HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! I AM 23!!!! YEAH!!!
For my birthday Damon and I went to a really nice dinner and a movie. I actually had to work a 12 hour shift on my birthday at the hospital, and Damon showed up unexpectedly and brought me flowers! What a good husband!
One of my favorite people in the world got married in June! Damon and me made the trip down to Sedona for Lauren and Ty's Johnsons Wedding, and everything including the bride looked beautiful! Sedona is such a beautiful place.
(besides the fact that we got stuck on the I-17 for 3 hours, due to a crash that closed the freeway down! WE had a blast!)
Fourth of July was so fun!
We headed up to Snowflake and then to Heber for the fireworks! Like always they were awesome, and I was so excited that my family got to come up to Damons Dads house and stay for the night. We had such a good weekend!
If anyone can believe it my BABY sister Chandler turned 15!
We had a really fun day celebrating. Shopping, Cheese Cake Factory, and then cake and icecream and my Parents! I can not believe she's gonna be a Sophmore at Westwood next week! CRAZY!
My grandpa Gardner hasnt been feeling well lately.
We though it would be a good idea to have family pictures taken with the whole family "just in case". The bad idea was that it was the middle of July and SO FREAKIN HOTT OUTSIDE!

My Grandma DeWitts Headstone finally went up! It was so sweet to see my Grandpa see it for the first time...
It was so sad to see him cry...
Her headstone is really nice. The back of it list all of their childrens names.
I love that picture of my grandparents
So the last thing that has been going on in mine and Damons life is that we got to annouce that we were pregnant, and then annouce that we miscarried. So just so I can put rumors to rest, we definately were pregnant, but are definately NOT pregnant now.
This has been one of the craziest things I've ever been through!
Heres the story:
So we found out that we were pregnant at about 5 weeks and by week 6 I had started to misscarry. We had a Doctors apt about three days after I had started to bleed, and my Doctor had acted like the bleeding was no big deal. He said that bleeding happened with some women in the first trimester, and that some women even get their periods the first couple of months they were pregnant. So he dismissed it until he decided to do an ultrasound (which he couldnt see anything on) and then do the usual blood work.
Well all of this was on Monday, and Tuesday I should have got my blood test results, but of course the dr. office couldnt find my lab work. So Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from the medical Assistant stating that my lab results were in and it looks like my HCG hormone level was too low for me to be pregnant. So I took the news as best I could and called Damon. We were both said but decided to make the best of it. Well about an hour later, I get another phone call from the medical assistant saying that they had read my results WRONG and that I WAS pregnant that my HCG hormone level was at a 560. (for those of you who dont know, an average level is about 100-400 when you are 5 to 6 weeks pregnant). So once again I called Damon, (this time crying) and said were PREGNANT, they read my results wrong! So that same day I went back into the Dr office to have my 48 hr re-draw to make sure that my HCG levels were headed in the right direction. Well as you probably know they didnt go up.. They dropped to a 450, and then 5 days later they dropped to a 220. So two doctor vists, 3 lab draws, 2 ultra sounds, and our excited families, and basically no baby..
This whole thing has been SUCH a ROLLERCOASTER! That week of blood work, dr visits, and being pregnant and then not being pregnant was SO NOT FUN (not to mention the horrible cramping and bleeding)...
But Damon and Me are trying to be positive and take it for what it is. Hope fully we will be pregnant soon, but for now its just gonna be the two of us..
(this was my pregnancy test when we first found out, we took pictures to tell our families)
