THIA Yumm!

Dave and I have decided this is our favorite home made meal......

Thai Curry

My AMAZING mother in law taught me to make this last Christmas. We have been making it at least every month and make enough of it for quite a few left over meals.

When I was cooking this on Sunday Dave kept calling me a 4 burner wife

like johnny lingo's "8 cow wife"hehe

Yuuuummmmmmmmmm!!!

facing my emotions

I'm making this post today for those of you who have gone through a loss like this.

I hope it can help in some way.

Yesterday I had a doctors appointment to get my hormone levels checked and set up another ultrasound to make sure that nothing is still in there that shouldn't be. Before I was about to get up and leave my doctor asked me how I was doing emotionally and I suprised myself and began balling before I could even answer him....

and after a long talk we agreed I should see a pshycologist.

I think I am a happy person and have so much to be happy for and want to be happy all of the time and because of that

I don't think I have let myself go through the grieving process fully of having a miscarriage in my second trimester. I have only let out my emotions a little bit at a time then put them away and put on a happy face for the rest of my days.

Its been a month now, which seems like forever but then somedays like no time at all.

So today I faced my emotions head on.

I had my meeting with the phsycologist and I'm glad to say it helped so much.

It was relieving to have someone to lay it all out on the table with and help me sort through what I'm feeling.

someone who had a fresh look at the situation and wasn't wrapped up emotionally like family and friends are.

and yes I went through a whole box of kleenex in 1 hour.

I learned that I hate to "rain on peoples parades", and because there are so many wonderful things going on in my life to people whom I love so much I have pushed my feelings aside so that I could enjoy those happy moments with them.

....I can be happy and excited for others but still need to deal with what I'm going through.

We talked a lot about....

you can be sad and greatful at the same time

it's okay to be sad

It's healthy to grieve

what to do when I feel sad

***give it time***

and numerous other things that are personal to what I went through.

So yes I am heartbroken still and am learning how to deal with it still....but I am greatful for my testimony always and today for this.....

Yesterday DAVE opened his second med school acceptance letter to Kanas City.

That makes 2 schools now we can go to and there are even more interviews and acceptances to come I'm sure.

My husband makes me happy/proud always....no matter the circumstances.

And one day he will be the bestest dad ever!

Mindy Gledhill, I feel like I'm in a happy dream when I listen to her music

SUPER SEASON

byu vs. unlv

Dear Megan,

Welcome to a little thing we like to call SUPER SEASON....When Football season and Basketball season at BYU overlap and your adorable husband asks you to go to all of the home games with him, and you can't say no. Yes, it just so happens that this week that means...BYU Basketball game friday night, a ward football scrimmage in the morning and a BYU football game saturday afternoon. It's a good thing your husband is such a stud and you have so much fun cheering at the top of your lungs with him and dancing to the blaring music. SUPER SEASON....we love you, but don't make me loose my voice please.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO COUGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sincerely,

the wife of a very happy sports fan named Dave

we are cherishing our last season with our all sports passes before we leave to med school...

to say the least!

not a bitter betty

I threw a joint baby shower for my two wonderfully prego girlfriends this saturday! I am so excited for them to be mothers and raise little BYU football players. During Sunday's church meeting Dave and I played with with our little friend abby....she's the one in the black jump suite in the front row. And as she slept in Dave's arms the second half (after her parents helped her fall asleep)I thought to myself....I'm so greatful I am not bitter towards those who get to be mothers sooner than me. ( I see that happen too often ) If anything this expirience has made me more happy for those who have success with their pregnancies and get to bring cute little chubby playmates for Dave and I.
