my tonsils

So for the last two weeks I've been fighting with my tonsils trying to get them to not be swollen. I have tonsillitis for 2 weeks now. I did 5 days of prescription last week and now I'm starting another one tomorrow. This one is a pill I take 3 times a day for 7 days. Hopefully that will kick the infection and my tonsils will get back down to normal. I went into the doctor's office thinking that I was going to be leaving with a scheduled tonsillectomy for later this week. When the doctor told me that I was going to be getting more medication and not making an appointment with a surgeon, I wasn't sure if this was good news or bad news. I want them out so they are finally out of my way and I won't have to worry about having this pain again... I hate it. It's kicking my butt. So we'll have to see how this week goes.

okay we're going to try this for real now

So i have had this blog for a really long time and never have taken the time to update it or anything... so here we go. :)

We have been out here in AZ since November of 2002. We love it here! We're still Kentucky kids but definitely love Arizona. We still own more UK Wildcat shirts then ASU Sundevils shirts.

Dad is working at a place that remodels Mini Vans to make them wheelchair accessible. He's been there for a few weeks now and is loving it!

Mom is still doing the whole dental assistant thing and is really good friends with the girls at work.

I am starting my second year of college. I'm attending Mesa Community College right now, I wanted to get some of my generals done and then transfer to ASU or U of A. I want to major in either Speech Pathology or ASL Interpreting. Sign language has been the best thing ever! I love learning and signing. I am working at an online scrapbook store. I've been there for a little over 3 years!! It's been so much fun! I'm an "adopted" daughter to my boss, Shari Tate and her family. I love working there alot!

Dallas is 16 and getting ready to start his junior year at Highland High School. He's so excited! No
football this year but he's in the Concert Choir!! I'm so proud of him! Concert Choir is the MoTab of high school choirs. :) they do awesome stuff. He's still looking for a job so he can finally get driving! So weird to think he's old enough for that stuff... But he is!

For those of you that knew Marsh, we lost her back in October of 2009. She passes a week before my birthday, which would've been our 13th year having her in our home. She is greatly missed and always will be. She was truly an amazing and wonderful dog. We'll have a very difficult time finding one that's close to how she was.
