Day Shift =)
Tomorrow Bobby starts day shift! Woo Hoo!
Not sure if he'll make it a whole day, he's recovering from yet another surgery. Friday he had an epididymectomy - (right side). You'll have to look that one up ;) He's very sore but doing well.
Just after 'knocking' him out with anesthesia, his temporary tooth was knocked out by the anesthesiologist. It was cemented back in place while he was asleep. Because of that mishap, the doc decided to put the tube up his nose, then his nose began to bleed profusely...from both sides and wreak havoc again later in recovery. Needless to say, it has been a bloody, painful weekend. We're glad it's over and looking forward to day shift.
Bobby really loves his new job, it's been just over two months. He's working at Medicine Lodge where he processes surgical tools and implants, mostly for the spine, and gets them ready to ship.
I still plan on posting more about his health and medical adventures, just not tonight. It's already too late and it'll take me a while if I give any detail.
Happy December everyone! I hope those of you who are LDS were able to watch and or listen to the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional tonight, it was awesome! Chandler (14) had the opportunity to attend the devotional in the Conference Center with a friend and his family. Pretty cool, huh?
Have a wonderful season, and go make someone smile :)

Treasures
I know, I know, it's been a while. Not quite as long as last time, but still, what a month now? It's funny, 'cause when I posted my last post I was wanting to post again so fast and I restrained myself. I was thinking... "come on Steph, calm down and don't be silly, you don't have to post about that, or that, wait for something more profound or momentous..." My thoughts went like this for a while. But hey, ya know I shouldn't have listened to myself because I never know when I might have the few minutes to post again, right?
I've recently joined facebook.com and L.O.V.E. it!! I am having so much fun reconnecting with friends I grew up with and even those I see on a weekly basis. After receiving friend requests and having others accept my request and sending messages back and forth, I feel so loved! I really love where I live, but there is something that I feel when I hear from a friend that I've lost touch with over the years that just completely lifts my spirits, its awesome! It's almost like a visit home where I grew up. To know that I am loved, missed and cherished by those whom I love is truly a treasure!
Speaking of treasures, I have many in my life and I am so blessed. Even though life really bites sometimes, I am happy and grateful to have a loving home with a family I want to spend eternity with. I had a very happy childhood and still truly love spending time with my parents and all 5 of my siblings and their families.
So here is a little plug for facebook, you need to be responsible, of course, and not get completely obsessed with it, but it can be rewarding and fun.
Another couple of treasures... my brother Ryan is moving here! He'll be staying in Samaria which is just outside Malad, ID which is just about 45 minutes away! and... my little sis Savannah is coming for a whole week! Staring next Tuesday. Savannah will be here for Thanksgiving and the after Thanksgiving shopping! We are so thrilled!

We live here!
Cache Valley is so beautiful in the Fall! Bobby and I very often, say to each other, "we live here!". We love the scenery and the people. One of the best things about living here, besides the cows and horses, is the fresh, clean air! It smells so good, especially when farmers are harvesting their hay.
Lying in bed at night and in the early morning hours with my bedroom windows open, I can hear cows, its so cool!
