Our Garden

This is our full box. There are four tomato plants, jalepenos, green peppers, zucchinis, cucumbers, carrots, kohl rabi, and some herbs. So we are hoping that none of it dies and we get some good produce off of it.
These are the boxes Chris made. I think he went a little overboard with how many he made but I won't let him fill them all the way up. I don't think he realizes how much food we are going to be getting off these plants.
There is a gate that blocks off the yard on the side of the house. As I was taking pictures of the garden the dogs sit here and whine at the fence. I thought it was a pretty cute picture.

Saying Goodbye to Rawlins

The top picture is Me and Sheena in the therapy gym. The bottom picture is Jackie, Sheena, and Me. These girls are my best friends it was so hard saying goodbye to them. They changed my life for the better. I love these girls!



The day we left Rawlins was a bittersweet one. I think I made like eighteen people cry. It was horrible and we are going to miss them all so much. This is the cake that Chris' dietary manager Deb made for us. I thought it was so cute so I had to take a picture.

We drove to Utah on Friday the 20th and then we left for Vegas on Monday, then hit Tucson on Tuesday. We got a GPS and the GPS took us down through the Hoover Dam. It was so cool!! They are building a road that goes over the dam and it was about halfway done. It was so high. I want to go back and drive over the bridge once it is done. The drive wasn't too bad, except that Cuddles howled the whole way. She finally calmed down once we got out of Phoenix. I was so irritated by the time we got home.

This has been a hard week

This week was supposed to be the happiest time for us. Our baby was supposed to be ten weeks on Friday and I was having the first ultrasound on Wednesday. Well when we got to the ultrasound the baby had no heartbeat, it stopped growing at six weeks. As I was lying there on the table as he is telling me that there is something wrong, I could not tell you what I was thinking. Except that this cannot be happening to us again. You could see the babies head and little arms and how I wish that it was alive. The doctor told me that the amniotic sac was still growing but the baby was not. That is why I didn't have a miscarriage. So on Thursday morning I went in to have a D & C. We are hopeful that this will shed some light on what is going wrong and could possibly help us in the future. I did really well in surgery and have no pain thus far. Although we have had these challenges this past year we are still hopeful as is the doctor. He has been very thorough and we greatly appreciate all he has done for us. We are also grateful for everyone's support through this rough time. We know that without you this would only be harder to get through.

Our New House

This is our new house in Tucson. This is the only picture they had online, as soon as we get there and get things organized we will post more pictures.

Our new address is 3617 W Ethan Crossing Lane Tucson, Arizona 85741.

Homeless but Hopeful

Well the movers came yesterday and packed up our entire house in one day. Today they came at 7:30 this morning and loaded up everything into the truck by 1:30 this afternoon. Our furniture is now in route to Tucson. Its a bittersweet moment for us. Our life in Rawlins is ending and our life in Tucson is just beginning. We have moved into the Hampton hotel for the next week and a half. Its fun but nothing like home. I have loved telling everyone that "I am homeless and pregnant." Not really. Just for another week.
