Whats going on

So, there hasn't really been to much going on. I'm on week 5 recovery and feeling a lot better then I did 2 weeks ago. I cannot wait to get back to being able to being me.
Since I have been stuck down for so long I have started getting ready for yes Halloween ( I know it's July) I'm crazy yes, but I really want fall. I know we don't get the season change just hot, hotter and I've melted. So I may need to take a trip home in a month or so to catch my fav. season ever.
Since I can't wait I had to change my blog to make it a little more fall like :)

Wow, An Anniversary, 2 Birthdays and 2 Surgaries later

So that is what has been going on in our lives lately.. No big plans coming up just trying to recover, and hope to find a good job.








After we got these minor pains out of the was it was time to celebrate Jake 26th Birthday. He worked for some of the day, then we went to dinner at famous Daves, then back to the house for cake and ice cream. I didnt take many pictures as I was still out of commission for the most part. His sister took a few, and I will get them as soon as I can.. But here are a few of Jake sharing ice cream with Mattie..

So after we celebrated my birthday it was time to get ready for a long over do surgery. As some know I have had issues for the last 2 years. we thought it was one thing, went to the Docs they said it was a cyst but to seek a specialist, after seeing him he knew just what it was a Fistula. The only way to get it to go away was to have surgery. I am not going to go in to detail if you want to know you can look it up. I warn you though it's sick.. (not in the its cool, but in the I am going to throw up sick) A week later Jake went to the Dermatologist to have a spot looked at. He had,had this spot for coming up on 5 years, it would bleed, scab and bleed again without ever really going away. It came back as skin cancer. Small as the spot was it had to be treated. It was in office, and they got it with the first removal of the skin layers. He got it all removed and cleared, but the Doc says with him being so young, he is most likely to come across it again in his life. So he had that taken care of at the first part of June. Then my surgery followed on the 17th. It went well, but the recovery is very slow and this has been the first day I've felt well..


2 more cakes.. Icecream and Chocolate.. Yes 3 birthday cakes. YUMMY!!


Jake, me and Mattie at amore's I love their deep dish pizza


COOKIE CAKE



Turning 26, As goes the last few years, there was a hockey tournament. After the game A few friends of ours had got me a cookie cake (I have never had one before) So we went up to the Bar at the rink and shared some, and had a few laughs..
In the picture is Karrie, and Mikie. She is bestest and always has me cracking up


I had so much with this guy, I kept feeding him and he ended up following me back and forth in their pin..




This is from my phone, but he was right over us, you could feel him breath and hear him clear as day.

While we were out there for the hawks we also had time on our hands, so we took a day trip to the wildlife world zoo. I don't know how but I lost some of the pictures. Some of the best pictures. They had a a few white tigers that were roaring and walking right next to the gates. They were so close it seemed as if you could pet them. They have the leopards cage was set up really neat. You walked under this walk way and the cage was on both sides of you with a walkway for them above your head. I had a bunch of pictures of one of them sleeping right over our head. Jake could touch him. (But really would you want to wake that cat up)






My Fav player...



I apologize for not keeping this up to date. We have just had a lot going on the last few months, as you can see from the title. Not to count the little things in between it all.

At the end of March we celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We went out to Phoenix again and saw the Blackhawks beat the Coyotes. It is always better live sitting there in the stands than it is watching them on Tv.
