2 weeks


It's been 2 weeks since the last time I wrote and I feel like I should do a follow up for those who might care. First of all, I'm doing so much better now. I had no idea that a miscarriage and D&C procedure would put me out for almost a week. It hurt to walk and I had horrible migraines. I don't know what they did to me during that surgery, but I was definitely feeling it for the week after. Luckily, my mom came and stayed with us for a few days, which was a blessing and such a big help. I love you mom and thanks for taking care of me and my family. After my mom left I started to feel a lot better. The pain in my legs were a lot more bearable and I also had wonderful sisters from my ward bring me delicious dinners. I've been taking it easy, and now I'm able to work and continue with my gymnastics and cheer camps.

I always find it amazing to see the Lord's hand in my life. I really believe that I was being blessed during these last few weeks. My family and I were being watched out for and just the timing of it all couldn't have been any better. I'm grateful for what I know and believe in because without it I don't think I'd be able to see the blessings or feel the peace and happiness from this trial. Thank you for all your prayers in my behalf, I know Heavenly Father has heard them. It's different to be the one being prayed for, but also a testimony builder because I really felt it.

Next: get back in shape!!! finish cheer and gymnastic camps, then vacation to Vegas!
Goal: start running again, so I'm comfortable to run 10 miles. (can only run barely 3 right now)
Currently: Mason and I are taking an olympic weight lifting class together, it's only 4 classes, but it's something fun for Mase and I to do together.
