Everything Happens for a Reason!

This past month has been a really trying month for me. For everyone that knows me they know I cry over everything. And I have done a lot of this this last month. It all started on August 22. The day I got sick. I went from having such a great life and having lunch with some of my best friends and the shopping with Josi to doubled over in pain all within hours. I was so scared cause I had never felt like this before. So after dealing with it for as long as I could my mom decided to have me go to the doctor. So my roomate, her mom , and sister took me to the instacare where I was for a few hours til they told me I had to get to the hospital. So Chantel and her family rushed me over to the hospital. We were all so worried this whole time cause we had no idea what was going on. The doctors were all thinking I had appendicitis but wouldn't know til after we did tests. After spending about 5 hours in the E.R. and doing many tests they still couldn't rule out appendicitis. They couldn't see my appendix because of fluid that was covering my appendix. But they knew something was wrong because my white blood cell count was way high compared to a normal count. The only thing we knew for sure was that part of my pain was from a baseball size cyst on my ovary. So the E.R. doctor referred us to a surgeon to do what they called an explatory surgery. The surgeon decided along with us that it would be best to go in and find out what that fluid was. So it was decided I would be having surgery that night. The surgeon still had another surgery before mine so I had another 2 hours to sit and wait and wonder. During that time I had some amazing nurses that took care of me. Especially Sam. She worked with my mom for a few years at the elementary school so it was way nice to see a familar face helping me and she treated me so good. I got lots of texts and phone calls wishing me luck and making sure I was okay. And I had an amazing blessing given to me by Chad (Jordans brother in law) and my dad. I am so grateful they were both worthy to give me one. And I was so glad I got to see Chad Laura and Parker before surgery. It felt like Jordans way of being there since he couldn't be because of work. I am so glad that his family cares so much:) But anyway I went into surgery at 930 that night and was in my room recovering by 1130. I was up and walking around by 1230 and finally got to eat and drink something after not being able to all day. I have the best roomates who brought me stuff to the hospital so my parents didnt have to leave and came to visit for a little while. Thanks Amber and Chantel you guys are the best!!! I also got a visit from Brittney! I was so excited when she told me she was working there that day and could take a break to come see me. It made my day. I felt so good while I was at the hospital and thought that everyone telling me how sore I was going to be wasn't gonna happen to me but boy was I wrong. The day after I got home I was so sore I didn't want to move and it was impossible to sleep. But when I was able to fall asleep I slept forever. I was super bummed this all happened because this was fair week. The one week I look forward to all summer long. So I was determined to go to the fair and that I did. I spent the whole week in a wheel chair but I was able to go! Everyday I was super sore when I got home but it was all worth it. I got to watch all of the stock shows, got to the rodeo, do some shopping, and eat some great fair food! Thanks everyone who pushed me around. But during all this I missed Jordan so much and wished he could be there to help make me feel better when I was feeling super down. But it never worked out so he could come. I thought that was bad but things there just got worse. Me and Jordan decided we were going to take a break. But we are still gonna stay friends and when he gets home from his mission try it all over again:) This couldnt have come at a worse time. Just when I was starting feeling better again I made myself sick again. It has been super rough on me. But I have had a lot of friends, family his and mine, and roomates be there for me. And now being off of the stupid medication that was making me sick and having everyone be there for me during this all I can say I feel better. Over the month when I went through all this I kept asking myself "WHY? Why is all this happening to me right now. I can't handle it." And on of my friends sent me this quote by Marilyn Monroe "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." and now everytime I wonder why I always think this quote. I truly believe everything happens for a reason.... we may not know the reason now but eventually it will all make sense why this has all happened to me. Also another quote that has really helped me that I wanted to post so I will always remember it when I go back and read my blog since I am using it as a journal. This quote has really helped me and I really believe its true "If god brings you to it, he will bring you through it." Hopefully I will have much happier things to talk about in my next post now.

I really do suck at this Blogging thing!

