It's December 1st everyone, which means it has been exactly 1 year since my jaw surgery. Its been a crazy year of ups and downs, lost and founds and a whole lot of FUN!!!!! Since I had the surgery I have taken on a new way of looking at life, or at what life throws my way. Usually nothing is worse than the surgery/recovery, which means there is nothing I/we can't handle. I'm not gonna lie, the first 6 months of the year was rough and felt like it lasted an eternity. It started with the surgery, which I would never wish on my worst enemies, well if I actually had enemies. It was a long healing process, and just when I starting feeling good about myself, we had a miscarriage right before Hayden's first birthday. Yeah, not many people know, cause really how do you bring something like that up. Anyways, it was the worst feeling and again I was not wanting to wish this on any of my imaginary enemies. But through this I learned a great verse and my new favourite song by Jesus culture, "You make all things work together for my good". Its hard to see it at the time, but as you come out of the fog you begin to see the good in all things. And again, once I thought I had no more tears left in my body I lost my wedding set. Yes, it's lost, gone, never found. I put up signs, put in a police report and searched every day for it. Finally one day I just got this feeling of peace. Like I was to let it go and move on. Once I did that, I called our insurance provider and learned that our content insurance would cover my lost rings. Which was a blessing. Micheal and I got to pick out a new ring. This new ring reminds me of new beginings and a fresh start. I learned you can't dwell on the past, no matter how hard it is, you just have to move forward so you can experience all that God has planned for you. Soon it was June, which came the sun came out, literally, haha as we took our kids to Hawaii, which was amazing. Plus I was in the best shape of my life and was feeling pretty good about myself, So what was there to complain about. Next was my cousin's wedding, which was a long time coming and amazing. For those who know me, know that I love WEDDINGS. I love everything about them, the dress, flowers, food and all the love in the room. What makes a wedding even better is being a bride's maid, because you get to help out behind the scene and get to eat first :) I was just telling Micheal earlier today that I would remarry him every year, just so I can go through the whole process of finding the perfect dress and planning every little detail. Yeah, I'm kinda crazy, but everyones got their THING! Next came our trip to Disneyland, which was SO fun! I hadn't been since I was 11, so it seemed new again. It was so fun to be a kid again, staying out late, not worrying about getting back for nap time, or bedtime or carrying snacks and diapers around. We were free and it was GREAT :) When we got back from california we announced to our family that we were expecting baby #3 who is due May 2, 2013. waahoo which is pretty exciting, and scary at the same time. hahaha we are entering new territory, not many of our friends have more than 2 kids. we will soon be out numbered by little turkeys, crazy? maybe! Fun? Always! I love babies! I love them like I love weddings. Micheal says its a good thing that I work where I do, with babies. hmmmm now all I have to do is plan weddings on my days off! how perfect would that be? my 2 favorite things : ) Now it's december and we have lots to look forward too. Christmas, then the Caribbean in Feb, then baby!! It's gonna go by SO fast. So that has been the year in a nut shell. A lot happens in a year, and I can't wait to see what this year brings. oh, and my jaw, its perfect!!! sometimes it aches but nothing to write home about. Micheal and I look back at pictures of me before the surgery and OH man, do I look different. My whole profile and jaw line has changed. This was proven at my cousins wedding. One of my cousins and one of my uncles didn't recognize me, hahahaha they were wondering the entire ceremony who I was standing up with Cindee! crazy! anyways, that's how the first year with my new jaw went! not too shabby I say. Have a great night and a wonderful sunday. xoxo
