Bows bows bows

okay so I've been making a lot of bows and even making some money off them.  Who would of thought. 

so I keep saying I'm going to get some pics up and so here they are finally



These are the 1st ones i ever made - they aren't to pretty but they worked.  

Here are the ones i made for Xmas for my nieces and let me tell you, little people bows aren't as fun to make

 



And here are some of the ones I've made for Sara or other people.

 

 

Well there are a ton more that I've made but it would take up to much room to post them all at least this way you all get the idea of what I've been doing.

SO BORED!!!!!

okay, i've been home a week and a half since my surgery and i'm so bored.  My body is going thru withdraws from working out and now i can't sleep cause my legs are restless and want to be moving. 

Can't wait for the dr to say i can at least go on a 3 mile walk, so i can at least sleep at night.

ugh!!!!!

Jess and Matt Update - -- OH WOW!!!!!

okay, so not much is or has been up with Matt he had minor knee surgery over the summer for a minicus tear.  So minor that the Dr told him it was full weight bearing after he woke up in recovery.  HAHA.  Only his knee is still super tight and weak.  So he's trying to stretch more to try and help strengthen it.

As for me well all kinds of stuff has been going on.

I didn't get to run the Marathon since i couldn't raise enough funds but not to worry I'm still running and working out to start running marathons this fall  (now). 

Only i ended up tearing muscle, ligaments and tendons in my ankle in July and just barely got back to running full on last month (October)  Which really sucked because i started doing Gymnastics again in May and was almost back to my round off back handsprings on the floor.  BLAHHHH.

And know I'm out for another 8+ weeks due to surgery.

Yep, yuck.....  Wed, 10/26, my wonderful Father-n-law took me to the hospital cause i was having some major pain (and when i say major i mean major since i have a pretty high tolerance).  any who we got there about 815ish in the morning and it took lots of Morphine, and x-ray, 2 sonograms and a cat scan to figure out that i had cysts and an appendix issue. so at about 8pm i ended up having surgery to remove the appendix clean up the cyst that ruptured and biopsy the two other cysts i have.  What they thought would be an easy fix turned out to be a little more then they planned for once they opened me up.  So the normal 3 week time frame for the appendix surgery went out the door and I'm at 8+ weeks before i can resume my normal life again. The really sucky thing is I've been home ridden a week now and technically I'm supposed to be till the end of next week.  No WAY!

the Plus i can't drive right now.  since the issues are so close to the nerves that run thru the legs i can't move quick enough to stop my car.  LAME.....   But hey, i think I've watched all my movies for a second time since i bought them all and I have an excuse not to due house work not even light housework or lift anything 5 lbs or heavier.  Hey Dr's orders!!!!!

So all in all I am now in better health and on my way to being fully healthy again which is wonderful....  Thank God for my family, who has been helping me get around the house, out of bed, up from the coach and picking my kids up and taking them to and from school and practices, if it weren't for them i'd be stressing big time.

I've also been making bows for people and I'll get some pics up this weekend so everyone can see what I've been up to beside chauffeuring kids around, moving and getting sick.  The only reall plus has been Matt driving the kids around and realizing how much time i don't have in the day by doing it.

Family Update

So we've moved.

We actually moved September 1st to a property where we are county instead of city.  I have my vary own farmville.  hahahah

The house is decent size, needs a little work (Matt's favorite) and is on a little over and acre lot.  It's really nice to have so much land for the dogs to run and the kids to ride the quads in the back when ever they want.  there are only 6 houses on our street and no room for more so it will always be nice and quite.

Thankfully my Father-n-law, and brother-n-law came over to help clean up the back with all the stumps and dead hay, it made such a difference when we got it half way cleaned up and can't wait till we get the rest done.

Then I'll have my own Garden (big one) and my stables and chickens.  Oh yeah, our neighbor is a friend and is giving us horses once we get our yard done their stables / corrals are built.  Yeah, we have so many trails to ride and horses are wonderful animals.  they are calming and soothing and you enjoy life so much when your riding, it helps take away the stress of everyday life for at least a little while.

so that's about it for the family update no additional big news.
