Moving

So we are preparing to move out of our minni-apartment into on campus married housing a BYU and today I was reminiscing about the interesting adventures we've had in this little place. First of all, it's Stephen and my first home together and even though it defiantly has some major drawbacks it will always hold special place in my heart. Second, the huge spiders (I'm serious, they were as big as a quarter!) that kept me up after Stephen went to work, staring at me with their beady green eyes, daring me to move, until I got up the courage to attack them with a stick and beat them senseless. Third, the stove, for those of you who don't know, the stove blew up in my face last week (one of the scariest things ever to happen to me!). Luckily nothing bad happened and I'm fine, the stove however has gone to the big junkyard in the sky and we have a new beautiful stove that works so great. My favorite memories, however, will always be Steve and I sitting on our bed eating dinner, because we don't have a table. Oh the memories. We're happy we're moving but will always remember this place fondly.

We got a CAR!!

So thanks to Stephen's amazing sister Johanna, we have a car! She moved to Japan, didn't need her car anymore and thought of us. She is so great, I love her so much! It's a silver 2008 Mazda 3 and it works great! Thank you, thnak you, thank you Johanna, you have no idea how much you've helped us!

Easter 2009 Fun

My parents came up from San Diego for Easter this year and we had so much fun! We went to visit Grandpa Hepworth which was nice because we haven't seen him in a while.

Our cousins Amber and Nicolas also blessed their baby last weekend and we had a huge Easter feast. Here are some fun pictures...

I forgot my email and my password!!

So I totally forgot the email and password to our blog but I finally figured it out! So much has happened since our last post! We've been enjoying our life in the "minni apartment" but are planning to move to on-campus married housing next month. Both Stephen and I are SOO excited!

Also the doctors finally figured out what was wrong with my ankle. Apparently when I fell off the ladder last August I split a tendon in my ankle and another tendon slipped in between the split and made it unable to heal. So that means that I have to have surgery next month to repair it. That's going to be interesting.

Stephen has also had his own foray into anesthesia. He has had really bad heart burn since he got home from his mission and just recently his heart burn has gotten so much worse, so we went to get it checked out and the doctor recommended he get a throat endoscopy. It was his first experience in semi surgical procedures and he was quit excited! I personally thought he was crazy because I've had more surgeries then I care to remember. Anyway the doctor found out that the valve between Stephen's esophagus and his stomach doesn't close like the rest of the worlds and that stomach acid goes up his esophagus, yuck, I know! And to make matters worse he has a lesion on his esophagus that needs to heals. So basically he has to take prilosec the rest of his life and he has to get another throat endoscopy next month to make sure that the lesion on his esophagus heals properly.

So next month will be crazy busy for us, but really that's the way I like things!

Everyday it gets a Little Cleaner

So my mom took a look at the last pictures I posted and almost screamed. It was a little messy for her :(. So I decided to take more pictures after I organized a little and added a tablecloth to hide the stuff under the table. Looks better Huh?

Our New Apartment

So if you all don't already know Stephen and I finally grew up, became real married people and moved out of my parents house :) We are attending BYU and living in Provo. This is our new Place!! It's a studio of sorts and tiny but we love it!! It's still a mess but everyday it gets alittle cleaner.

Christmas

For Christmas this year we had all my brothers and sisters at the Hepworth home, except Jordan, he's on a mission. It was so much fun! One of the highlights for me was being awoken at 5 am on Christmas morning by my 26 year-old brother, Ammon. Some others include watching Anne help Ella open her presents, going to the Francois's for Christmas Eve, and spending my first christmas with my husband.

Our First Thanksgiving Together!

Stephen and I had the opportunity to spend our first thanksgiving together all alone! My family spent thanksgiving in Utah but Stephen had to work so we stayed in San Diego.

It was so much fun to spend the whole day with Stephen making Thanksgiving dinner and playing games. The dinner was actually really good, considering neither of us really knew what we were doing, but there were SO MANY yummy leftovers. After dinner we layed on the couch in a turkey comma, well for us it was a ham comma because neither Stephen nor myself really likes turkey :), and watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. All in all, an amazing thanksgiving!

P.S. Stephen did all the dishes, he's so great!!

Updates

So I've gotten some updates about my ankle adventures. It seems that in true Sian style I have gotten some fancy rare condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). It is a condition where my central nervous system is sending more pain to my ankle then necessary. I have to get a series of three shots in my back to jump start the healing, yay; you all know my love for shots :). And possibly the worst news is that I will not heal for at least a year. But the good news is that I have mild case so it may go away sooner, who knows.

Stephen is recently got a job at Costco and he is really enjoying. And other then my ankle troubles we're doing relatively well.

Halloween

For Halloween Stephen and I dressed up as Scarecrows. Stephen even let me put makeup on him! He looks way scarier then I intended but it worked out because I wasn't scary looking at all. We went to our ward Trunk or Treat and a little girl asked if we were real or decoration. Quite an accomplishment I think :).
