Surgery, Recovery, Week of hell!!

All is well in The Barras household!! I am slowly but surely getting back to my normal self! :] THANK GOD!! Here is a few things we have been up to since our last post!!

The first Boise Game!! Woot Woot!! We had a little get together at our house for the Boise game since we ARE huge fans!! Peyton's dad Will and his little brother Alex were able to come down and hang out for the night Ryan had a blast with them! I of course HAD to get Peyton all jacked up on suga so I have him all the oreo cookies his little heart could imagine.... well after that we had this...

Peyton showing off his break dancing moves!! It was HILARIOUS!!! I had no idea that this could come out of this boy! He is usually shy and reserved! Well of course Auntie loved it!! :]

That next day I had to go in for surgery on my poor tonsils!! I was so nervous Thursday I dont think I slept more then 3 hours! I was making myself SO sick to my tummy! Friday morning I woke up bright early hoping a hott shower would calm my nerves.. yeah I was wrong!!

Once we got into the surgical center my horrible thoughts were flying and I was seeing my life flash before my eyes!! As I was signing all the documentation like... please note this surgery may result in death, coma, blah blah. I told Ry just remeber I want to be cremated and PLEASE take good care of my puppies!! LOL Well after that was all finished they took us back to the room where I would get ready for surgery of course my sweet mother came along with us to make sure the doctor had the correct health history on me. As he asked 180943434 questions my mom knew the answers to all of them and some that came to a surprise to me! Well the doctor cleared me for surgery and I kissed my sweet mother goodbye and hugged my hubby like I was never going to see him again!

LOL I went into surgery at 9:45 and was awake and ready to go home by noon! My mom drove me home and made sure I was comfy while hubby ran to the grocery store for everything he thought we might need for the next week. Juice, capri sun, gatorade, go gurt, apple sauce, soup, popsicles up the wall. Well I was feeling pretty good just tired from all the drugs so Friday night I slept most of the night! Saturday I am pretty sure I was still on the anesthesia because oh boy was I ready to go out or what!! LOL My sweetest bestest girlfriend Vannessa brought me some gorgeous flowers and of course popsicles!! Later that night Lisa and her "FIANCE" Garrett came to see me and we took a little trip to Coldstone where I was feeling goooddd!! LOL I told everyone that the surgery was not near as bad as thought it would be! Ba ha ha oh man did I have a LONG road comin or what. Sunday I woke up as if I was hit and ran over a thousand times by a Mack truck!! My meds had worn off and I was in HELL!! I remeber Monday night just moaning and crying in Ryans arms! Poor guy didn't have sleep for a week. I have to shout out to my mom and sister who really pulled out for me and were there every single step of the way! My mom (Nurse Ratchet) was so good she was such a good help and checked on me every half hour to make sure everything was going okay. She babysat me from 7:30-4:00 when Ry would get off work and take over!  I DONT think I would have made it without her! My sister last but not least was a HUGE help and cleaned my kitchen and would lay with me and stay home with me while I was so down and out!  (She would even sneak me pain meds when my mom took them away because I had had enough ;] shh...) Through this surgery and week of hell Ryan and I have realized every single person that is there for us when we need them the most! ;] We cant thank you guys enough for EVERYTHING you did! I dont think I would have such a fast recovery if it wasn't for you your encouragement, support, and sympathy! I love you ALL!!

1 year anniversary!!

One year ago yesterday I married the man of my dreams! I can't believe its already been a year! Time flies.. Ryan Barras is the most amazing husband and caregiver I have ever met! My love for him is like anything else in this world! I just want to shout out to him and tell him  how lucky I am to have him by my side each and everyday. He always puts my needs before his own and never lets me go without. I know he would go to the end of the earth just go keep me happy! He does a damn good job at it! He never has anything mean to say about anyone and is always looking at the brighter things in life! I appreciate everything he has done and everything I know he will do. I look up to him in so many ways and know he grows into a better man and husband every day! He is my soul mate, best friend, confidant, the love of my love, and future baby daddy! I CANNOT wait for our journey ahead! Now on to our amazing weekend! Saturday morning we woke up and I surprised him with a manicure and pedicure at Skin Works in Sugahood. He wasn't too sure about the mani but he loved getting his feet done! We had lunch and went  home to get ready for a wedding, then that night we had the UFC Fights at our place on his new 52" television which he LOVES!! Then Sunday we had brunch at teh Grand America it was quite pricey $$$ but SO worth it!!

Then we rented some movies and had a VERY relazing afternoon at home! Then went to GoodWood bbq since Ry LOVES bbq and came home and dug into the top of our wedding cake! It was good just not as fresh as I remember!! 

