A few months ago when I was prego, my friend posted a picture on facebook. I immediately knew I wanted to try it because I was a bridesmaid in a wedding 2 weeks after I was due. I wanted to fit in to my dress as fast as I can. I have done 3 wraps now and I will email you my pictures if you want to see, but I'm not one to post my own. They have been so great I feel a lot better and healthier and the funny thing is when I wrap it makes me want to be healthier. I am not a water drinker and this has helped me become better at it. I reached diamond today and I'm sure none of you know what that means... It means I've reached a big level in the skinny wraps business I'm doing. It feels so great to reach a goal I never thought I would. I have helped so many people and made a little mulah while doing it. It has been a lot of work that has come very easy at the same time. I'm not here to sell you on the wraps I just need to write it all out so that I can go to sleep becau...

H.M.H. August 3rd 2012 The night before the hospital called to get my insurance information. I thought we'd be going in around noon since we had a few people infront of us, but when they called that night they informed me that I was now first in line! 6:15 the phone rang and they asked us me to eat a light breakfast and to be at the hospital by 7:30am. We got up gathered our things and stopped at Gandies on the way to the hospital.  We arrived got checked in and then came the IV I asked them to put it in my left hand because I'm right handed it made everything much easier to do.  It hurt and did stop hurting once she got it in and kept hurting until that night. Stupid IV. Then it was time to start the Pit! My doctor was in SLC at a C-section and told them to start me on a low dose because they normally start you a little higher. There Mike and I saw watching the Olympics and I was having contractions every 4 to 5 min apart. When I arrived I was dilated to a 4 and about 5...

Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving!

Image
This year my birthday was the day before Thanksgiving. Tuesday- My family went to Sammy's in Pleasant Grove. It was BOGO so it was prefect. Who doesn't want free shakes? MMM Peach Cobbler and Raspberry Cheesecake are my fav so far. Any way it was a lot of fun just eating junk with the Fam bam. And opening presents of course. Thanks everyone! /[]\'=-=== Wednesday- My Birthday~! My best friend Kristen came over and did my hair and got Peyton all ready. It was wonderful! I couldn't figure out how to curl my hair with a straightener, but she thought me! So you will probably see a lot more pics with me in curls and Mike loves it that way. We hung out and watched GTU then headed to lunch at Zupas with Emilee, Mckell and their kids. I really love the soup they have. It was so fun catching up with everyone. That night Mike came home from work and we dropped Pey off with Grandma Parry and headed to SLC! I usually go to the Harvest or Flemmings for my Birthday this year it was ...

Productivity. What's that?

tI've been thinking lately that I spend a lot of time doing a whole lot of nothing. I mean I don't sit in the corner and stare at the wall kind of nothing, but nothing that is going to benefit my life. I want be able to look back in 5 years and accomplished something other than making a really cute daughter. I have decided to re-evaluate my time. Now that Fall is here and Winter is soon on its way. I need a plan... I am worried that I might go stir crazy. My Mom keeps telling me to get a hobbies, so here's to hobbies and goals! 1. Read the Book of Mormon by Christmas. Our home teachers were over and read us the First Presidency Message for October. Precious Promises of the Book of Mormon.  I had a really strong feeling it was something I need to do. I was reassured this feeling again tonight by Elder Mathew Halls letter. I cried like a baby when I read this. I hope to one day serve a mission.       "I wanted to share a really s...

Summer 2011

I figured since it is the last day of Summer I should probably post some of the pictures we took they are mostly of Pey :) Sorry I still need to finish the Hawaii post that was our highlight of this summer. Mike and I drove to Jordan Commons with all of his work and saw Harry Potter in the IMAX. It was HUGE and awesome! Oh yes and I dressed up :) this guy from his work told Mike he'd make me a wand and he sure did! We went to Ben Folds at Salt Air with Phil. This is not our first Ben Folds concert and it won't be our last! We have a park that's pretty much in our back yard. Pey isn't quite old enough to understand it, but she sure loves dogs! I worked backstage at the Kenny Chesney and Tim Mcgraw concerts. I got to see Tim up close and personal and same with the band Perry and Pat Garrett! It was freaking awesome! Teething this summer has been so much fun... NOT! For Paydens birthday we went to wait drum roll please...... Yup you guessed it L...

Unemployed

Buongiorno! Mike here. Things have been a bit crazy and relaxed around our house for the past month. It all started back on January 20th when my employer decided to lay me off with the rest of Marketing and Sales. I have no clue how they expect to be successful without anyone selling or marketing the business but thats not my problem any more. I think everything happens for a reasons and feel that something better is on the horizon. Being without a job and health insurance scares my pantaloons off, so I dived into updating my portfolio and starting the interview process. With lots of help from different business contacts and friends I had 12 interviews in the first couple weeks. Nothing seemed to be a perfect fit and no offers. So for the last few weeks when I haven't been working on side jobs I have been able to hang out with my beautiful wife and daughter! Its been wonderful. We've been living off savings which has been tough but I'm glad that it happened. Really I'...

FEAR and PHOBIA

Image
August 25 2010 I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense... When I write when i'm emotional it doesn't come out right. Sorry All.  Fear   is an  emotional  response to a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific  stimulus , such as  pain  or the threat of danger. Phobia  is an irrational, intense and persistent  fear  of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. Today I went to the dentist for a cleaning. It was very hard for me to do especially alone, but I knew I needed to go because I have a cavity. I brush my teeth twice a day and floss as often as I can, because I a weirdo and really enjoy flossing he he he.  2 weeks ago I noticed I had a cavity I called and made and appointment. I told the receptionist I am not a normal patient. I have had a lot of trauma and I just wanted to warn you. She was very sweet and told me not to worry. I hun...

Mike's Take on Nikki Being Pregnant

Well hello all you blogger buddies. So Nikki has been writing on this blog for a long time now and I figured that it is time for me to write a little something. So here you go! So today we are going to talk about Nikki. I just have to let the world know that she really is the best wife (and soon to be mother) that anyone could ask for. She's been pregnant now for almost 32 weeks. I'll have you guys know that it has not been pleasant for her. Not in the slightest! She's constantly feeling ill while getting punched in the ribs and bladder all day long everyday. I just have to say that I think Pey Pey really is going to be a troublesome child. But still a blessing none the less. Anyway, I just wanted to post a little something on here about how amazing Nikki is and how I think that everyone all around the world should give her a high-five for being so awesome. I love her. Keep up the good work wifey.
