Updates!!!

It has been way too long since I last blogged and there have been some changes in our lives since August. I'm not sure where to even start, so I'll try to go in order I guess. Warning: this will be long. :)



On Sept 3rd my super cute nephew, Briggs Matthew Wright, was born. I won't go into all the details of her delivery. I'll just say it was not a fun and easy one for Heather, and it was a long day for everyone there. It started on the morning of Sept 2nd and ended just after midnight. My brother, her mom, and I were the ones there when he was born and it was amazing. He had some troubles and spent a few hours in the NICU, but has been great ever since. I'm lucky to live so close to them. I've been nicknamed his "saver" by Kylee because they seem to think I can always keep him from crying. He's able to focus his eyes on people now and is smiling a lot now too!! Last night he looked adorable in his Halloween outfit.

Caught him sucking his thumb. It was cute.

Scott and I watched a movie with Matt and Heather and Briggs slept on my chest through it all. So cute.

NEXT- I went to my doctor to follow up on my hypothyroidism and I still wasn't feeling that great yet. Turns out that my levels were now high from my medication dosage so I should have had lots of energy. Since I wasn't he decided to do some more bloodwork and it turns out I'm also anemic. So he's put me on a iron supplement and lowered my thyroid medication. It's been 6 weeks since then and I have been feeling great. I go in this week for another blood draw for my thyroid and again 6 weeks after that for my iron. Fortunatley my doctor is allowing me to have my lab work charged to his account and paying what he would for them. So that is saving us HUNDREDS of dollars since we don't have insurance. Lucky I used to work for him!!!

On Sept 29th I started a new job at Dry Creek Dental, in Lehi. It's nice to be at one office full time now and it's a great office! The doctor is a very good dentist and I really like the girls I work with. It was hard to leave the oral surgeon's office since I really like the job and the people that I worked with. But circumstances there made it harder for me to stay. However, it wasn't hard to leave the dental office I worked for. Overall, I feel like I made the right choice and it's been a good move for me.

I bought a used sewing machine a little while ago, which I've been wanting to get for about a year now. Since I didn't really didn't know how to use it I took a sewing fundamentals class and Heather took it with me. I learned how to do quite a bit of basic stuff with my machine and I loved it. So my first project was curtains! I started with curtains for my kitchen and then made some for my living room and I love how both of them turned out. I can't wait to start my next sewing project.









A couple weeks ago I was really bored with my hair. It's gotten really long and the only thing I was doing anymore was pulling it back. So I decided to cut it. I took off quite a bit and I really like it.



But recently there has been something that has happened that has been truly amazing! My mother has been married to my step dad, Tom, since I was in 5th grade. He joined the LDS church about 5 or 6 years ago. They've been working on being able to be sealed to each other. Well, just a little bit ago they received a letter from the presidency of the church granting them permission to be sealed!!!! That's just so amazing to me and I'm extremely happy about it. They are making plans to be sealed in the Columbia River Temple in Washington. Congratulations Momo and Popo!!!



I hope this wasn't too long for everybody. I'll be better at keeping up with it. Love you all!!
