONG this morning i work up at 1:45ish to my huband grunting and convulsing. i call 911 the peremedics come and swipe amonia under his nose and his eyes are open his vitals are fine, so they tell me to just let him go to sleep and just call the neurologist in the morning. ok. well all the peremedics leave and i go and sit on the bed with nic and he is going in and out of sleep, for all of you that dont know about seizures they are like having your body run a marathon then go home and work out all day. its extremely exhausting and painful. So he keeps looking at me kinda funny and is really scared to go back to sleep. Everytime this has happened nic has little or no memory of anything that happened. An hour after they left i put nic into a bath to help with his low back and he gets out after and comes up to me and the whole time since his seizure had no idea that i was his wife. no idea.
I have never been through something like this, and more than being physically draining im emotionally drained seeing him have to go through that and it makes my heart break for him. So after we looked online and, low and behold nic overdosed on his antibiotic medicne or so we think. so we have him completely off of everything he was taking. So hopefully this means that we will have no more sezires....ever. So this week we have some meetings and appt with the neurologist and hopfully everything turns out fine and my baby will never ever have to go through this again.

I should really be sleeping in my comfy bed still.
