Birthday, and a fun night in the ER

So..... Chris made my birthday really special yesterday. He gave me a big bag full of thoughtful presents in the morning, took me out to lunch, and had a mini birthday party with his family and some friends at his mom's house later that night. Chris has been having some medical issues lately. He has fresh and dark, almost black blood in his stool and urine and yesterday had the worst gut ache he has ever had in his life. He threw up and there was blood in it. We decided with all of his medical issues unattended, we should probably go to the ER. The VA hospital claims they are the best in care. That is so untrue. We had to take a number. We got in at 9:30, and were not seen until 1:45 a.m. There were 10 people in front of us, and about 4 after us. By the time we got seen, we were the only ones left. The people that came after us were seen before us. We got in the room, and waited another while to be seen. Chris was poked and prodded just about everywhere you could think of, and then had a tube placed down his throat and had his stomach pumped all while he was throwing up because of his gag reflex. Fun. Pretty much had exactly what Caden had done. He had an IV placed in him. All of this, and nothing. No bad results. Next on the list of testing.... Colonoscopy and endoscopy. That will hopefully happen soon so we can start to know what is going on with him. It was definitely a birthday we will never forget :)

Starting Our New Lives Thus Far

So, this is what has happened with us so far starting with our wedding day. Chris and I left to go to our hotel to check in. It was the Anniversary Inn. We had trouble finding it, than finally got there. We thought we could check in earlier, but they told us it would not be until 5 and we got there at 2. In our wedding clothes, we decided to go get something to eat. We went to Tucci's across from Trolley Square. It was alright. We took our time, and our waiter was horrible and came maybe twice to help us. We were done for 15 minutes before we even got our check. We needed to kill some time before five, so we decided to drive up Emigration Canyon. It was really pretty. We looked at some houses and just talked. It was a really good time. Our room at Anniversary was the Phantom Of The Opera. It was really cool. There were rose petals everywhere. The next day, we decided to drive around and relax. Chris forgot real shoes, and had to wear his tux shoes around. It was pretty funny. We enjoyed each other's company all weekend. For New Year's, we ended up taking a nap, and woke up at 10:30 and went to his Mom's house for Bingo, games and fireworks. We ended up watching the dogs play. At midnight, we all went outside for fireworks. We just took a really long trip up to Boise to one of Chris's military friend's weddings. It was interesting needless to say. There were definitely a variety of strange people there. Our favorite was a devil worshipping outfitted girl. Interesting..... We are really excited for all the things coming up and just being together. We make a great team. We have been currently looking for houses. We found something that will fit our needs perfectly. They are new townhomes being built right by Legacy just off Redwood Road in Woods Cross. We are still looking and weighing out our options, but we both think that this might be the best one. So far things have been truly wonderful. We are both interested in the same exact things. We enjoy our hobbies together, school coming up, cooking together, cleaning together, etc..... I am excited to see what the future holds for us! The video below is taken by Chris's sister and little brother. Chris decided to get them with our firework.

Welcome To Our Crazy World!

So, Chris and I have decided to start a blog, so everyone knows what we are up to. That is the only way I know what Kalina and Steve, and Buddy and Tiffany are up to.

We are just getting wrapping up the final plans on getting married. We are so excited, and the day can't come soon enough. I just got a dress yesterday at Allyse's Bridal for $100! It worked out perfectly! Everything was on sale and in my size yesterday! That never happens. I got my jewelry on sale, my dress, and my shoes for only $15! It went down without a hitch. Everything is going great in that arena

So, Chris is just going to school and getting his Master's in Urban Planning, and is planning on getting his Real Estate's license this summer. I am just working at NPS still. We moved from the main building to the old industrial building out by the airport on Wright Brothers Drive. It's awesome! I love it! I literally went back to clothing and shoes full force. That is all I do now.

We are really excited to start our new lives together!
