Scary in a different way

Well as some of you know there has been some unsure things going on in our live lately. The main one started about two weeks ago when I went in for a routine physical. I had some moles that I had concerns about and the doctor ended up having some of the same concerns so he removed them for biopsy reassuring me he thought they were nothing. Seven days later I got a call from the doctors office who informed me that they had sent my samples on to Harvard and the Mayo Clinic because the doctor at McKay Dee was unsure about the results. So of coarse I am slightly worried at this point. Then a week after that, yesterday, I get a call that said that they had my results and they needed me to come into the office as soon as possible. By now panic has set in and I am in tears on the phone with my sweet husband who reassures that everything will be fine. So this morning first thing I get into the doctor only to find that it came back positive/unsure. So they cut another chunk out of my foot and now that will go for another biopsy if it comes back clean it will be over and if not blood tests and more tissue samples. For now I feel like things are going to be fine but I will keep everyone updated.

Weekend Fun



So we were lucky enough to get Nick and Brit to let us have their kids for the night while they went to a Halloween party and had some fun but they weren't the only ones that had some fun. The kids got all dressed up and we went to the dinasaur park for the annual trick or treating with the dinosaurs. They had trick or treating and fun games for the kids. We rotated inside and out to make sure everyone stayed warm. It was a fun filled night. Thanks Nick and Brit for trusting us with your fun and darling kids hopefully they can stay again soon.

Fun Family Weekend

So this last weekend we got to go watch Nic play volleyball in Price and enjoy just having time to spend with everyone. My parents came up from Las Vegas on Friday we left as soon as we got off work and headed that direction to. The first game was friday night. Nic played very well and it was alot of fun to watch. After the game we went to her house and ordered pizza and watched a movie. Can you imagine all of our family squished on two couches trying to watch a movie? It was fun anyways. The next day Kyle made us some BBQ duck that he had shot and to all of our surprize it was very good. Then we headed to Nic's game and watched her light up the game again. I love wathcing her play but it is very bad for my nerves because of coarse we think she should play all of the time no matter what! The weekend went so fast as soon as the game was over mom and dad had to head back home but Matt and I stayed to play longer, which we are really glad we did. Nic and Ky took us to this amazing restaurant, yes thats what I said, an amazing restaurant in price/hooper. Its called Groggs and I highly recommend it if your ever in the area. After we went back and visited, watched movies, and just relaxed. The next morning Ky made breakfast and then we headed for home. I learned new things this weekend and one of the many was what a great cook Ky is and the other is that you always miss the family when you have to go. So we can't wait to get back together again. Thanks for all you hospitality Nic and Ky we love you guys and can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.

Something New Hooray

--
--On a different note Matt and I have recently joined a gym and have decided there is no better time to get in shape then the present. Also the realization has come that you can't look toned if you don't work at it. Its one thing to be thin and a completely another to be in shape and look it. I am finding that out very quickly. Its fun though they have a pool, sauna, basketball, raquetball, several classes that kick butt, and of coarse tons of other stuff. And get this every treadmill has its own tv! Let me just tell you the Golds Gym in Ogden at the Solomon Center rocks. If anyone is looking for a good gym with a lot of everything for a reasonable price go try it out. So here is my encouragement to all those who usually hide indoors when the weather gets bad try the gym its not as bad as I thought it would be.

Catching up

So I am at work thinking about all the special people in Matt and I's lives. I just want to give a big shout out for all of you who are taking on the task of working AND going to school. School enough is one thing and it is completely another for anyone to also carry a job. I have met various people that have made the commitment and are going to college or have decided to return to college to get that special piece of paper that the world thinks is so important and also support their families ata the same time. So hats off to you for that this includes all of my siblings and their hubbies and especially my sweet husband that manages to work over 40 hours, go to school at night, and still have time to be a wonderful husband. So babes tonight I am up working for us, thinking of you and feeling very blessed to be in the place that we are. Thanks for all you do and I know that one day we will reach all of our goals and I can't wait for the adventure to get there.

The change of seasons!!!




I have been horrible at staying up on blogging lately. My new job has changed alot including how much time I have to play on the internet. Not much has changed. So So a quick update...my new job is going well although alot more responsibility I am learning to love it. It has been hard to still find time to work once and a while at the hospital I feel like I have no time to do what I need to do but I guess thats what happens when you go from working three days to five. I am learning alot about myself and my abilities. I miss my job at the hospital terribly so when Matt goes to school I usually go visit just to hold the babies and help where I can. Matt is halfway through his last hard semester and then he has a couple left of part time status to get both degrees completed. The self battle of when to have kids continues in the Brower home but eventually we will both come to the same conclusion and add to our special family. Matt and I took some pictures this morning of what we woke up to and the snow just keeps getting deeper is it winter already? I know most people hate this idea but I welcome it I love comfort food, warm clothes, and the spirit that is in the air the closer we get to christmas. People just seem to treat each other differently which a much needed change. I can't wait.
