January-Nothing major except one of the soaps I watched my whole life went off the air :(
February-I helped throw a friend a baby shower. It was soooo much fun.
March-Rob and I were both sick with in a week of each other. I had jury duty and we both turned a year older.
April-We had an amazing Easter ( which I already wrote about) . The 11th mom had both knees replaced. It was a very scary time for me and eye opening as to how hard it is to take care of Lisa and everything else. I was released from doing the bulletin at Church and put in Young Women's. I am sooo thrilled to work with the young women it is a calling I have prayed many years for.
May- brought many baby showers and dinners with friends. 24th of May I had gastric Sleeve surgery forever changing my way of eating in hopes of one day being a mom.
June-one of the quietest months of the year. I think that was simply because I was trying to figure out what to eat and when and how much then I had to figure out when I could drink and what and how much. June also brought the death of my best friends mother who I loved like one of the family. While I was happy that she no longer had to suffer with her lung cancer her passing brought a great sense of loss to me.
July- Roberts great uncle Al passed away. We attempted to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary but didn't quite succeed because mom was quite sick and needed us to come back home and care for her. We also had more showers and birthday parties to go to.
August- We had planned on being in Utah to watch Robs nephew get baptised but Lisa was deathly ill so we had to stay home and get her some medical help.
I also started loosing my hair, a side effect of my surgery :(
September- Rob was called to be Executive Secretary to the Bishop at church.
As I look at my planner the month is filled with ink..there are days that I don't think I could put one more thing but most are not blog worthy appointments.
October- We celebrated a good friends birthday with a surprise party.
We had fun at the ward Trunk or Treat party.
We also started fighting to find out what was sucking the life out of our sweet Mimi.
November- Robert's mom and Dad both had knee surgery 5 days apart! talk about keeping Rob hopping then I got sick so I couldn't help go visit :(
Many days we thought we were going to bury our sweet Mimi. We even considered putting her to sleep and had researched a grave yard to have her buried. We just kept getting this feeling to wait and as hard as that was to do with her sooooooo sick I mean I would go to bed at night expecting to find her dead in her basket in the morning. We got our miracle and she started turning around and today with the exception of her sight she seems to be doing very well.
November also brought a great treat for me..Mom and I went to Lodi for Thanksgiving to have a family Thanksgiving with almost all the family. Ryan was at BYU Idaho and Rob had to stay with Lisa so they were missed. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving that I hope we will get to do again.
Rob also sang in the Temple hill Choir.
December- Rob had gastric sleeve surgery the 4th of December. I was sooo nervous going in to this with him, I couldn't figure out why. Day of surgery came and the surgery went well. Post op he had a terrible time with gas being trapped in his chest and high blood pressure. He was in soooo much pain and I felt so helpless it was awful and scary and a whole host of emotions. I was emotionally spent that night let me tell you. Thankfully he is better now. He is now focusing on his journey to a whole new way of life.
I also have discovered my condramalasia is getting worse and I am almost at bone on bone in my left knee. I also have a hematoma on the bone there. So I had a shot which I had before about 6 years ago but this time I had an awful reaction and my blood suger spiked to 259 and I was a mess yesterday. Greatfully it is going down but I will be calling the Dr. in the morning when he gets back in to find out more about why that happened.
We are looking forward to Christmas. Robs dad will be joining us and I always love having family around at the holidays I wish we were able to have more come.
Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope 2013 will be our dream come true year and perhaps a little less busy.
