Quirky Caaaaarrrazyness

So I have always known me and Ben have our silly little quirks but they have become more apparent this last week. Ben gets super spastic and hyper mostly when I'm not feeling good or having a bad day. He says its to make me smile and feel good but I think its just cuz he likes it when I'm not happy. Like right now he just did the Jaws themesong while leaning across me to steal a sip of pepsi. Usually he'll just skip and run around the room making a bunch of random noises. I also noticed Facebook is the worst invention ever for me. I have become addicted to playing Facebook games and trying to beat all my friend's high scores and having that number one spot. Don't go and play them and beat my score just cuz I said that I swear I'll go crazy and won't sleep till I beat you. Its not so much I like being competitive I just love the challenge of trying to beat it. Especially Frontierville. I quit playing mine because my friends won't send me anything and have started playing on Ben's. He has one friend who is 20 levels ahead of him, and I have been trying really hard to gain enough levels to pass her.  Also I never know how to end blogs so if it seems like I'm leaving mid thought...I'm not I just ran out of stuff to say.

Holiday Thrills and Hospital Bills

So a lot has happened the last couple of days. We received the hospital bill from my surgery about 2 weeks ago, and it ended up being twice as much as we thought it would be because they ended up finding a wall in my uterus. They noticed that one side of my uterus is larger than the other, and they ended up doing an ultrasound and noticed the wall. They then had to pump dye through my uterus to make sure it worked properly. Everything is fine just a random wall in my uterus. So we've been on the phone with the hospital, anesthesiologist , and radiology department making sure they had everything they needed to get us on a sliding fee. It felt like we were basically faxing in our entire life to them. After calling back multiple times and each time getting told we were still waiting on the papers to get back from Seattle we finally got told that we had qualified for a 100% discount from the hospital and our bill is now $0. We are still waiting for the paper to come in the mail from the hospital saying that we received the discount so we can fax it into the radiology and anesthesiologist, but it lifted a huge amount of stress off of us. For once in our lives it finally paid to be poor. Our roommates have also had a very bad effect on us. They all love Christmas as much as me and Ben do and our Christmas tree got put up today. Christmas music has been playing for about a week now, and we are starting to watch Christmas movies. I have also been in an arts and crafts mood with Christmas and have found a bunch of cute ideas for decorations so we'll see how they turn out.


So here is my first craft.

Amazing People

Lately I've been kinda grumpy. Things are going exactly how I want them to. They aren't going bad they just aren't how I would like them. On top of that my body has decided it hates me and doesn't like sleep especially at night. I haven't been me which is understandable with everything that is going on. With everything going on I haven't realized just how amazing Ben has been the last couple of days. He always knows when I just need a hug or to hear him say I love you.  He lets me be lazy because I'm wore out from the lack of sleep and the stress, and he doesn't get upset if I get grumpy and snap. Whether it is at him or the computer or whatever. I also have never fully realized just how amazing my cousin Heather is. She took our engagement pictures and she made sure we looked absolutely perfect. She also helped me get our blog looking cute because  I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing on here. I know now how my grandma felt when she was trying to figure out the satellite TV.  She also always knows how to get me to talk about whatever is bugging me even when I don't want to and makes it all better. I never realize just how amazing people are, and I never give them enough credit. I am trying to be better at appreciating people more.
