See ya later...NOT

On the 23rd of June I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. I had cryptic tonsils and knew about it for a couple years. I had heard the older you are the worse the surgery, dumb me put it off for 2 years. Finally when I went to the ENT on a Wednesday they requested surgery for the following Friday (2 days later)! Of coarse I had to get my last beers in so I set it up for the following Wednesday! Let me tell ya... rough does not do justice for the recovery from this surgery at the age of 29! BUT... after a few set backs (normal for me haha) a lot of yucky pills and shedding 19 pounds, I am feeling good! I will NEVER have to do it again since tonsils don't grow back BUT if I had to... I could handle it! So if you need them out, do it! You feel so much better!

MaMa Jan...

Well... If this doesn't have Mama's name written all over it! (No pun intended!!!)
A few months ago my BF Alicia (aka, Sister) went to Provo ti visit Mama Jan's grave. When we got to the site there was nothing but a tiny piece of plastic that simply said her name, birthday and the day she died. It was hard to swallow, She was so incredible and we needed a "Headstone" that would stand out like no other.
As we left the cemetery Alicia and I decided to go "shopping" but not the kind of "shopping" we normally do. We were in search of the perfect headstone. P.S. Not the best "shopping therapy" but we made the best of it!!!
We walked into the little empty place full of granite, cement, dirty bathroom, filthy men, huge dogs, etc. I have to admit, it was pretty intimidating at first. Like so many other "Ma & Pa shops" the first impression was so far off! After lot's of looking and explaining to the amazing man that worked there, Brett. We figured it out!!! With a little money (Pun intended) a drawing, and all the necessary items... OUR creation was ready and in place for Memorial Day!!!
I know she LOVES it. I could feel her with us the day we picked it.
For such an emotional task, She held our hands and told us what she wanted.

To Mama,
I think about you every day. I love the bond that we developed and I will forever cherish it. Thank you for bringing me and Alicia back together and assisting us to be each others BEST FOREVER FRIENDS. I know you know but... She is doing AMAZING things for everyone. I love you to the moon & back. Don't forget to "keep" poppin' in on My little Family.

Alicia,
Thank you for being THE BEST FRIEND I could ask for. I love you more then you'll ever understand. Thank you for always standing by me. Even when you don't agree with things I do...you are there and I know you will catch me if I fall!

I love you to the Moon & Back...FOREVER!!!

It's Wednesday AGAIN?

I'm so thankful today is "Wordless Wednesday"... I have SO much to say but no vocabulary!
