Some things that I am loving and wanting to make on my own as I can't afford their price tags on JCrew!!!

Race Time!!!!!!

The time has finally arrived. Mike's first Kart race of the season. He is so excited and so am I. For those of you who don't know, Mike and his brother Cameron race go karts at Miller Motor Sports Park in Toole. Racing is his passion and I love to watch him. He enjoys it so much. He is supportive of everything that I do, so it is good for me to get to help him out anyway I can. Granted I don't know very much about go karts, but I'm learning. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my weekend, than with Mike and a little dirt and grease:)

One Year!!!

Mike and I have made it one year!!! This past year has gone by so fast. I am so gratful for Mike and all that he does for me. I don't quite know where I would be if it wasn't for him. He is my strength that gets me through each and everyday. I love him so much and couldn't ask for a better, more loving husband. He teaches me by his example everyday. I know how much he loves the gospel and what a strong testimony he has. We are a truly blessed family and I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with him.

We didn't get to do much for our anniversary, unfortunately Mike has Mono. He is on the uphill battle, but he is still so tired. Maybe this next couple of weeks we will be able to go do something fun.

Life couldn't be better, well maybe it could, but life is good. Mike's dad is home and doing really good. He still gets really tired but at least he is able to be home and get back to his normal life. The month of May is birthday month. My sister Heather, Natalie, my mom, and Mike's brother Cameron. So gratful for our families. They help us in so many ways and we love them all so much!!!

Summer is fast approaching and Mike hasn't been able to race his Go-Kart yet. I feel so bad, that is what he loves to do. Hopefully soon we can get him out there racing. I love summer and being able to do so many fun things. This summer I'm hoping to be able to go to Bear Lake a ton, get some camping in, and maybe so road trips. We will see what the summer brings. For now Mike and I are just glad to be done with another semester of school and be able to relax for the summer.

Update and Projects

Thought I would just do an update about the pops in law. On Monday Scott had a heart pump put in. It is an open heart type surgery where the doctors connect the pump the his left ventricle. He no longer has a pulse, crazy huh. Anyways, everything went better than planned. On tuesday they had him up and walking, which is crazy to me, but the sooner the better. Needless to say he was worn out today. It is going to be a long long road, but we have already been blessed so much from our Heavenly Father and I feel that it is all going to work out perfectly. We all just keep praying for the best.

I finally took some pictures of the projects that I have been doing while I am a widow at night. Those of you who don't know, Mike works swing shift, so I am alone at night and get bored. I have resorted to crafting. Here are some of my attempts.

Very Long Overdue

I'm sorry that I am so bad at blogging. I just have all the links to my friends and my crafty blogs that I forget that I need to update mine too.

What has happened since the last time I posted. Alot actually, but how do I fit it all in. Well lets start with Mike and I. We just hit our 10 month mark, exciting. We are still loving being married. We really wish that we could see more of each other, but I try to keep myself busy doing crafts and sewing and such things. Needless to say I eat alot and go out to my parents alot. They sure are great to let me use their washer and dryer though. Thanks mom! Mike and I got back from vegas the first of the month. We went down the the nascar race, Mike is a big, big race fan. We also went and saw the World of Outlaws. So much fun. I got dirt in places that I never new that I could get dirt. While in Vegas we went to the wax museum and shopping, didn't have much time for anything else though. Just a weekend getaway. We were actually the guests of the day that the Hilton Garden Inn that we stayed at. That was exciting. We got a bag full of goodies.

Some not such good news. Mike's dad has been in and out of the University of Utah Hospital with heart troubles. Just before Valentine's Day Mike's mom called us and asked if we would go check on Mike's dad. He had pneumonia for a month and just wasn't getting better. We get there and he is not looking good at all. We drove him down to Ogden Regional. We found out there that his heart was only working at 10% and his blood pressure was throught the roof trying to compensate. He was life flighted down to U of U were his heart doctors were. He is home now, they put a defibulator on his chest that will give him a shock if his heart changes its beats. They are planning on putting a pump in him that will give him a constant pump, which means that he will no longer have a pulse. Weird to me, but if it will help keep him with us until he can get a heart transplate then it will be worth it. He has been so strong through all of this. Mike's mom is just amazingly strong and courageous. I don't know how I would deal with all of this.

Having this happen has made the family come together so much. We have all realized how important family is and not to take anything for granted. I love Mike so much and am so proud of everything that he does the help his family.

I guess that it is all for now. I will try to be better and post some pictures of our trip and my family. My neices and nephews are growing so big.

Raegan Arlene Glenn

On Tuesday we welcomed a new addition to the family. My brother Mark and his wife Natalie had a little girl. She weighed in at 7lbs 9oz and 19 inches long. Everyone said that she is mini me. She definitely looks like a Glenn. Raegan is a very beautiful baby that is the miracle to our family. Mark and Natalie didn't think that they could get pregnant, so two years ago they adopted a little boy, Rieker. Then just before Christmas they found out that Natalie was pregnant. We were all so excited and she was our Christmas miracle. Natalie was kind of a high risk pregnancy, so she was monitored a lot through out. Her blood pressure was a little high and they decided to check her into to start having the baby on Monday. They inducecd her and tuesday morning they had her start pushing. Natalie pushed for about and hour and a half and Dr. Kirkman said that their was no wayt he Raegan's shoulders were going to fit so they took her for a C-section. Natalie is very sore and tired, but all is well for both.

Things are going great for Michael and I. We love being married!! We don't see much of each other. I work from 8-5 and her works 2-10. We get lunch and dinner together, but that's about it. Needless to say that we don't leave each others side during the weekend. It won't be forever so I guess we are just dealing with it. Not that we like though.