I love reading other peoples blogs but when it comes to keeping my own updated I have a hard time. So much has happened since the last time I did though! I have been working lots and playing some. But have not taken any pictures of most of it. I had some roommates that were a little more on the odd side this summer but luckily made it through the summer without having major confrontations only a few. I got to go camping with my family on the 4th of July and got to bring Jordan along with me. I love seeing how well he gets along with my family and spend time with them. My dad, Jordan and I and some of my dads friends went and played in an all night softball tournament.... Which we got our butts kicked in. But we sure had the most fun sober. I was really not looking forward to fair this summer because I was going to have to work the whole time but I didnt! Which in a way wasn't a good thing but i enjoyed being able to go and soak in my favorite week of summer. I was able to go because I had emergency surgery the Monday before. Thats a whole store in itself. So i did have to spent the fair in a wheel chair but I did enjoy just sitting and watching all the show and rodeo. So much is going on in my life it is crazy. Somedays I just want to give up but I keep pushing forward. I can't wait to see where my life takes me and to start school again soon!! I hope that I can start keeping up on this blog better and have something more interesting to talk about soon.

So Much Has Happened.....

Wow I am terrible at blogging. So much has happened in the last month and half. For starters I have moved 2 which I did all in a week and half time period! Way to much moving for me. I moved home for a week and then back to Logan to my new apartment since my contracts didn't over lap right. I like my new apartment but I sure do miss my old roomates. Mainly Chantel,. We grew so close over the last year. That girl knows everything about me and I am the same with her. I am so glad I got the chance to live with her and get to again this fall. I have a countdown til she moves in and I sure can't wait!!! I have been doing some babysitting every once in a while when I have time. I love getting to play with Way and cuddle with him the few days he will let me. It is crazy how much he has grown up. I swear it was just the other day that I was sitting at work waiting for the text to say he was here. And now he is running around everywhere getting into everything. I have also spent a lot of time working. Some weeks I swear thats all I do. But thats good it will help me make my payments on my new car:) I bought my very first car on June 1! I was so excited to buy a new car. I got a pontiac G6 and I love it!! And the best part of the last few months is I have got to spend some time with my favorite boy. I look forward to every weekend that I get to see him. I am the happiest and luckiest girl alive to have him! So there is a quick update for whats been happening these last few months and I will try and be better at keeping this updated from now on.

Happy Birthday!!

This weekend was a great one and very eventful. I got the weekend off and got to go see Jordan for his Birthday. Not only was it my favorite boys birthday on the 25 but it was also my little sisters birthday and Easter the 24. I wasn't going to be around for my sisters birthday so I stopped by and gave her her present. And then I was on my way to Ephraim. A year and half ago I never would have imagined I would ever be so excited to go to Ephraim and visit, but I always look forward to it! I got to have lunch with my old roomates, ride around in the golf cart while Jordan golfed (what a good girlfriend I am huh), went on dates to the movies, went bowling, and got to spend the whole weekend doing this with my favorite boy:) Happy Birthday yesterday Makel, and Happy Birthday today Jordan! I love you both!

My not so little cousin.

This past weekend my younger cousin Tricia got married. I can't believe she is really old enough to be married. I know, she is not much younger than I am but it sure seems like just yesterday we were both little playing down stairs at grandmas (in the closet that now is to small for all the grandchildren) jumping on the tramp, or just playing house. I can't believe we are both grown up now she was such a gorgeous bride. I didn't get a picture of her and her hubby but we got one of all the cousins who went to the temple.

Congrats Tricia and Dallin!!!

O and just because I don't want to make a whole new post for this and most people wouldn't want to read it so I will just make it short and sweet. Jordan and I have been dating for 1 year!! :)

How time flies!!

I am amazed today how time flies! It has been one year ago today since I went on thee BEST date, with thee BEST guy, who is now my BEST friend. I really can't believe it has been a full year. It has really been the best year of my life. That day was the start of me falling in love with a few different things..... Jordan and rock climbing. I love to go climbing with Jordan now. Which really surprised me. Anyone who knows me knows I am deathly afraid of heights. But I have never been scared of the heights except one time. But it really has been a great year! We have had so many great times together and I look forward to the many more to come. This is my favorite picture of us and it happens to be from our first date and our first picture together:) I <3 Jordan!!

Well...

I give up on the 30 day challenge. I know I didn't last very long. But I either don't the time time or ambition to do it everyday. So I am just going to post when I can or I have something to really talk about....and today I do. Today I got to go to the State FFA Convention to support on of my good friends from high school He was running for state officer and sadly he did not win but he did good and still is amazing in my book:) And he got to take this amazing picture with two pretty girls so in my opinion he was the luckiest boy today;)

<3 ya Rell Thanks for being such a great friend!! And you too Josi!!
