concert

I really have absolutely nothing to say, but I am so bored, so I thought that I would post something.
Brandon survived his first week of school. He is not excited about sitting in class for hours a day. He would much rather be able to work on the patients and be up and moving, but that time will come! :) This semester is not going to be as bad as the last 2. Thank goodness!
We went to the Jericho road concert last night. I was afraid to ask Brandon if we could go--afraid of the rejection I would get, but he said we could go! I wasn't dying to go, but I thought it would be something different than just sitting at home like we usually do! :) I get so sick of being in the same place all day (working at home). I am so glad that so many more people I know are moving to slc! :) Stephanie and her family, Meghan (friend from college), and hopefully Cara, Matt, and Hadlee soon!

Here are some pictures from last night. I feel like all our pictures are the same! Not much different from just the two of us! :)






Brandon is completely healed. His scab came off the other day. It is going to be a pretty big scar and Brandon thinks that it will keloid (sp?). We can go in and have them fix it again if it really bothers him, but that will be like a year down the road!

This weekend is Brandons birthday(and Cara's)on the 1st. I can't believe that he will be 29!! CRAZY!! At least it isn't 30 yet! Brandon told me that all he wants to do on his birthday is watch football! I love him to death, but I don't think I can handle it! I am already sick of football talk and stuff and it hasn't even really started!! I just hope that Utah State wins at least one game this season to make Brandon happy. He is very unhappy that they are starting Leonard again as QB! We will see how it goes! I think that we will go to Brigham that weekend and let Brandon watch the football with his dad, which is probably more fun, cus I would probably complain all day! :)

Work is work for me! Nothing new has changed with me!!

Back to school!!

I guess it is about time for a new post. Nothing exciting has happened.
Brandon went back to school today. He was really not excited about it, especially because he thought he had this week off! :) I have to laugh.. I think it is so funny. He wouldn't have known, but he got an email last week from someone in his program that said see you next week and Brandon was like "what?" so he checked and sure enough they started today! That is such a bummer. I hate when things like that happen! I am sure glad he looked though! He would have missed the first week of school!! :) lol
He is so into football already that I can't even stand it! It is only the beginning too!! It is a good thing that I love him as much as I do! :)
I have been working lots of overtime for work. They offered it and I was not going to turn it down at 25.00/hr! What a burnout! It will go straight to paying some medical bills.. NOT FUN!
Brandon went to his follow up appt with the eye doctor. IT is a lymphangioma In summary, he won't be able to fix his eye completely, it will always be further out than the other one. They can fix it a little, but there is a risk of double vision and that would not be a good thing. That is really basic. Brandon would be able to tell you more! :) Now we have to pray about it and decide if it is worth it! $800 later! LIfe is crazy! :)
Um.. everything else is good. Cara and Matt are going to move here to slc! I am excited for that! Matt is wroking in Draper adn is sick of the commute from Brigham to Draper and home every day. My Dad has an apartment in Ogden now.
I think that is it for now.. will post again if anything exciting happens! :)

Finally home!

Just wanted to give a short little update. I never have pictures, sorry. I just think that they would all be the same! :)
Brandon finally finished up his last week of his internship last week (the 3rd). It was the longest week of my life. It went by so SLOW!! I couldn't figure out how I had done that for 10 weeks! The week felt like 10 weeks! It is just because I knew he was coming home and I was so excited!! The Physical Therapy gave Brandon a nice check when he finished. Too bad that we have med bills to pay!! :) Brandon really wants some golf clubs with it so if anyone knows where to get some nice, cheap ones.. let us know! :)
This week has been great with Brandon home. I can't get out of bed in the mornings to work out now though. he has broken my routine! :)
We went and ate dinner the other night and we both didn't have a thing to say to each other because we are with each other all day even though I am working!
Brandon kept busy last week. We went to his eye appt. WE were there FOREVER just to be told the same things that we have already been told. The doctor wanted him to go get a cat scan and an ultrasound so that they could tell exactly what it was behind his eye. HE got the cat scan, but had to pay our insurance deductible again (our insurance year ended on the 30jun07--brandon was in the hospital for his appendix on june 17-23), so that was not fun. How unlucky is that! Anyway.. he went to get the ultrasound, but our insurance didn't cover that doctor, so we said forget it and dr. anderson's office said that was okay.. they would do it without. We go back on aug 15 and hopefully tell us what is going on! They did tell us that if it is vascular.. it is too risky to do surgery as too much bleeding and could cause blindness. If it is tissue, that is very easy to remove. The doctor said that is what he is hoping it is. I guess all that we can do is wait and see.
Work is good. Brandon starts school on aug 27, 07 and we will see if he can get a little part-time job.
This last weekend we found out my parents are getting divorced. It is really hard, but I think we all saw it coming. I just know that everything will work out the way it needs to be! I just hope that my parents are happy because that is all I want for them both. It kills us all to have to sell the house (my parents) because we all built it together, but we just have to take the memories and move on with life even if it isn't ideal! :)
Okay, so this is not a short update.. sorry!
