Today Craig went with me to the doctor's office for follow up to my surgery and he told me that I could go back to work today. I was really excited especially because last week I received a promotion to being our main HR person and I will still do training for the front of the store (cashiers, baggers etc)
I am really excited to go to work because day time TV is lame when you only have basic digital channels and Michael Jackson has been the only thing on the tube for the past three days. (I'm not a Michael hater I just wanted there to be something else on TV...selfish I know)
This is a diagram of where the evil appendix is located. Yesterday I was experiencing pain and I just thought it was cramps. As the evening progressed I ended up laying on the couch crying due to the pain. (It is amazing how the pain quickly escalates) Craig and my dad gave me a blessing and then we ended up going to the emergency room at 1 am. A few tests and hours later I now have three small incisions and a missing appendix. The doctor said that he was surprised that my appendix didn't rupture as it was 5-6 times the normal size! I am really grateful for the blessing I received and how it was a great source of sustenance throughout being in the hospital. The lamest part is that I can't go back to work until MONDAY! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! Aurgh!Thanks to all of my friends and family that came and visited me! I really appreciated it. If anyone wants to be my couch buddy while Craig is at work the rest of the week just let me know :-)
Today we were able to have a day off together and via Hulu we were able to catch up on 'Bones' Season 1 which was really fun. Also my mom gave us her leftover tickets to the cache valley parade of homes and we saw a really beautiful home in Millville. This home had beautiful tile inlay in almost every room of the house. Tonight for dinner we had Craig's cousin and his girlfriend drive up from Fillmore to come visit. I think that this was among the highlights of our day...especially because we played Mario Party 8 and I won! (okay well Craig and I won. Due to having a defective controller we had to be on the same team)
CALLING ALL SCENTSY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS: Does anyone out there sell scentsy?!?!?!??!! I ran out of my favorite scent and would like to buy some more but no one I know is having a party or sells the delightful stuff. If anyone is selling or hosting a party let me know ASAP!
I am really excited that tomorrow Craig and I both have a day off! Things at work have been pretty hectic as I am training to help take over the HR position at Maceys. I am really loving work even though it is busy! I think that tomorrow we are definitely planning on sleeping in and having some time for R & R.
This weekend I also have a weekend photography business seminar which I am really excited for! After that check out my blog for same great photography offers. Let me know if you are interested in family pictures, children/newborn, weddings etc. I am working on putting up a portfolio for you to look at and then hopefully go from there.
Since all posts are better with a picture this from some bridals I did earlier this year. Thanks Kaylene!

Craig and I have been married for a little over 2 years. When we aren't working or going to school we like to play 'Lost Cities', cook together, go for walks, watch movies and eat ice cream. We have a pretty low key life. One day we'd like to have a family. For now I have a camera. :-) If you are interested in checking out my photography site please visit www.belindaolsen.com I specialize in newborn, toddler, children and family photography.
