Oh My God Becky…
I have a confession. I’m addicted to the first dance wedding videos. I love it when couples do really crazy things during their first dance. This one totally cracked me up!

On the Mend!
Oops. I really didn’t mean to be gone from here for so long. It wasn’t until I spotted my email from Katy Blogless checking to see if I was ok that I realized how long it had been! Everything seems to be a blur when you’re not living your life by the [...]
Ouch…
I have more pain today than I have had since I came home. Not major pain, but more dull constant pain. Guess it is time to up the pain killers and just take a nap because I hate the loopy effect.
Who can complain about an excuse to take a nap though? [...]
Home.
The doctor decided yesterday that I had reached the point in recovery where the thing I needed most was rest. If you’ve ever spent the night in the hospital, you know just how hard it is to get rest there – the noises in the hallway, the people coming in and out to give [...]
All is well
Mike here. Surgery is over, and all went well. She’s still in recovery, haven’t seen her yet. Thanks for the well-wishes so far.
The Latest…
Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, at 1pm. The fibroids are not visible on the ultrasound now, and the ovarian cyst is gone. However, I have a very thick and enlarged uterus, and still have very bad bleeding. My body has no iron reserves at all. The bleeding has to be stopped. Due to the very [...]
Hello from the hospital!
I had an appointment still with the cardiologist yesterday, originally for surgery clearance. I did not want the Lupron without her approval. I asked Mike to drive me there because I had been getting pretty dizzy. Good thing I did that, because I basically fainted right after I got in the car.
The rest [...]
24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot…
OMG. OMG. OMG. (by the way, I do actually say OMG out loud, so it has gone beyond online for me.) This is THE FUNNIEST VIDEO I have seen in awhile. Kenny was telling Mike & I about it on Saturday before Elaine & I left for wedding #2, but [...]
Postponed.
Surgery is postponed. It seems that having a Hemoglobin of 7.7, when about 12.2 is normal, is not an advised way to go into surgery. I’m officially quite anemic. Too much of a risk for a need for transfusions, and just my body is too weak in general.
However, we need to stop [...]
How to Feel Like a Rockstar…
I wish this photo wasn’t blurry, but it is … and yet I think it is a PERFECT capture of exactly how we were all feeling at that very moment.
Elaine & I wrapped up shooting our Saturday (11/10/07) wedding, which started at 8am, at 3:45pm. I drove over to her house (on the way [...]
Gratitude…
Nasty, nasty headache this afternoon. Probably in part due to fasting until almost 1pm because I had a doctor’s appointment this morning (pre-op clearance with the cardiologist) and I instinctively knew she would want bloodwork drawn so I didn’t eat. Smart move, saved me a follow-up trip over there for the lab work, [...]
Destination Newborn Session…
Back on October 15th, Gannon was born to Cari & Chris up in New York City. Chris is one of Mike’s best friends from high school and was one of the groomsmen in our wedding. When I went to NYC back in May, I had breakfast with them the morning that I was [...]
Nothing New…
I went back to Dr. P yesterday since the girly issues seemed to get better and then get worse while I was out of town. Of course, everything was pretty normal yesterday, and he didn’t actually examine me. He did take the time to talk with me though, so that was a good [...]
Another Future Knitter?
Meet Rebekah. Her grandmother is a knitter. But she doesn’t just knit, oh no. She does pretty much every other craft you can think of too! She crocheted the blanket that Rebekah is sleeping on, and she smocked and made her beautiful dress. So amazing!
I love photographing babies – they [...]
Honey, I’m Home!
“Believe that you can do it, under any circumstances. Because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you searching for the answers, then pretty soon you get it.”
– Wally “Famous” Amos
Finally home from the workshop, and let me just say it … it was gooooooooood. I love that [...]
The Problem…
It was decided again last night, when a New Kids On the Block song came on the 80s Sirius radio station, that the problem with today’s music is the lack of keyboards and not enough “wooooooowooooo” types of emphasis in songs. Know what I mean?
Keyboards ROCK. Don’t you think so?
