happybirthdayto me

so today is my 24th birthday!!! Can't believe it :) My mom took me out to lunch today and we went shopping. She bought me some really cute shoes and my makeup. Tonight I'm going out to eat with a bunch of my friends. should be fun. I'm excited. I'll try and take some pics to post later. till then...

In memory...

So, I just found out yesterday that my friend Amy Lantz passed away after fighting cancer all her life. All the years I had known Amy her cancer had been in remission and I had barely heard that it had come back. I've barely talked to her in years, but I did email her about a month ago to see how she was doing and got a reply. I wish I would have tried harder...It was great to get to go to her service yesterday and to see the amazing woman she became since we graduated from high school. Here are a few pictures of us...

answer after all this time...

Well, there maybe a reason for all my health problems over the years or maybe just something new...I just found out today I have something called Graves Disease. Which sounds awful. Its actually an auto-immune disease that attacks the thyroid making it larger and many of my health problems can be explained by this diagnosis. Not too thrilled though. No real answers yet, but nice to know. I'm going to an endocrinologist once the referral goes through.

On a different note. I got a new phone yesterday due to my stupidity of leaving my old one in airport bathroom. I had to pay an exorberant (my bad spelling of alot)amount of money since I'm not due for a new one for a year. but it is a great phone. It is the new Palm Centro. I love it. Although I'm just getting used to it.

Well I really need to get ready for work. later

I think I should stop visiting Utah...

Ugh... everytime I come to Utah I seem to get sick. It is so lame. I have some stupid stomach bug. But Chris had it yesterday and is already over it so I'm hopeful...But it's pretty lame to be sick right when I get here.

So far I've read a book, done a little shopping and talking with my sister alot. It's been fun to spend time with the kids. Dane keeps calling me "grandma" although I can get him to say my name now. Joelle is still being my shadow and being incredibly stubborn...Liam has been riding his bike pretty much the whole time I've been here. Max talks nonstop about everything and nothing all at the same time and it is adorable. and Lucus is pretty darn cute crawling all over.

That's about it. I'm tired and weak. but I'm sure I'll be good soon.

so over work...

I think I've worked too much the last few days. UGH, I'm so over it! I got cancelled and then got called back in so I was not too happy. OH well. I need the hours anyways. So, now I'm on my way to Utah. YEAH!! I'm tired and don't feel like getting in an airplane but then it will be great. I'll write more later.
