Something different, or the same

As I sit here in front my beloved computer I put my feet up on the bars underneath my new and shiny glass desk. I contemplate. My day, my life, this blog. Occasionally I have dreams to make something more of it. All three of them, really. Acoustic music drones on in my right ear.

It reminds me of before. Of my brothers, Idaho, opportunities I should have made more of. Hindsight and my thoughts don't mix well. It only brings regret, and strangely, a desire to be back there.

Not really to fix it, more to just enjoy it. Because I did. I had those moments, those memories that drown me. And I want to be back there. Away from here. Away from this desire of more.

Not the weekend we planned

Warning: this is long, more of a journal entry.
Last weekend was not the weekend we planned. You see, on Saterday Hubs and I were going to lounge around all morning and go shopping in the afternoon, probably stopping by Crispers for a super yummy lunch. Then Hubs bro was going to come over and have a 'guys' night while I hide up in the bedroom watching Smallville. Nothing fancy but that's how we roll.

Then on Sunday I was going to teach my sweet spirit 4-6 year olds about the Holy Ghost. I had the whole lesson planned out and ready to go. I had props and a song and activities. It was going to be an awesome lesson! I even had it typed out and everything. After church we were going to come home and relax. Maybe watch a movie or tv together. And yes, I was probably going to watch more Smallville.


But instead... Hubs woke us up at 7:30 Saturday morning. He told me his heart was going too fast and it wasn't beating right. I placed me ear against his chest and the sound I hear was truly frightening. I didn't want to alarm him because I knew that would make it worse so we layed back in bed and I tried to calm him down. Calm him down I did, but not enough. So we decided to go to a walk-in clinic. I rushed to get dressed (didn't have time to shower - gross I know) and stuffed a purse with some essentials (water, Special K bars, a book) and out the door we went.

We got in to see a doctor rather quickly, yay, and once they hooked him to a million wires they confirmed that something was wrong with his heart. They had their suspicions and suggested he get checked out at the Hospital. That day. Via ambulance.

The ambulance came and drove him away. I followed in the car.

A Denison Whitmore was playing and I cryed like a baby. I wasn't really scared, but maybe I was. Thankfully the hospital wasn't too far away. Got out of the car and saw the ambulance there unloading my love. I watched and he looked over at me, saw me and smiled and waved.

They took him to the ER at first and got his heart back to normal. That afternoon/evening they him to the Hospital for further monitoring and tests. He stayed the night. They made me leave at 10pm. I came back at 7:30am and then at 4pm they let him go home.

Got home and cleaned up the house while he rested. Then his brother came over and they played a few games while I watch Smallville. Business as usual. It was weird. It's only been 28hours and it's like nothing happened. He is fine now, need to take it slow but he's fine, doesn't even have to take meds. except an aspirin. People keep asking if they can do anything for us, we have been blessed with awesome friends and family, and I say no. Cause it's true. Life is back to being our type of perfect!

It wasn't the weekend we planned but it could have been much worse and we are truly grateful.

I was in Heaven...

One of our good friends had a beautiful baby boy last week. They posted some pictures on facebook and Hubs and I looked at them together. When viewing one in which the baby had a confused look Hubs said as though talking for the baby, ""I was in Heaven, now I'm here. What's going on?"

It made me laugh and cry happy tears. I've always known that babies come from Heaven and I've heard mothers talk about the marvel of it many times. But when my lovely husband spoke those words, so casually, it was 'real'. When we are blessed with a child I want to remember that it just came from Heaven. I want to give it the best life possible and teach it all about where it came from.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S let's go Bananas!!!

In high school I took choir. I wasn't very good at singing but I loved to do it. I had the best teacher in the world, Dr. Lunt, and I got to sit next to my very best friend. Going to that class everyday was the best part of my day. I LOVED it.

Backstage before every preformance we did this little 'dance-chant' thing. I don't remember how it went but I do remember one line, "B-A-N-A-N-A-S let's go Bananas!!!" That line pops into my head at least once a week. It reminds me of the good times and I like it.


I also like this sign. The color and finish on it are great. It doesn't match my house decor at all or else I might have had to purchase it. Maybe a redesign is in order... Have you ever redesigned your house to match a work of art that you loved??
