The thing I love most about my blog is never knowing where it will take me and my family next It’s always an adventure and a great time. The other night we were challenged by Royal Caribbean to seek an adventure, we found ourselves at the top of Squaw Peak which you can see for yourself was breathtaking especially with all the fall colors in full swing.
Woke up to rain rapping on my windows and had hot coco from my “good morning gorgeous” mug, Friday you are off to a good start. The kids want to go play in the rain as I am trying to persuade them to snuggle by the fire. They keep saying, “after we jump in puddles we will”. Wish me luck and off we go, the tots ideas win again as mom is out number 3:1 Have a great weekend!

Happy first day of Fall everyone. I have never been a fan of the weather getting chillier, but I do love all that fall brings. The kids have been talking nonstop about how their favorite pumpkin patch opens this weekend and they couldn’t be more excited about wearing costumes the entire month of October. I am excited to actually get dressed this season lol I love the freedom of summer and running around in nothing but a bathing suit but once in a while it’s fun to pair outfits together.
What are you looking forward most with the new season change?

Last Saturday we drove to Sacramento and got to attend Dallin’s good friends wedding. It was so much fun to just get to be as the two of us all day and night.
When we left the wedding I thought I had mastitis as I was engorged and I felt some flu like symptoms coming on. My back was aching ect.
Fast forward to Wednesday night. After attending a friends b-day party and seeing my mom before her operation. I was lying on my couch in my bedroom trying to speak with my online dr. With every breath that I took it felt like there was a knife stabbing me in my back and on the side under my armpit. I felt like I was having a heart attack. The dr. told me to get into the er asap. I started to panic as it became harder and more painful to breath. My back was arched and my head out the window trying to get more air as we sped to the er.
They wheeled me immediately into X-rays to see if I had a broken rib or collapsed lung. I also kept saying that it felt like my chest implant was being ripped out of the muscle. I have been coughing for 3 weeks now and have had no voice. I was put on oxygen. And my blood was tested to test for infections.
It was the scariest moment of my life and most pain I have ever experienced to date.
I found out I did not have mastitis, and nothing was collapsing, or broken. That I have a respitory infection called pharyngitis and costochondritis. It was a very scary attack to say the least.
At this time we are treating me with pain meds and antibiotics, for it is very painful to breathe let alone cough.
I am unable to take steroids and anti-inflammatories which would be nice to speed up the healing process, which is usually how costochondritis is treated.
It has only been a day since my attack and I can already feel my voice coming back, although I cannot sing, it is like music to my ears.
I will never go that long without seeing a dr. or getting medical attention. Sometimes things don’t heal themselves.
I am very grateful to be on the up side of my health. For your biggest wealth is your health!

Saying goodbye to summer is never something we like to do, but rather one of those things we do because we have to. At this time we reminisce on all the beauty that surrounded summer 2016, for there was lots of it. We look back with fondness and look ahead with excitement. September is one of my favorite months, my birthday and anniversary are days away, then comes all the fun of October. Life is beautiful, so glad I get to spend it with the ones I love. Until next summer.
