Schlitterbahn

As the weeks fly by while Bek is here we were able to take some time as a family and go the Schlitterbahn! It was so much fun. We rode the lazy river, went down waterslides we didn't dare try when we were younger and just had a great time. It is a lot more fun when you are older and know your limit. After we spent the day there we went down to the strand and see the shops. Here are some of those photos!

Our New Place!!

So we finally got into our new place and we are enjoying it! Our little kitten Phantom is loving it too. Here are a few pics of the house and of our little terror...Phantom!

Here is the view from our balcony during a rainy moment.










Yes, a moment and I say that because it only last a couple of minutes and then you get this...



Bek and I one the balcony during the moment of rain :)








And of course...I can't forget Phantom, our little kitty!

May 2010

So May has seemed to fly by these days. Only one more week of it and then it is on to June! We found out we will be staying in Texas for a while longer so we found an apartment! We move in tomorrow and we are excited. We have missed the true married life. Other than that May hasn't been to crazy.

In July I am going to go on a road trip with some awesome women! It's going to be lots of fun. We are going from Georgia to St. George, which is going to be fun because I haven't seen many of the states we will travel through. It is definitely going to be an amazing experience. :)

My mom and I have some cakes to do in the next month, one wedding cake, a graduation cake, and a baby shower cake. It is going to be fun!

Yay!

So Vick got a letter in the mail the other day telling him that he is considered 60% disabled due to his time in the Army, both mental and physical problems contribute. We are going to see a veteran's advocate this week to get everything squared away and make sure he gets all the benefits he is qualified for! This also means that I will be covered as well under the VA, and he can still work.

Due to this news we are planning on moving back to Utah this coming July/August. We are both going to enroll in school as well. We are still unsure of where we are going to live exactly. It is between Provo/Orem area and Cedar City. As soon as we find out I will post it. :)

I will also be taking a road trip with some girl friends of mine in July from Georgia to STG! It's going to be a blast!

Crazy Month

So April totally flew by. Vick was at the VA hospital for the first week and a half finishing up a program to help him cope with PTSD. He got home and looked healthier than he has been in quite some time...then the swelling happened.

We found out his liver was swelling causing him to take on fluids, here it is May and it is still lingering. We go back today for more tests...this time on his heart. I hope that they can find out what is going on so that he can focus on getting better again. I was really enjoying his healthy time.

Work is going well, it is Mother's Day this weekend so it is supposed to slow down. This could be good or bad since it's only a temp job and I'm not sure what I will do next if they don't keep me hired on. I guess we have the rest of the month to find out.

On the other hand I e-mailed an Advisor at Utah Valley University about starting online courses in the fall. It has been way too long and I want to get finished up with my degree. I'm already half way done and taking a year off makes me realize how much sooner I could have been done. Dang Army for not knowing what is going on. Oh wells, I am going to take a few extra classes each semester so that I can finish in a good length of time and hopefully start my career!

Bekah gets here on Sunday or Monday and I am so excited because I haven't seen her since March and she will be here for a month!!

What a week...

So I went with Vick to the VA on Thursday to see his doctor about his swelling legs...he wanted another round of tests. It turns out his liver is enlarged and so his body is taking on fluid, hence the swelling. I feel so bad for him, he is hurting. They took him off pretty much all his medication and put him on some "water pills" so that the swelling can start going down. I don't think it is working. We go in again on Tuesday and if the swelling is not gone, or he is worse, than they will have to admit him until they figure out why his liver is having problems.

I just hope he will get better soon. He is not a happy camper. Other than that I just worked and made some flowers in my cake class. I will post the results of this course next week when we are done. It is our last class of Course three and we will start another class in June! A month off will be good.

Bekah will be here in a couple of weeks!!! She is staying for a month and I am so excited to see her. We are going to Tennessee the weekend after she gets here to see our step-brother graduate from High School. I've never been to Tennessee before, or the states we will be going through to get there,so I'm going to take lots of pictures!

Well, I'm going to head to the kitchen to make me something to eat and get Vick up. We are going to go see Oceans at the IMAX theater!!! It's going to be amazing.
