So Early November you remember I had my engagement pictures taken, following that I went it for a “Nose Job” I had surgery the day before Thanksgiving up at the University Hospital. I can’t say it was a great experience but certainly not like my last! My surgery was scheduled for 1 pm and I was told to arrive at 11:30 to get paperwork and all the jazz done beforehand. I arrived a little before 11:30 took care of the paperwork and went to sit in the waiting area. Soon I was taken back into my room and give a lovely nightgown to wear around. Around 3pm I was told that surgery is pushed back and I should be taken in sometime before 5pm… Remind you that I haven’t had anything to eat/drink since midnight… I am a little dehydrated by this time, so I remind them of that and tell them they probably should put my IV in. It was a little tricky being my veins had went into hiding from not being nourished properly. About 4:30 I was wheeled back to have my deviated septum fixed. I was out of surgery in about 45 mins and I remember waking up and still feeling the breathing tube down my throat. I really don’t like that feeling. I pretty much went right home, ate some soup and went to bed.
Thanksgiving day we spent the majority of time over at the Thompson house, we made a pit stop by the Paxman family dinner as well. I felt pretty good considering my nose has just been broken and fixed the day before. 2 weeks later my brother Kasey went in to have his tonsils removed. He really didn’t like the experience at all, Thank goodness we know someone in the ice cream business and he was able to have some soft cold foods to get some kind of food into him. About 2 weeks following Kasey having surgery my Dad went in for a Knee Replacement; this is something he has wanted to get done for at few years now but Doctors just kept pushing it back because of his age. They thought went they went in that he would need to have a FULL knee replacement, however once they got in and truly assessed the knee the decided to only do a partial knee replacement. My dad spent basically 2 days in the hospital, and came home early on Christmas Eve, what a great present to have my dad home for Christmas and not having to spend Christmas day at the hospital. I am happy to say my dad is home, walking around and even begun driving again this past week.
Christmas we great! Seth and I were both very spoiled. Seth has bought us a couch on black Friday, so that we can entertain more people at our place and have somewhere to relax and snuggle together. We love it!

So that was obviously out big Christmas present. I had been a snoop and figured out that Seth was going to sign us up for Netflix, which we were going to have to stream through our Wii and only be able to stream in SD, so I bought Seth a Blu-Ray player with Netflix capabilities, funny thing is Seth was going for the same thing a bought a Blu-Ray player for us as well.. So I made him take the one he got for me back before Christmas and figure something else out, cause I know I am a lot easier to shop for than he is. But hey at least we both know the other was thinking about it right? My parent gave me a new pots and pans so I don’t have to use the misfit pots and pans anymore , they also gave me a blender so I can make smoothies, or as Jesten would like to call it a Margarita Making Machine. I love having new kitchen gadgets, they are so much fun and I love thinking of new things to make in/with them. We also receive a few(4 blankets), but I love my blankets and they are so so so snuggly! Zoie got a big bone and a pink hoodie plus lots of treats throughout the holidays.
For New Years we didn’t have really any plans and ended up at my parents playing games and watching a movie.
Right after the Holidays comes Seth’s Birthday… It was actually on Monday! For his birthday I surprised him by only working a ½ day at work then sneaking home to surprise him. We went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, Did a little shopping at the mall, where Seth got a remote control helicopter, he is such a kid at heart! After hanging out all day we went over to my mom’s for Cake, she has decided after watching many cake shows she wants to decorate cakes.. so this is the cake they made for Seth. This is the first time she has ever made a 3 tier cake, let alone used fondant to cover the cake. I think it turned out pretty good!
Now it’s on to planning the Wedding! As of right now we have chosen to go with April 8th , the only thing that might make that change is if the venue we select doesn’t have that date, then we may change slightly. We will see… The wedding is going to be in Salt Lake rather than Mexico like I was previously planning, because I am super scared of not knowing my vendors and everything not working out like I had planned. Plus it will allow more of our friend to make it to the reception and wedding. So… If you would like and invite you best be emailing me your address either through my blog, facebook, or my email.
That’s pretty much the news from my end. I am going to try and do better about keeping up with things, and posting more about the wedding as it gets planned, but you know life gets so busy!
