My little brothers wedding

My little brother got married on Friday! They were both so happy! Here are some pictures with the highlights....My little niece Jane thought the wedding party was for her and spent the night exploring, she is adorable. I love the picture on top of the whole family, we are growing so fast!

Congrats Scott and Emily!

Now our family has got practice for my sister Suzannes wedding in 3 weeks! The best part of a summer full of weddings is that my brother Jeff is in town and we have been able to spend so much time with him!

Before/After

So my aunt Harriet gave me this chair and ottoman when she was doing some cleaning at her house. It is amazingly comfortable, and would be a great rocking chair for a baby room some day, but it doesn't match our furniture that we currently have, so I decided that I would try my hand at a slip cover project. It took way too long, but I am pleased with how it turned out.

After

Joe told me he was very proud of me.

Heart Update

I have been meaning to update everyone on the condition of my ticker, so here it goes.

My doctor started to try to wean me off one of my heart medications to see how I would do. I wore a heart monitor for 2 weeks to see if I went out of rhythm and I did a few times. So at my last doctors appointment we had some decisions to make, I could stay on the medications at the higher dose for the rest of my life, or we could do another ablation. Joe and I would like to start a family sooner or later and since there is not enough research on what happens to the baby in the long term if it is exposed to this medication in the womb we decided that we would do another ablation. There is no guarantee that this ablation will work but we have faith that it will get us one step closer to being able to start our family.

My ablation is scheduled for Monday, June 28th. I would really appreciate your prayers for me and Joe at that time.

Snowboarding in June!!!

So it turns out you can go snowboarding in June in Utah. My friend Kristen had the brilliant idea to try it out. This was the first time I have been in about 2 years (I've been really really really needing to go) There was a handful of people up there, most of them looked like this guy....... There were a lot of people in shorts and t-shirts, we were not so brave and bundled up just in case we fell.
We basically had the mountain to ourselves, I dare you to try and find another person on the mountain in this picture below.


Thanks for the invite Kristen! We should make this a yearly tradition!!!

Pirate Island

So my friend Celina is back from Ethiopia for a few months and for the past 18 months we have talked about how much we wanted to go to Pirate Island and eat Pirate Pizza and watch Pirate movies. Well Monday the day finally came!

These pictures all look like it was fun and games...but it wasn't. They stuck us in the cave area where we couldn't see any pirates, but the worst part about it all was on Tuesday Joe and I both woke up nauseated, and it didn't take long until we realized we had food poisoning. Joe and I have spent the last day with buckets beside us with muscle pains and the inability to keep Gatorade down.

Take it from me...never ever eat here!

2 Years of happiness!

Joe and I are celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary today! It's weird because it seems like we have known each other for forever, but then it also seems like we got married yesterday.

Joe-

You are my best friend and I love you so much! These two years have been my favorite! I am so proud of you for going to law school and working so hard! I married the best man on earth and I love love love love love you!

Love, Sarah

Happy Birthday JOE

(This picture was from last year, but this year I think he will like the cake even better!)
