Waiting for Results

Yesterday I went to McCune Brooks Hospital in Carthage, MO for my ultrasounds. I've driven by it a few times, but this was my first time inside and I was pretty impressed. It's very new and seems more like a hotel rather than a hospital. Everyone I came in contact with was over-the-top friendly and helpful. They even have escorts that walk everyone to where they need to go. It's the small things like that that help take away the stress. Anyway, I've had these types of ultrasounds done before and it really wasn't bad at all this time. I was much more relaxed than the first time I had them done. I talked with the guy running the ultrasound machine and asked if I could watch the screen. He let me and he described what they were looking for, but he couldn't tell me what they were finding...the doctors have to be the ones that do the reports. I tried to look for the 'black circles,' but I really have no clue what I was looking at. I seriously don't know how anyone is able to read that thing. It just looks like static on a black and white tv. Oh well. They said my doctor would call me soon with the results. I didn't get a phone call today, but hopefully I will tomorrow. I don't really think it's any big deal because I'm not really in any pain or anything. Hopefully it's just something that will go away on it's own. I have several small cysts, and they said that's perfectly fine. It's just a problem when they get too big. That's all I know for now. :)

Pumpkin Decor

I'm totally not creative, but I'm good at following directions. Most of the things I create are inspired by something else I've seen. This was my first fall project...


It was really pretty simple. I bought a variety of cheap pumpkins and just spray painted them silver. I have them scattered all throughout the house. It doesn't matter what they're made of. I just bought whatever was on sale. Some are wood, others are foam, and a few are ceramic. Once you spray paint them, you really can't tell the difference.

Doctor's Appointment

Let me just say, it's awesome to have great friends that I can count on to pray for me. I am so blessed! For those of you that I didn't get to talk to, here's the update:
The doctor felt a cyst on my right ovary today...I felt it too once she started pressing on it. She scheduled me for two ultrasounds in the morning. One on the inside and one on the outside. Once they get a better look at it, then they'll decide what they need to do. This isn't really a shock. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). I've never had a problem with it other than being irregular...until now. I really love my doctor. She's very comforting and explains things in a way that I can understand what she's talking about. She doesn't rush off, but stays and answers any questions I have. For that, I'm very thankful.

Reasons for Going Private

So I just changed my settings to 'private' instead of 'open to all.' Hopefully I didn't leave anyone off of the invite email. It wasn't intentional if I did. I want my friends and family to have full access. I really don't have any secrets or anything, it just weirds me out that total strangers know stuff about me. I want to post pictures of my house and write about everything that's going on without worrying about some creep-o being able to read it.

Bikes, Blues, & BBQ

Chad and I were able to sneak away to Fayetteville, AR for a few hours on Saturday. We took his bike and I had someone take a picture of us riding...


...just kidding mom! We did ride down there and back though and man was it a cold ride home. These are some pics from one of the stunt shows.

test

I've done a terrible job of updating my blog, I know. I'm not going to make any promises that that's going to change. Sometimes it's just hard to keep up with everything. However, I found this app today and thought I'd test it out. So this is a test...and here's a picture of one of my favorite moments this summer :)
