What a way to start a marriage!

I've not been feeling well for quite some time and I just thought I wasn't getting enough sleep. Then I started getting nausea whenever I ate. Then I'd start throwing up out of the blue. Then I started getting really weird pains in the right side of my stomach. (Chill out, I'm not pregnant, this started before we got married. On Sunday the 15th I was at work and told Shawn I couldn't take it anymore and to meet me at the ER when my shift ended at noon. When he showed up he was so worried he looked like he was going to pass out. He's pretty cute. Anyway, after 8 and a half hours in the ER, lots of pain meds, a very sweet blessing, uncontrollable pain, and an ultrasound later I was admitted to the hospital with gall bladder disease to be removed the very next day. Coolest part about being admitted to the hospital was being admitted to the floor I work on so all my coworkers took care of me. (that did have its downside too, i'll explain later). The first night there I actually didn't know the people who were taking care of me and the nurse I got was a little scary. She taped my iv to my hand so that it kinked so whenever I got pain or nausea meds I had to squeeze it to make it work. Kind of hurt too. Meh. Anyway after a night of routine 2 hour sleep interruptions (which I didn't mind cuz i'm an awesome sleeper) I awoke to find none other than Brittany standing over me! I was so excited, she is a good friend from work and one of the best PCT's you will ever find. She took my vitals and we talked for a bit, then she told me that Janet was my nurse. I was so happy I love Janet to pieces. I got one of the best teams on the floor! Anyway the morning was pretty uneventful. Took a shower and got some nausea meds and fell asleep waiting for my appointment at 2:00. At 11:00 a surgical tech, orderly, whatever he was had arrived in a hurry to get me to take me to surgery. I was not too excited I always get so nervous especially when the rush to get you because the doctor happens to have an earlier opening. Well, I was whisked away to holding where I awaited my doom (Haha I had to make it dramatic somehow) where they administered a last minute pregnancy test, negative, and one of the wonderful nurses down there fixed my IV. Where it became the magical IV of wonder. It worked very well and didn't hurt at all. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the PACU and being taken back to my room. It was all pretty easy for me. I slept alot. The Fuji's (Andrew and Andrea) came to visit me! They brought me balloons (one of which said "some people will do anything for attention" HA!) and a cute little red hippo which shall be known as hip hop anonymous or the hip hop hippo. Anyway on to the worst part of having your coworkers look after you....12 hours after my surgery I was still unable to pee. It was getting pretty painful. So I had no choice but to be straight cath'd (they insert the tubey thingy and drain your bladder, they take it out voila you're done). However allowing your coworkers to perform this sort of act on you is not the choicest of activities. no..not happiness. However it worked like a charm and I was able to go to the bathroom all by my big girl self from then on out. One of the night PCT's said that the only two times in your life you will get excited about peeing is potty training and after surgery haha. anyway I was released the following evening. I've been healing really well and feel absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!! mostly. I'd say 85% better. but I actually feel better than I did before my surgery. So yeah. Great way to get your marriage started 2 months and ten days into it wouldn't you say? My poor husband...........

Oh my gosh! Its a post!! *pause for heartattack*

Yes I am actually posting. You shush. Anyway Shawn and I are finally MARRIED!!! Being married is awesome. I highly recommend it.

We have been in our own place for almost a month now. I love it! Its a two bedroom with a teeny kitchen (which I just so happen to love) and we even have a dining room. As soon as we are completely put together I will post pictures. I don't think either one of us has eaten as much jell-o in our lifetimes as we have in the last month since we moved into our apartment. The sad part is I even experiment with jell-o recipes!

Being a newly married couple is not very condusive to gas prices these days so Shawn and I bought a scooter two days ago! Which suprisingly is giving us a little extra money in the nest egg.

Since I'm not home posting this I have no visuals to give you (I know, I know, you'll be okay....yes fuji mingle I'm talking to you).

I'll post some a little later when I actually get some :P now let's see if I can actually keep up this blogging thing yeah?

Disneyland!!! Here we come!!!!

Okay so this next week Karey, her family and i are all going to Disneyland for the whole week. Everyone is so excited and karey in particular is the most exited. i suppose it's because i am going with her. we will wright more about it when we get back.

Valentine's Day!

Yesterday was Shawn and I's first Valentine's day together which I was pretty sure we wouldn't even get to see eachother for since he's at school down at snow. So since I didn't think I would see him I hung out in my pajamas at work and didn't take a change of clothes. Then I took it upon myself to exercise my buns off at 2:30 and sweat like i've never sweat before. I figured it was no big deal since I could just shower when I got home and I wouldn't have to worry about being social. But to my suprise at 4:30 the door bell rings and my love is standing on the doorstep with really pretty white and red wooden roses and I smell like I just went swimming in the dumpster. I was so embarrassed!!!! But true to his nature he knew I smelled bad but really couldn't care less because he knew I would shower after work and he was just happy to be with me. I love that he takes time to rearrange his schedule so that he can come and suprise me. Especially on Valentine's Day (its my favorite holiday!!) So after I destinkified we had dinner with my parents and he had some fun playing his Vday present. Then to celebrate he took me to play mini golf (which was suprisingly empty considering we figured it would be packed) We had a great time sassing eachother with competition. We went home and had some cookies and milk and a little bit more game time and quality time. Then off he went home so he could come to work with me today. And all because he came home yesterday I get to have a five day weekend with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO DEE WHOO!!!!

6 months!!!

February 12th marked Shawn and I's 6 month anniversary! Its so hard to believe its already been that long when it feels like just yesterday we were agreeing to date eachother. I think I am probably the luckiest person alive. My whole life i've had really awful relationships, so I never really thought I would find someone who is so perfect for me in every way. I've never been so happy or felt so safe with someone. I love Shawn with all my heart and I hope that the next five months goes as quickly as the first six!

okay! okay! I'll blog! I'll blog!!

Apparently I don't post enough! So here are some engagement pictures that the fuji mingle took for us!
