He Hears Me.....

I am sure everone is waiting in suspense on how everything is going with us. So not to disappoint anyone of my fans out there here it goes. I have started this post on Monday night and I am sure that it is going to take me awhile to finish because I can only type with one hand!

I went in for surgery last Thursday and the surgery went fine it was afterwards that was HORRIBLE. After the surgery in the recovery room I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. My head hurt really bad and my arm hurt really bad, they gave me morphine and I went back to sleep. The next time I woke up I was doing pretty good and after sitting there for a while I decided that I was well enough to go home. This was around 10:30 a.m. I got up and got dressed and then lost it. I got so sick. Every time I moved I would throw up. They gave me zofran, phenegran, food, percocets for my horrible headache and nothing made me feel any better. I thought that I was going to be stuck there in that hospital forever. I finally asked Josh to say a prayer with me and then we asked a nurse if she could find someone to come and give me a blessing. The guy that came ended up being the father to a girl that married a kid that grew up around the block from me. (It was Kelly Larsen's Father in law) He gave the most beautiful blessing. I sat there the whole time with the thought that I know that Heavenly Father can help me get better. In the prayer he said that Heavenly Father is aware of what I am going through and what both Josh and I are going through and he loves us and is there for us and that He loves us and is proud of us. It truly was a wonderful moment. After the prayer he was holding my hand and he said to me that he could feel Heavenly Father's spirit and that he could feel Heavenly Father's love for us and he wanted us to know how strong that love was. It was wonderful. After they left I knew that I could go home and that Heavenly Father would be by my side helping me. I didn't throw up again until we pulled into the driveway at home. I was so excited to get home to my kids. I was looking forward to having Lexi take care of me and to help me.

I am so glad that Josh was there to help me. I know that it was hard for him to be there at the hospital for so long because he hates hospitals, but he was awesome and I love him so much for being there and helping me out.

Pictures will be coming soon of my wrapped up arm.

I was so excited for conference this past weekend. I can't wait until the talks are on the website so that I can print them off even before the Ensign comes out. I really want to read Elder Ballard's talk again and I really want to read Elder Nelson's talk again. I know that each one of the talks were wonderful and they had great messages that I need to be reminded of over and over. I so wish that I had enjoyed conference this much when I was growing up the way I enjoy it now. I remember a seminary teacher so excited about conference and I thought he was crazy for being so enthused, but now I am the same way.

I have officially signed up for Women's Conference in May at BYU and my sister in law is letting me stay at her home so that I am able to attend.

One last fun thing before I go to bed is this......we were able to get tickets to go and see Stadium of Fire where we will be able to watch......MILEY CYRUS!!! Lexi is so excited. This is part of her birthday present and she is so happy. We were very lucky to be able to get tickets and shortly after we had purchased the tickets they were sold out.

You must be Lexi's hero! Miley Cyrus! My girls would kill for tickets for one of her concerts. I would definitely have someone else take them (just kidding, I guess she's o.k..)
