Happy 24th of July
For the 24th of July we always go to Gning Gning's house. She was so happy to have us! I love Gning Gning so much!
I was thinking about it and next year, we might not be celebrating the 24th of July! How insane is that! I keep forgetting that Pioneer day is only a Utah thing. One adjustment added to the list of many adjustments I will be making in the next little bit.
It was great, we all played Mahjong! Amber, Victoria's roommate, kicked all of our butts! She is insanely good at Mahjong and she is not even Asian. I love playing with Gning Gning because somehow all of us get a chance to win, wink wink.
Gning Gning knows I need a little extra help.
My favorite part about tonight was Gning Gning was trying to explain how people bet using Mahjong, the game. She then proceeded to tell me a funny story about when I was a little kid. "When you were little Yea Yea needed to pull your tooth because it was loose, you said 'no' he said I'll give you a dollar 'NO' ok, two dollars 'ok'" In her cute Gning Gning voice I love the way she says No and just drags it out. I love my Gning Gning so much! The funny thing is I can Still remember this story and not letting Yea Yea pull out my lose tooth unless I got $2 not just $1.
Gning Gning and I are waiting for the fireworks to start.
Happy Pioneer Day!

All for the Kiddies
For those of you who do not want TMI STOP reading now! For those of you who do not care and wish to know more about our personal life, keep on readin'
For a while there Boyd and I have been trying to start our family. After a few months of no luck we decided to get some regular check ups to make sure everything was going ok. I also noticed that I have been having severe cramps the past 8 months or so. So we started going to the doctor and asking questions. One thing that started coming up was the possibility of endometriosis. This thought kept sticking in the back of our heads so we decided to do more digging. After being poked and prodded and poked some more, we finally talked to the doctors about endometriosis. Dr. Willmore at the BYU health center said he is almost positive that is what I have. He told us about a few options and one of them was getting a laparoscopy. What a laparoscopy is are small incisions made near the belly button and one near my pelvic bone. Seemed simple enough, they go in, and if they find something they will cauterize everything that they find. (side note: I just googled endometriosis surgery and grossed myself out!) So Wednesday morning at 5 a.m. I went in for surgery. I am very thankful for my wonderful mom who took the day off to take me in. While they were prepping me, it just just my luck and the nurse that was doing my I.V. she told me she always makes people bleed. (By the way, the first time I got my blood drawn was by a nurse who was drawing blood for the first time). Anyway, I got all set up and then they wheeled me in to surgery. I had been so worried about a catheter being put in me I asked the nurse wheeling me in if I was going to get one. I was dreading her next words, but she just laughed at me and said only if I wanted one! Whew! What a relief. The only thing I remember was looking at the anesthesiologist put something in my I.V. Then I was out. I don't even remember closing my eyes. Then I remember waking up in the recovery area. I remember trying so hard to pull of the finger heart monitor. I tried and tried so hard but it wouldn't come off. It was super cold and I kept shivering and could not stop. I also remember trying to lift my head and wondering where my goofy hair net had gone, I had it when I went into surgery but now it was gone. Then I fell back asleep. Woke up cold again and my mom was there. The nurse kept asking me if I was ok and kept injecting me with pain killers like morphine and other stuff I can't remember. When she gave me too much all I remember is feeling nauseous. I honestly don't know why people do drugs. Anyway, had to go to the bathroom so my mom and the nurse took me. I was wearing really weird underwear! I also felt like a 2 year old because my mom had to help me. Good thing she loves me. Anyway, enough of that stuff.
What they did find: When I came out of surgery, Dr. Glenn told my mom that they did find endyometriosis and it was a lot more than he was expecting. Luckily they were able to get rid of all of it but had to make a third incision to do so. I'm just glad I'm not some crazy person having cramps all the time and that there was an actual reason why I was having cramps.
To make a long story short I made it home and fell asleep. Then Megan did my hair and we went off to her bridal shower. Got sick there, fell asleep in the bathtub and went home and slept. Been sleeping since then and feeling sore.
To sum it all up, I hope that we will be able to have kids soon. The doctors say that we have about 6 months before it comes back. One day, when our kids are naughty, I'm going to show them this blog and the picture from my surgery so they know what I went through to have them. haha.
These are my tiny stitches.

Oh Provo
This weekend I was supposed to finish my independent study class. Somehow that never gets done. Katie and Cody came over and were taking Megan to float the Provo River. Somehow I got sucked into going. But it was totally worth it! It started out as nice and relaxing and then. . . dun dun dun, just kidding. It was rather uneventful. Except for the part when Melanie almost got sucked under the raft and drowned! We were just moseying along and were supposed to get out of the river when we got to the bridge. Apparently 3 people have had to go to the hospital this year because they hit this bridge. Well, sometimes it is hard to steer and we ended up going straight at it. We hit is with a big thud then suddenly Melanie was gone! She was in the front and somehow got knocked off! We were all so worried that she was going to get sucked under the raft but she was ok. Besides that and the freezing cold water it was a ton of fun! My favorite part about today was when Katie asked us if one of us had lost their flip flop. She then proceeded to grab a flip flop that had been floating around, only to realize when she turned it around that it was all moldy on the other side! I was half expecting a rotting foot to be attached to that thing it was so disgusting! As soon as we all realized what it was and what it looked like we all went "EWW" and Katie dropped that thing so fast! I'm super glad I was a slacker and went with Katie, Cody, Melanie, and Megan to go and float the Provo River.
Moving
Yup, that is right, we are moving. This is Boyd and my first major move of our marriage. Boyd left on Tuesday and will be gone for 7 weeks! ahh! He is moving out with Shaun and Nicolette. Oh yeah, we are moving to Cleveland Ohio, where Boyd will be going to school. All of last week we spend every free minute trying to pack up our little apartment. Who knew such a small place could hold so much stuff! The worst part was Sunday night when we were trying to pack the kitchen! What a nightmare. At 1:30 Boyd and I decided that it was ok to just start throwing things in boxes. To make matters worse, we thought our move out day was today, July 3rd, but I got a call on Wednesday saying that the inspector was at our apartment and for some reason all of our stuff was still there! Of course it was, our move out date wasn't until today, but apparently it was the night of the 29th. Luckily my wonderful parents came down and helped me clean out our entire apartment, along with the wonderful relief society! I'm so very grateful for all of them and their willingness to help us!
This is Boyd loading up our 26 ft truck! That thing was HUGE! My favorite quote from Nicolette is "It has 6 wheels!"
Ever wonder what a packed up crazy messy wymount apartment looks like.
I'm really excited to be moving on with our lives, but at the same time I'm so sad. I have loved living in Wymount, our first little home. Thanks for all the good times Wymount.
