1 Year Down, a BAZILLION to Go.....

So, I know I said I was back, and I AM, but my hospital just blocked blogger! Argh. Things have been crazy around here - and I know I've said that too much lately - but don't give up on me! :)

First things first, September 21st was our 1 year wedding anniversary. We had a really nice weekend to celebrate. My husband wanted to crash a wedding at our reception location to celebrate - it would have been hilarious, but all I could think about was how much it cost a head for the person getting married! :) Instead, we went to a church service where our ceremony was held and out for brunch at J.Christopher's. My husband made homemade pizza for dinner and then we had our wedding cake top for dessert. Yeah, not as good the second time around.....
My husband did give me an anniversary gift that I certainly wasn't expecting....diamond earrings! I love them, and I haven't taken them off since. And what did I get him you ask? Yeah, a card! I should have known better, but we said we weren't going to do presents. We'd love to move to a bigger house soon, so I thought that we were watching our spending. Oops.

I have to admit, I've got the baby bug right now. How can I resist with all of the cute pregnant bloggers out there! :) I also have 3 girlfriends that are expecting, so it's everywhere. I'm going to try and ignore my maternal instincts for as long as I can! And besides, I can live vicariously through all of you! :)

And a thank you to Laura Stone of Artstar Photography. We still love our wedding pictures 1 year later, and will continue to do so for many, many years to come. You are truly the best and we feel so lucky to have had you be the one to capture our wedding day. xoxo

Where I've Been....La La Land

Sorry I have been MIA - I know, again- but I've been a little under the weather. For the past few months, I've been having terrible heartburn - which isn't all that strange since I have been treated for acid reflux for years now. I've been on all sorts of meds - prilosec, protonix, prevacid - none of which have been working lately. And I'm not overweight, I eat pretty healthy with exception to peanut butter M&M's and try to stay active. So I went to see a specialist a few weeks ago who told me it's not normal to be in good shape and 25 and have GERD. So she said I had to get an endoscopy! (Yeah, I didn't know what that was either).

So cut to yesterday, I had my endoscopy. I made it through the procedure, with a little bit of my pride still in tact. I was put to sleep with a moderate amount of demerol - nighty, night! My Mum tells me when I was still woozy I was cussing like a sailor - "I'm so f-ed up right now, Mum." Who says that to their Mum?!? Oops. :)

I found out that I don't have acid reflux necessarily. I have a hiatal hernia! I know, Eww! So does anyone know another person that has this condition too?
