Yucky...

I threw up for the first time today. It was awful. I always feel nauseas, but nothing ever comes up. The last week or so I’ve gotten a few feelings of ‘here it comes’, but right before it does, the feeling goes away. Yesterday, Kyle and I went up the mountain. To the top and back was a four hour, winding road. I did ok for a while, but the last half hour about did it. But again….nothing came of it. So this morning, I’m driving home from the bank and I start to feel REALLY nauseas. I have been feeling really nauseas all morning, but while driving it became REALLY! nauseas. I rolled down the window and thought it was about to come. I didn’t pull over because everytime before, nothing ever happens. So I get home and go straight to the bathroom. First its dry heaves…then comes the stuff. There was a little bit of blood in it which worries me and I’ll probably call the doctor to make sure everything is ok. It went on for thankfully only about 5 mins. It’s been about 10 mins since it finished and my throat is still burning :( All I want to do is go take a nap, but Kyle and I are going to California today and I need to clean the house. I can only handle being up and about (working, shopping, whatever) for about an hour at a time. Dishes are the worst. Sometimes I only last 30 minutes. Thankfully I have the car mostly packed already. Maybe a quick nap won’t hurt ;)

Insurance

We got approved for AHCCCS today! What a blessing! It was going to be $900 on the sliding scale, but thankfully with AHCCCS we won’t have to pay near as much!!! The Lord truly watches over us.

Birthday!

My 23^rd birthday was so great! Kyle woke me up at midnight to be the first one to tell me Happy Birthday, and then he sent me on a scavenger hunt with clues to the next spot to find a present!!
It made me so happy because I wasn’t expecting anything since we bought snorkeling gear and decided to call that our birthday gifts to each other. It made me so happy to know he put that much work into making me happy for my birthday! 
He had to leave at 6 for work, but he had the Larson kids come over and sing happy birthday to me at 9! And they brought me homemade Poppy seed bread!! Yumm!! It was the sweetest thing to hear them sing to me! When Kyle got home from work, he brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers! He took me out for dinner at Kainoas and Ice Cream at Kaboose. Then we went to the lake with Ruger and had some fun there. We ended the night cuddling up on the couch watching Lilo & Stitch! It was a wonderful birthday!!

Cravings!

I’ve gone through a ton of different cravings. It was French toast, then refried beans (they were the only thing that didn’t make me want to puke), pickles, waffles, rice and Kalua Pork from Kainoas, and strawberries! After 2 or three days of having them, I was sick of that food and it made me nauseas to think about it. Salsa is the only craving that I still have :) The spicier the better!

Talks in Church

Kyle and I gave talks in church today. After I gave everyone some background on us, I said, we will be celebrating our 1st anniversary next month and welcoming in a new member of our family in January. We got a lot of ‘congratulations’ afterwards. Right after Sacrament meeting, the whole Bishopric came up to us and said, Wow! I think it was because Kyle’s talk was so incredible and he was able to take up the last 25 minutes of Sacrament meeting. Everyone kept saying how wonderful we did and how great that meeting was. I spoke on Education and Kyle spoke on everything! Prayer, Scripture study, home/visiting teaching, scouting, tithing and more! He told so many great stories from his experiences especially with scouting. I was so proud of him! Every time anyone would complement us, I would jokingly (but seriously too) turn it into all about how wonderful Kyle did. He would do the same back to me. He is such a wonderful man and will be an amazing father. He even talked about being a father in his talk. How he is grateful for his beautiful wife and the chance to be a father.
