2 weeks!!

In two weeks, Nick and I will be sealed for time and all eternity. The thought scares me and excites me at the same time. Let me explain, the ONLY reason I'm scared is that i HATE being away from my parents. I am a HUGE home body. But I will get used to it. It will be me and him. FOREVER :). The excitement part is pretty obvious, he makes me SO happy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world that I get to marry him and be sealed forever. I cant wait to start a little family with him. He's going to be an incredible daddy. And a great Husband. I cant wait to come home to him everyday (Or vice versa) And just be able to fall asleep in his arms every night. Its gonna be perfect. I always dream about our wedding day. And for the most part they are REALLY good dreams. Last night I dreamt about it again, and I woke up in tears because i wanted SO bad for it to be real. I cant wait for April 9th to get here so I can be his wife. Eternity is NOT long enough. I love you baby.

Recovery

I had my gall bladder out almost a week ago. Its been harder on my body than I though. Im finally going back to work tomorrow and have mixed emotions. Im bored outta my mind at home, but I dont really have full range of motion in my torso. It will be good for me to get outta the house for a while, im going stir crazy! I just have 4 little incision in my tummy. the one on the belly button definitely hurts the worst! I cant sit up in the mornings without a HORRIBLE pain. But once thats over with I feel better with just ibuprofen. I've been taking a pain pill just at night mostly to help me sleep. They seem to just make me sleep through the pain which is good. I have had such a great support system. Nick and my parents have been here all day almost everyday as well as Rachy! And people in my ward have called and visited almost everyday. It made me realize how many people really care about me :) I love my life. And I love my family and my future in laws. They are definitely some of my best friends. I cant wait to marry Nick. I got my temple recommend tonight. Its all falling into place. I also got my bridals done :) SO CUTE!!!

Results!

So in just the past month I have had the following tests done...
*Colonoscopy
*Pancreas/stomach blood tests
*Ultra Sound
*Upper Scope
*Biopsys
*Hida Scan
And I am SOO happy to say we FINALLY got some results. The purpose of the hida scan was to test my gall bladder, which is what we have been suspecting for the past 3 years or so, but couldnt get any doctor to listen long enough. So they injected me with a chemical that is supposed to cause a gall bladder attack if thats what it is. I got a little bit nauseous but it wasnt anything horrible, so I figured dang it, its not that either. That night I got REALLY sick. Then on monday I called to get my results all the nurse would say was "he'll tell you at your follow up on wednesday." So i get there Wednesday morning and he says a normal gall bladder functions at 35 percent and mine is at 1.5 percent, which means its barely releasing anything at all. So he referred me to a surgeon. We met with him yesterday and as he was reading my results he says wait, wait, wait. Your gall bladder is NOT at 1.5 percent its at NEGATIVE 1.5 percent. Which means its not releasing ANY bile at all. It just keeps getting bigger as bile produces in it. So during the test, rather than releasing the chemical, it just held it in there and got larger. So next Thursday, March 11th I am getting my gall bladder out. Im so scared, but so relieved at the same time. I wont have to live with pain EVERYDAY. I told my surgeon, "I dont know what I'd do if I woke up one morning and wasn't in pain! I think I'd freak out!"

ALSO...
Happy 8 months to my smokin hot fiance. I can't wait to start forever. We get sealed in 1 month and 5 days. And its dragging! I LOVE YOU BABE!
