So I went to the Cardiologist today and I do have an arrhythmia but he's not sure what type so far. The Holter Monitor I wore didn't pick up enough details to be sure, so starting tomorrow I'll have a new monitor I wear for 28 days which should be interesting. I also have to get an MRI on my heart to see what might be there, but there shouldn't be anything though. It's more of a precaution to make sure I don't have Marphans like my mom. I'm not worried about that at all.
To make things interesting, we are going to California while I'll have this monitor on and they'll get to see the excitement of travel and Knott's Berry Farm and beach. Oh the joys I have to look forward to.
Until the next time I post!!

Monday ramblings
Well, I don't have any news this week other than Marc and I are planning what to do for our anniversary still. I really have no idea what to do, do any of you have any suggestions? I'd love to do something special.
We also were able to visit some awesome friends yesterday and had a great time!! Randy and Jessica are some of our best friends and we love them. We also were able to celebrate Hailey's 5th birthday with the family which was really fun. Hannah and Hailey are only a month and a bit apart but Hannah towers over Hailey by quite a bit and Jaidyn who is younger than Hailey by a year is just barely taller than she is. She's so petite and cute as well as a firecracker of energy in that little body. I sure love her and her sisters Katie and Zoe, so sweet. Thank you guys for a fun night a yummy dinner! We're looking forward to next month with you guys!
Next month we're going to California for a week. We would have done the Disneyland thing, but it's too expensive for our budget so we're going to Knott's Berry Farm instead and hanging out at the beach for a while too. We have needed this vacation for a very long time and I'm so excited to go back to California. We're also taking Marc's brother Michal with us as well and it will be a blast!
I am loving our Wii and Wii fit still! It's fun to do the exercises and have it keep track of your results for you. I reccomend it for sure!!
Much love to you all! Please leave me some feedback on what you might think would be a good idea for anniversary fun!

I had the Jazz court all to myself! Well almost...
Marc had the opportunity to play on the Utah Jazz court tonight with his work SOS Staffing and it was tons of fun for the guys. At the end I took the opportunity to take a couple shots for myself, who wouldn't want to shoot on an NBA court into an NBA hoop! Here's the proof!
I was short on this shot so I moved closer and made the shot pictured below.

Test results part one
Well, the results came back yesterday on my blood tests and every thing's in the normal range which is comforting. Now to wait for the heart monitor results which I'll know for sure on the 25th.
Enjoy your day!

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
I got this recipe in an email and I wanted to share it with you! It looks soooo good and I can't wait to eat one tonight!
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Tuesday's Ramblings
So nothing eventful has happened these past few days, but here are a few fun things that did happen.
Marc and I got a Wii and a Wii fit and love them. I didn't realize how challenging the Wii fit would be until I started doing it and wow, it's great! It's going to be a lot of fun and I love how it tracks your changes. We bought it used and also got Guitar Hero 3, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz (haven't tried that one yet), and Call of Duty 3 in the whole deal. We bought on the side Mario Kart and the Wii Fit and holy cow we're having fun! The kids have picked up on it like champs!
Still no word on my blood tests and heart so here's to more waiting and such.
Our 6th anniversary is coming up on March 1st and to be honest, I'm looking forward to a fresh start. Our 5th year started out perfect and then it went to pot as the year went on. I'm starting to be grateful for the challenges that came with 2008 but still struggling with loss, anger, hurt and forgiveness. I'm so grateful for all my friends who have pledged their support. I still don't know what to do for the anniversary so who knows if it will be big or small. Too bad it's on a Sunday!
We also rearranged our living room and so far we like it.
Yes I know this post was a little boring but I felt the need to share our news be it great or small.

UGHHH
I can't begin to tell you how anxious I am. I still have no word on any heart issues which could mean good things... Or they're trying to find out how to treat me before they call me. LOL! I'm still waiting for blood test results from my apt. almost 2 weeks ago! Things can't move fast enough lately. My body as well as my marriage has started to feel the weight of the strain which isn't fair to me or the rest of the family. I'm so quick to anger... Don't like it one bit.
And we're trying to buy a wii off KSL or Craigslist and every time we find a good one it's either just sold or they won't get back to us! What's the deal with posting an ad and never getting back to the people who are interested???? Huge amount of frustrations there! Oh well.
Hope things are going good for you out there! Better than me at least!

My Heart
So I just have to express some of my anxieties that are in my life right now. I've been greatly blessed to have wonderful health and no major issues as of yet. My father's side all have diabetes which is a concern that I keep tabs on and my mom has some inherited heart disease called Marphan's which means her heart is enlarged and she is prone to aneurysms which have all been fixed thankfully.
I don't have that disease, but it's coming to my attention I may have cardiac arrhythmia which means my heart doesn't always beat regularly. I'm supposed to have a holter monitor which I will get tomorrow and see what happens from there. I'm a bit scared since I've done some research and while most are solved with medication, in some instances pacemakers are needed. I've almost blacked out after my heart has a major episode which scares me and then it's always scary when you feel your heart trying to "catch up" or skip a beat sometimes.
I'm typically a very shy person, but this blog has allowed me a place to be honest and open with much of what's going on. Thank you for sharing my journey with me in the past while. I'm grateful for my family and friends who I don't know where or who I'd be without. I'll keep you all posted on what happens as I find out.
