Making A Few Decisions

Recently Logan and I have been going through some troubles which are making us make some decisions. Some have been a couple decision or it has been Logan or my choice. And here is a list of them and what we choose to do:

1. Car trouble - At the beginning of the summer, Logan's car broke down. The bottom of the engine went out. Due to the fact that not only is Logan still going to graduate school, I still have to pay off my loans. We decided to not buy another one until we have some more money and knew if we was going to stay in state after Logan graduates or leave the state.  Also we found a hair-like crack in my car that would take a thousand dollars to replace but since Logan's car is some much like my model that we are going to use parts from his car to put in my car.

2. Infertility - Due to my health problems we still can't seem to have kids yet and we are kid of tried of waiting. So we are take my doctor's word and going on Clomid starting in October. We do not know if this will work or not. We all still think it would help out if I lost 40 more pounds. So....now I'm also getting ready to do a detox that I found out from one of Logan's friends. I'm hoping this helps out a little more too.

3. Student Loans - So Logan still has two more semesters before he is done but due to the fact that for some reason no one wants to hired me Logan when out and got his job back from Sears...only he's going to be working in Idaho Falls Sears now. With this we are hoping to get a lead on somethings but not liking now.

4. Still Looking for a Job - As I said before no one wants to hired me...so we kind of started talking about me going back to school and getting a different degree. I was thinking photography or graphic designer...it's still up in the air right now since we have a lot to look into especially with maybe moving next summer sometime towards the end of it. .

Korey's and Stefanie's Wedding

Today was Korey's and Stefanie's Wedding. We all had a blast. I cried so hard when Korey was sealed to Stefanie. I was so happy for them. After the sealing they went to the front of the Temple and told pictures. I did a few myself also. I figure I may as well, because there were a lot of family that I have not seen in a very long time. After that, we all when our home and took naps...besides Logan and I. I was still finishing the wedding cake that day just so that I would not melt while we was outside. I finished putting on the fondant just in time to head over the park for the reception and finished the final touches on the cake. It turn out so great! I was surprised with myself. We than waited for the reception to start. For an hour Logan and I went around and was talking to family members and friends. After that hour, we than started dancing...well, not really. I only dance a few time within the first hour and than I thought "what the heck...my brother only gets married once" and walked out on the dance floor with my sisters. NOW, Logan was different on the other hand. He would only come on the dance floor until it was a slow dance with me. 

We really missed having Cale here with us. We all know that he would of been out on that dance floor with Korey and Stefanie to the very end of the night. We missed you so much!!!

Here are some pictures from the temple. I hope Everyone enjoys them.

August 16th - Doctor's visit

I will say this now...this one will be very short. I do not remember a lot about this one because Korey's and Stefanie's wedding was two days later and than two days after that we went to Cali to visit Logan's brother Nathan and his family (another post that I am hoping to get to).

Doctor will talk to me about another diet that I should try. It's called the Palio diet (I think that's the name)....? Pretty much I would be cutting out dairy and breads and eating lots a legumes (including lots of beans...). I've been trying it, but I always get headaches and bread always seems to make it go away. Why you may ask? To tell you the truth...I do not know. I think it may be due to the fact that recently I've been having smoothies for breakfast.

She also commented on that fact that my body is starting to portion out better. I guessing that's due to the fact that I started on Callanetics (which I have recently been slacking off on) and Zumba (which I'm slacking off on too). I've was eating a lot healthier but with all the traveling that I have done this summer it may take me about a month to get back to what I used to eat. I've also notice that my clothes are fitting really weird now due to the inches that I'm losing.

We also talked about fertility medicine. Logan and I have both decided to go on clomid for 2 reasons: 1) It will help with my PCOS problem of  not releasing the eggs and 2) We would LOVE to start our family. The doctor was going to put me on it right after that appointment but I told her that Logan and I wanted to wait until October - November time due to the fact that Logan has his second conference trip in Italy and I kind of wanted to go with him because it will probably the only time that we will ever go on a big trip like that before having kids. So the doctor and Logan let me make a choice on when to start it and I chose October.

That's pretty much all I can remember from the trip. My next appointment is schedule on Oct. 4th to make some finally decisions and to see how I doing now that I'm not traveling a lot.

Korey's video

So, tonight I was looking on Facebook and I notice that my little sister, Shami, posted a video of Korey, my brother. It's so funny!!! But don't just take my word for it watch the video yourself. ^-^

Yellowstone Park

I'm so far behind on my posts. I have about 4 or 5 months behind...I feel really lazy. Anyways, I guess the first step is by finishing this post. ^-^

So I went to Yellowstone Park for the first time and it was pretty cool. We didn't see much animals but we did see some. Anyways, Barbara, Amanda and Logan took me to the Fairy Falls hike....it took us about 4 or 5 hours long. To be truthful, I have never been on that long of a hike. My longest hike would have to be 3 hours. Towards the last third of the hike....I was so tired. I had knots in my feet the size of acorns!!

