End of the year update

Well I have not updated the blog in quite sometime so what better time than at the end of the year. We can not believe that it is already January and a new year in just a week. We also can't believe that we have already been married coming up on 10 months!!!!! It goes by so fast. Being married isn't good enough for everyone as usual so the baby pressure is mounting! I will enjoy having kids one day but to tell the truth I haven't had quite enough time alone with my husband! We are having so much fun together. I am not one to brag about anything I have on the contrary I normally like to down play it so I don't seem arrogant. But I am really blessed to be married to Kari. I had a rocky start at first I have to admit. I never thought I would be one to ever get married or settle down in one place. I am such a free spirit, I love being on the go and traveling all the time. So all of this was definitely a life changing event for me. But I have found that marriage is a million times better than I thought it would be. Maybe I am just lucky with who I married. I hear things change the more time you are together but so far things are only changing for the better. There is never a time that I don't look in Kari's eyes and see how much he loves me right back from them. I know that sounds cheesy but its really true. Plus we just have so much fun together in everything we do. I have found that sitting around on the couch is almost more fun than any exciting traveling I would of done on my own! So with all that said this has been a good year.

Still trying to get my health issues under control. Word to the wise don't ever take the antibiotic Bactrim. That is what kick started all my health problems(i think) I had hopefully my final procedure a couple weeks ago where they put a camera in my stomach. She found it was a mess just like every other part of me right now. So she has put me on a medication for three months. It seems to be helping, plus I have changed to a yeast free diet (that is helping a ton, thanks Courtney) The only bad part is the medication has some bad side effects. But I am back at work. Starting off the new year with 140 trips! woo hoo. gotta pay those medical bills that have been piling up. Kari is in good health as usual thank God!!!!!

So happy new years to everyone! Hope you guys are all in good health and happy. Love you all

Christmas at the Puranen's

USC / FL GAME

Kari and I drove to Columbia, SC where I went to college to watch the USC/FL game. We stayed with my best friend Liz and had so much fun. Unfortunately South Carolina did not win but it was a close enough game to make it interesting. Great weekend!!!!

HI from the hospital

I am going on day three at the hospital here in Melbourne. I was submitted Monday and hope I get to get this stinkin IV out of my arm and get to go home today. Still not any better and can't tell you how frustrating this is. Looks like I will have to go in and have one more procedure done. still hoping everyday for someone to give me some medication to make this go away. If this procedure doesn't fix it I am off to the mayo clinic. I am ready to go back to work and start living my life again. So that is the update for now

Going to feel better today

Going under anesthesia to have a few procedures done so we will find out what exactly is wrong and get me some medication to fix it. I leave in an hour and I am actually looking forward to it because I know I will start feeling better soon and finally have some answers. My mom and Kari are here to drive me to and from the procedure. So wish me luck....

A break in a very bad month

This month has been very trying for Kari and I. I have been sick for a long time and feel horrible. I haven't worked in a long time and have to take it easy every day. I am still going through tests and am having to find a lot of patience to get through this. The fatigue and pain make it hard to do too much. I was relieved to know they finally found something in my kidney now I have to wait another week to find out what it is! Hopefully whatever this is can be fixed and we can have our life back. Kari and I decided to get out of the house and have a day out! We went to seaworld for the day and got to see my favorite the Shamu show!!! I also took a picture of my poor poor husband all alone on the roller coaster. Can u pick him out haha. He is all alone since I won't ride roller coasters and apparently no one wants to even share a row with him. Poor baby. But it cracked me up. I got to sit by the roller coasters and watch him fly over my head. It was totally dead there. Just us and the whole country of England.

addition to the curtains

We made a slight addition to our curtains we put an under laying sheer curtain with the design on it. I love it. Now we just need to talk my mom into hemming the long curtains and our living room will be all set!!!!
