A mushy love post

 

DISCLAMER: THIS IS A GUSHY LOVE POST.

I have found a new love for my husband that I never realized existed. This past week he has been there for me more ways than one. He has been working a lot of hours with the new McDonalds open. He is one of the only ones who know how to do everything, so he has been helping train other employees. Many days he has had to be to work at 4 am, but he knew it was hard for me to get up and take him that early so he rode his bike, which I am very grateful for. He also would come home from a long day at work and help me pack and clean because he knew I had been doing it all day and that I needed a break. He also has helped me through some heartaches, and falling outs with others. I realized that my husband is my one true best friend no matter what and he would do anything for me at any time. He dries my tears, makes me smile, makes me feel like I am the best person in the world and no one can replace me, and reassures me that everything will be alright. We were able to go to the temple together yesterday which was amazing I love going to get answers and feel peace from Father above. Heavenly Father is also one of the only ones who truly loves me and understands me better than even I do sometimes and I am grateful for that. I am so grateful to have a husband who loves me unconditionally and who is always there for me even when I don’t look so hot in the morning or I have girl problems he loves me through every moment in our lives and I couldn’t ask for a better husband. I love him to pieces and want him to know that he is a great husband and loving father. Naomi loves him so much and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I am grateful for my little family and the joy and happiness they bring to me. Families are truly the greatest joy on this earth. Thanks for listening to my gubery love post  : )

Shauns medical update

So we finally have a surgery date for Shaun to get a vagal nerve stimulator put in. He will be having the procedure done on the 25th of this month, so coming up soon. We also made the decision to move in with Shaun's parents until the end of the year due to the unexpected with the surgery and the fact that we have to go down to Salt Lake about every two weeks for 3 months for checkups. Not the easiest decision to move back in with parents but we feel it was the best option for us given the circumstances... we will miss our friends and ward very much. We are also putting all of our cards on the table for housing come January when school starts back up for Shaun. We have our names on the waitlist for some apartments, but it’s just a guessing game as to when we get in so that has been supper stressful, but I know it will all work out the way it is supposed to. We are excited for this new step in Shaun's life and we are optimistic that this procedure will help the way it should. Even if it helps a little it could be enough to get his medications to start working again which will be nice. I know a lot of people are nervous because it is a surgery, but we are confident that this is the next step the lord would have us take and we are excited for the months ahead. Thank you for all your love and support!

Taking back my life!

So I have decided to take back my life and start eating clean. I don’t know how many of you have heard of The Eat-Clean Diet, but it is pretty simple. You eat clean unprocessed foods; lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. By doing this it cuts out all the processed garbage we put into our bodies and helps us get back to a healthier state. I am super excited to take my body back. With the PCOS my body weight has spun out of control and I am done! I want to look in the mirror and like what I see, as well as be able to have more energy to keep up with my daughter… If I could bottle her energy I would be a millionaire! I am so excited to start this diet and eat healthier I would love all of your encouragement and support; I have been known to be a quitter with these things, but not this time. I was reading a short inspirational book given to me for my birthday and a quote stuck out to me that hit me like a ton of bricks,  “Don't be the ONE THING standing in YOUR way!" I am constantly the one standing in my way of doing things. I constantly make excuses for myself and give up, but this time I won’t. I will achieve my goal and be proud of what I have accomplished. With that being said my husband, Shaun has been wanting to run a 5k because he misses running. He was on the cross country team in high school. Despite my belief that I am NOT a runner I promised him that I would train and run a 5 k with him. I have never really tried to be a runner alone from the mile we had to run in high school that I absolutely hated I might find that I enjoy running, so here’s to finding out. We start training today! Wish me luck.
