Christmas Pictures

I think I took about 500 pictures.. so i just decided to post a few!

CHRISTMAS AT THE HAWLEY HOUSE

This year it was a little crowded Mom, Dad, Me & Brian, Morgan & Valerie, Hillary & James, Claire, and Katie...wait my grandma Zola was here a lot too! That is a lot of people to squeeze into my parents house. It was fun to have my brother and his wife Val here it was their first Christmas with us since they got married. I loved having the family all together! We all had so much fun! I was a little worried that my family would be too much fun and excitement for Brian but he handed them with ease! On a more shocking note my family likes him! I think this is a first for the Hawley’s usually at least one-person hates who I am dating. Yes! There have been times when they all hated who I was dating. (Maybe some of you remember this) I was very relived that Brian fit in so well since I plan on keeping him around! My favorite part of him being there was the day we went and looked at sparkly jewelry, the kind that goes on your left ring finger!! He is being sneaky and will not tell me when it will be made or when he will get it! I am very excited and I think is pretty romantic that he want is to be a surprise!

Life's Lessons

Here are a couple of things I learned this past week while dealing with my foot surgery.


1. I didn't know I could miss someone so much! My mom has been a huge help and so have all of my friends but I just keep asking for Brian. When I was coming to after the operation I just asked the nurses over and over if Brian was there. Ha Ha! I’m pretty much a sucker for him!



2. Your hip is an important joint! Mine has been immobile and is now missing chunks of bone. Yeah It HURTS!

3. When the doctor tells you will want a nerve block believe him. It was the best; it numbed my foot pain for the first 24 hours.

4. I could never be addicted to pin pills I loathe taking them and how they make me feel.

5. When the doc says they are going to rebuild your foot they mean it ...not only will the x-rays look like something you haven’t seen but it will feel like they just cut yours off and put someone else’s on there for you.

I will stop complaining now. Sorry I had to vent a little I have been in the worst pain I have ever felt. I am so thankful for my friends and family who have tried so hard to cheer me up. I am pretty lucky to have such a loving fan club.

Surgery

Next Wednesday I am having foot surgery. I got in a car accident 9 years ago and as a result my ankle is fused. It always hurt a little but recently that changed. I was on a date a month or two ago and took a step, I yelped, almost fell over, and then cried. I could handle the pain but the embarrassment of squealing from the pain in public not a chance. I made an appointment the next day. When I went in the Doc said he could fix it but he had only done similar surgeries a hand full of times (as if I m not nervous enough!). We scheduled for December 12th. It is rapidly approaching and I am franticly trying to pull together sub plans for 13 days of school, I wont be back until January 11th.

I am sure you are fascinated and want to find out what they are doing when they bust out the power tools in the O.R. Here is the list!

1. They are cutting off my heel
2. They are cutting threw the bone in the joint that was fused when I was 17.
3. They are cutting 2 cm of bone out of my hip
4. They are taking my hip bone and sticking it in my ankle joint
5. They are fusing it, this means they are screwing it all together until the bones heal and the joint won’t move.
6. They screw my heel back on.

I am pretty much scared to death. It is going to hurt like HELL! I am going to be in a wheel chair for 6 to 8 weeks not to fun! I goggled images to find some pictures but they were all very scary. So that is the only other eventful thing going on in my life, well other than my whole falling for Brian thing!

Thanksgiving

Ok I have been MIA. I have a great excuse well kind of! Thanks to Heidi and Shauna I have been glued to my phone. This next statement may be a shocker but I think I am hanging up my player shoes. Ok I have and I am loving it! It is true. Pick up your jaw and keep reading. I am so excited this. Brian and I spent Thanksgiving together in Jackson Hole with his family (his family is so much fun) and it was perfect! I don’t think either of us has stopped smiling since picked him up at the airport. Next he is coming to Glendale for Christmas (this is new for me so... ADVICE? )

I wont ever get used to it...

It is only 50 degrees here and I am already homesick for a warm beach. Just wait till it is 10 below then I will be jonesing for the beach so so so BAD!