Then today went up to Park City and rode the rides! All in all it has been an amazing weekend!! 1 down 60 more to go!! I am the luckiest girl ALIVE!!

Announcement

So since I have nailed this whole blogger thing I think that this deserves a blog! As most of you know Dean and Jessica are expecting!!! Which means I am going to be an AUNT!!! I am so excited for the both of them and Peyton! Jessica is like a sister to me and has been here for me through thick and thin. She is one of my best friends and a very good role model! I am so excited to be here with her through this whole pregnancy! Don't get me wrong I love Peyton as if he came out of my own va jay jay but I am just so excited to see this little one turn into the little beast I know it will be!! I know it will be a girl and if its not I am going to be damn surprised! Here is the first item I am working on... I know its soon but I am a perfectionist and the least creative person ever so I am going to need A LOT of time to work on this!

Its a diaper cake!

Since Jessica told me she was preggers I knew I wanted to make her one of these! I hear it is better to do it with cloth diapers so that is what I will do! (Plus the thought of unwrapped diapers grosses me out!) I am so excited to see Peyton with his new little sibling he is going to be an awesome big brother and such a big help to his mommy and Deano! Congrats guys we are very very happy for you! :] Can't wait for the journey and memories we have ahead! NOW... of to find a baby recorder! ;]

1st Surgery

As some of you already know I have been told by my ENT that I HAVE to get my tonsils removed!! AHHH!! Surgery? Me? Scariest thing possible.. Here is a few reasons as to why I am SO stressed out about it!

1) As a child I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy which basically means there is no known cause for why I have or have had seizures. I have experienced 3 severe Grand Mal seizures (however, i dont remeber them).

2) I am allergic to anestheisa. How or Why is still unkown.

3) The anestheisa I get for my surgery may bring my eplilepsy BACK!

I am so dang scared!! I do not want to put the burden of my seizures on my husband or any of my family members nor do I want to have an allergic reaction during the procedure and DIE!! I have so many scary thought going through my head and most of them I am sure are pretty silly!

Why do I have to get my tonsils out you say? Well if you have a weak stomach STOP reading NOW! If not enjoy! :]

I have what is called Tonsil Crypts other wise known as Tonsilloliths. Tonsil Crypts are small pockets that form on the outside of your tonsils. It’s these pockets or tonsil crypts that collect debris, like the mucus from nasal drip as well as food particles. When accumulated, this debris forms what is called tonsil stones. When all of this collects in the tonsil crypts, you will not only get symptoms as sore throat and a raspy voice, but also halitosis or bad breath! (So sorry honey!) So there you have it. My 1st and hopefully last surgery!! (Well for the exception of my new boobies!) Coming to you March 2010! LOL Hope you all enjoyed and I will be expecting flowers!

Updates on EVERYTHING!!

It has been way too long since I last blogged! Sorry! We are finally settled into our new place (i know i know its been almost 5 months) but my how time flies! We have everything in sort and just love having our own place to do what we want when we want!

Here is a pic of the front of the house since Ry has put his green thumb to it!

I dont think I ever thought our grass would be this green! I planted the blue planter full of daisies and my mom planet the brown ones for us! :] Thanks mom! Anyways.. as most of you know Ry gave me a puppy for my birthday! She is a really good dog but one day we had an incident because she gets so excited when we feed her in the morning, one morning I was feeding her and she did not see me put the food down into her bowl so as I was walking back inside she had the bright idea to hit the "food" out of my hand! I ended up tripping and barely hitting my elbow on the back door window. Well I slammed the door a little harder then I should have and well it ALL shattered to the ground! It was a disaster! Luckily we only had to wait on day till we could put a new one in! However, that one night we did have to wait it rained!!! OF COURSE!! So here is Ry's way of fixing that problem! GARBAGE BAGS!!!!!!! Luckily we were able to call my Auntie who works and central glass and she hooked us up with a new window!! :] So it is all fixed!! Next we have our new addition to the Barras Family! Gus Gus! He is our little pug/boston terrier also known as Hell Boy! I have never known such a puppy to be so cute and so sweet, yet the biggest trouble maker EVER!!!! Chewy and Gus are best friends and get along so well. After awhile of not being together they start to suffer from separation anxiety. It is quite pathetic if you ask me. They fight NON-STOP run up and down the hall ways and knock their heads on just about every surface of the house. Chewy usually grabs Gus' fat and Gus will grab Chews X-L big ears! They are our little babies and we love the crap out of them!! :] I think that is all the important stuff!! Stay tuned for more about Us and our Crazy Dogs!!

Learning!

I am trying to learn this whole blog thing so we can keep everyone in tune! Bear with me! :]
