Bear Lake

So a few weekends ago Joe and I headed up to Bear Lake for the Preston Family Reunion. We had such a blast with the whole family. Only a few people weren't able to go. Sam just got off the phone giving his Dad directions to our picture stop. Notice Renae is crying it was so funny. It was one of those you had to be there moments

Since Joe and I don't have any children we had lots of fun holding everyone children.

What would a trip to Bear Lake be without the Famous RASPBERRY shakes?

Everyone in the family made Tie-dye shirts. It was so fun!

Update

I haven't updated for a while about my heart so I thought I probably should.
A few weeks ago Joe and I were again at another Dr Apt. My doctor decided that the best thing for my heart would be to do another Ablation. We have it scheduled for Sept 18th. So if you can keep us in your prayers. We are really hoping this ablation works!

1st Day of School

Joe had his first day of Law School today! I felt like the proudest person ever as he was getting ready for school this morning. In the Richards Family our tradition was to take a picture in front of the house door on our first day of school, now Joe and I can carry on the tradition. I love you Joe! You are going to make the best lawyer!

You have to try this

So if you know me then you know that I have an obsession with jeans. I love jeans like a fat kid loves ice cream. I once counted them up and it was embarrassing.

I'm always looking for a good pair of jeans and I ran across these bad boys.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret.These jeans are made of the same designer denim that 7's, True Religion, Citizen etc. are made of, except they are made at the GAP price. (59.50-69.50)

When I would come home from work before these came out I would change right out of my GAP jeans. Now I stay in them and would sleep in them if Joe would let me. GAP completely redesigned their jeans and they don't sag in weird areas, they keep their shape and they don't shrink or stretch.

Seriously you will love them! I'm obsessed with them.

Amazing!!!

So yesterday I had a doctors appointment. They did an EKG and quickly found out I was still out of rhythm and so the decision was made to cardiovert me (shock my heart). So things quickly moved in to place and before I knew it they had an IV started within minutes.

Good news! They only cardioverted my heart once and it went into rhythm and it stayed in rhythm for another hour that I was still in the hospital. And this morning while I was listening to my heart with my stethoscope it was still in rhythm!!!

Thanks for alll the prayers! I know my doctor is good, but I know there is a higher power involved.

Please keep praying that my heart will stay in rhythm!

BYU LAW

Sarah and I will be staying in Provo for 3 more years! I got a call from the Dean of Admissions this morning offering me a place at BYU Law school!!

I look forward to having my heart broken for 3 more years by BYU football. I look forward to trying to win intramural championship T-shirts, and most of all not being away from my wife.

We will get to stay in our house. We are excited to stay in nursery and our activities committee calling. We are really excited about being around a lot of our friends and family! It looks like I'll get to be a Cougar again!

A little unexpected

So today I went in to the Doctor for a quick appointment. They told me to come fasting just in case they needed to do anything. I went expecting the worst to be another TEE with cardioversion. (and having them weigh me, I hate knowing that number)

This is how the conversation went

Doctor: "So it looks like you I won't be needing another TEE and cardioversion quite yet."
Me: "Really! That is GREAT! I was preparing myself for the worst, so this is great!"
Doctor: "Well...We will be changing up your medication to something stronger."
Me: "Perfect! What is it?"
Doctor: "Tikocyn, The bad news is, you will need to be in the hospital for 3 days so we can monitor you because the drug has some possibly dangerous side effects, and we will need to monitor you closely."
Me: "Oh"


So it looks like I'll be here for a while. Hopefully this drug treatment will be effective and my heart will cooperate. Please keep me in your prayers!