After the hike they took me to old faithful. I thought it was ok. The geyser that we saw on the hike to
Fairy Falls. But they did tell me that depending on how it goes off the last time, it can be better too. Something like that.We also went to see the boiling mud ( that seemed really odd to me) but they were really watery this year is what they all said. We also visited another falls...I think it was the Gibbs Falls. It was really pretty. Logan is taking me back this fall at the end of September. He want to take me back for our anniversary trip...so I guess this year we will have to visit a temple that we already have visited. ^-^ It will be a lot of fun.

Cale's Small Surprise

This morning I woke up and notice that there was a lot of messages on my phone from facebook. So I get on facebook to find out that my little brother, Cale, who is in the marines and who I've not seen since April, posted these small messages. Now recently I've been really emotional and can't help crying. Well, when I read the message for me I started crying. He's such a great kid. He's pushed through so many hard times as I did and he still remembers all of us while he is gone. I love and miss him so much. I hope to see him at the end of the year instead of next spring. 

I've posted all the messages that he left us. I hope you guys enjoy reading them!:

Mom, you mom were the one that supported me. I remember hearing you get up in the morning early as heck and getting ready for work. You did the best you could every single day you took care of us kids so well. To me it felt like you didn't ever buy yourself anything, you always put us first. You showed me even though the tiger has you by the throat that it's still not over, that you will still find a way. I hope one day mom I can afford to buy you a big house and that you can retire. A house out in the country so you can have as many patches, shilos, and hooch's as possible. I love you mom and I miss you. Don't work yourself to death.

Brad, Deng man we sure did have problems. But you taught me how to solve a problem like a man. That you don't solve every problem with your fist. You taught me a lot brad. You taught me how to build character and how to not drop a car on yourself, haha. The most memorable thing I remember of you brad is when I almost burned the crap out of your chest with the torch at work. Holy geez, I never crapped my pants so hard. But somehow, someway you didn't even have a scratch. When I come back home it'd be nice to go fishing or something. But work is the first priority. Just wanna say thanks for everything. Love you and are care.

 

Dad, you dad. You never ever gave up on me. You always were there to encourage me, to bandage up my cuts and get me back in the fight. You gave me the mentality that I could make it no matter what. Well dad you pushed me along way and you still push me to go even further today. I love you dad and I miss playing catch with you. I know you won't see this but maybe, just somehow you'll see it somewhere or it'll get sent to you. I love you dad. Thanks for always being there and taking care of me.

 

Korey, wow where to begin. You Korey, I remember when you and Tyann would come over for the weekends to spend time with us and every time it felt like Christmas. We just couldn't get enough of you two. But the most memorable thought of you was when you ate it hard on that ramp at your cousins house and skidded for eternity down the sidewalk. You almost landed a front flip but you got up like a champ, like a stallion and kept going, or actually just went in the house but still. I always looked up to you. I love you buddy and congrats on getting Married. Your gonna be a great ball and chain. Haha or is it the other way around. Take care and stay safe.

 

 Tyann, I remember when I was still just a little guy. I took the remote from you and I ran down the hall way and slammed the back door on your toe. I thought I had killed my older sister. Thinking back I wish I was a better younger brother and wish I treated you better. But for now I just wanna say that I am extremely happy for you and Logan and I know you two will start and have a beautiful family. I love you big sis and,I didn't forget about all your chocolate chip pumpkin bread that Char and myself ate. Take care and thanks for everything

 Brooke, I remember when you were really young and we went fishing at Mackey reservoir and instead of fishing you just sat there and ate the worms. Haha. When dad found out he was so mad but so cracked up he just walked away. Your gonna do great things as well Brooke. Just keep pushing and keep getting good grades. Don't let those other girls bring you down, don't let the stupid boys break your heart cause one day a man worthy of being with you will come along. I love you little sis. Take care.

Char, I remember when we were little kids and we'd beat the crap out of each other. It was constant picking on each other but what I didn't realize is that you were the best friend I had. At times I may have made it seem that I didn't care but I always wanted the best for you. I wanted you to play football, I wanted you to play a lot of sports cause I wanted to say that's my brother and be proud when I said it. You were always the underdog buddy but always could find a way to put yourself on top. You got potential buddy and I know you can do great things. I miss you brother and friend. Take care and I love you.
