{ such a cute little guy! }


{ such a great guy!}

We're gonna miss you Elder!!!

One year.

It's gone by so quickly! It's been a crazy year, a busy year,

but a great year.

One year since I married my best friend.

We spent the day before our anniversary up by Flaming Gorge 

{ who I lovingly call Flaming George }

If year one is any indicator, I know the rest of our

lives will be just as amazing.

 { my tummy is not as flat as it used to be... }
 

But no, friends, I am not pregnant. Just recovering from a surgery on Monday. Nothing serious, and I'm doing just fine. It was a laparoscopic surgery,so they pumped my stomach up with air which hasn't all been absorbed yet. Mr. Hercules and I have been laughing at how my huge stomach makes me look a little bit pregnant. Unfortunately, the pain in my shoulders from the air bubbles has been worse some times than the pain from the incisions.

But it's been a good week, with visits from friends and family, and beautiful flowers!











{ poor tummy }



{ this is how I've felt today }



{ but thanks to this guy, and my sweet little brother,
it's been a good week }


{ what the sick room looks like }

{ also, as the week has progressed, I have eaten a lot more
orange food [which I always eat when I am stressed or nervous]
it's actually kind of funny to observe }
