Thank God for insurance!

So this month has not been the happiest month with health issues in our family. Jared has been having quite the stomach aches lately and after nagging him he finally decided to go to the doctors. The thing with the doctors though is that they never really seem to know what is going on. Jared believes he had some Gall stones. The doctor first didn't listen to our whole story of the symptoms, and then wanted to prescribe Jared some medicene right off. PSH! heck no... so we suggested looking at the gallblatter through an ultrasound. During the course of all these visits Jared had some pretty bad stomach aches. One really bad one had happened the day before we went in to see the doctor for the ultrasound of his gall blatter. That was when he thinks he passed the stone. He had all the symptoms for gall stones, just wrong timing with the check-ups ( he should have listened to his wife earlier and went in sooner ;) ). But he feels great now ( to my relief) and hasn't had a stomach ache since. Weird

Well right after Jared gets better I have a random stomach attack Sunday morning that lasted maybe 15 minutes and included a whole body sweat and shakes and throwing up. As soon as i threw up i was fine. The funny thing I had been having some sharp pains in my lower stomach for a good week now, and that is exactly where it hurt sunday morning. It hurt so bad my body threw up. Interesting. So it was my turn for an ultrasound, but everything was normal so the mystery is still unsolved. Also to add to the excitement, they gave me some antibotics for another problem that I have been having and tell me that it interferes with birth control and I should watch out for the next two weeks. That is exactly what a couple wants to hear after being married for 3 months... UGH! But with at least 5 doctor visits and two hospital runs insurance should come in handy right? With the insurance company we have now we will probably pay for all of it. It seems that when you get married and come to school here, the schools insurance company thinnk they should charge you more money for coverage and cover less... see anything wrong with that? I think that they think since you are married you have more money... haha we will be switching companies very very soon!

DECOR!!!

Ok so we finally got our big pictures, we found out the office here at our apartment complex was holding onto them for a week and was not going to call us and tell us they had them. Stupid! anyways so yesterday I decided to decorate the apartment a little more since some of our pictures had come. We have a ton of pictures and picture frames so I wanted some filler wall decor.

So I headed down to Idaho Falls to Ross and found a ton of cool stuff!!! I was so excited to get back home adn show jared and start decorating. Here is what we came up with... This is one of the big pictures we got. I'm still trying to work on this wall it feels a little empty to me. But I wanted to show the picture. Its a little blurry sorry about that.We had gotten a Target giftcard this day, and I stopped by Target to use it except I couldn't find anything desirable to buy. So I got clever and thoguht I would surprise Jared with these T.V. Stand Eating tray things. He works from home and was using a chair as a table and the couch and is was causing some back problems so now he has a little desk. But I wanted to show that I bought some drapes at Ross, you can't see but there are two white panels behind a sage green panel. it gives the room some extra color. also I added thsoe cool candle holders over the T.V. that spot was empty and needed to be filled. :) Here is our new and improved Bedroom. This was my project for the day. I bought these drapes at Walmart and that is the big picture on Canvas that we got in finally. I also bought those three pillows on the bed to make it look like a nice bed and add some decoration.

Ok Here is my favorite part of the day. I bought the "Forever" letters at Walmart, painted them brown and then put some of the pictures that we do have in frames and made that display. Also while at Ross I cound those 3 star shaped wall decor while browsing. The two outside ones have moons on them and the middle is a mirror. Then I discovered that really cool big star/moon/sun thing at ross that just happened to match the three little guys. I was having so much fun shopping for decorations!!! Now I can't wait to get all of our pictures here so I can do the smaller projects to finally complete our apartment and get the random people out of the frames that are on our wall. ;) Our apartment feels like a loving place now. I just want to lounge here and look at it all day.

Recital & Hair Cut

The weekend has proved to be fantastic! I had a piano recital on Saturday that I have been preparing for for a month now. I played Mozart's Fantasy in D minor and totally nailed it!! I had practiced it a few mintues before the recital and had a few iffy spots but once I got up there they didn't matter. I felt like doing a high kick right there on stage!

So later that night I decided to finally give Jared a haircut. He needed it badly. I have never cut hair before so I was a little nervous. But luckily the hair kit had a little instruction manual and Jared knew what he liked and it worked out great. It only took me an hour, for my first time I thought that was pretty good. I am really proud of myself cause I think he is looking pretty good with his new haircut. Next time I wont wait so long to cut it cause it was a little hard to do it with longer hair.

Welcome to the Roberts

Well I finally decided to sum up the courage and create a blog for our family. I've been wanting to for a few weeks now, but just haven't had time to sit and figure it all out. Plus my relief society was doing a blog night to show "New Bloggers" such as myself how to do it, so now I feel better about it.

We had a perfect fairy tale wedding in California and Washington. We couldn't have asked for anything more it was better than perfect. We enjoyed a full week in Maui basking in the sun and warm weather before making the long road trip back to the frozen tundra of Rexburg, Idaho. But we made it back in time to get our apartment running and to attend another school semester at BYU-Idaho.

We are all moved into our apartment finally (minus pictures on the walls, we are still waiting on those but they are coming... hopefully). Our apartment is very nice we were very blessed with the gifts that were given to us, I feel we are better off then most newlyweds. The apartment complex unfortunately did not pay the small amount of extra money to do some insulation in the ceilings so we hear everything downstairs and upstairs. Conversations, music, bathroom business, fights, television, everything. And it is pretty annoying all the time, so much we are already contemplating moving. We try to stay extra quiet cause we hear how loud everyone else is... so when we do make a small amount of noise we immediately get banging on the ceiling. when that happens I really feel like shouting into the floor but i'll save that for another day when its worth it. Maybe when we are moving and they can't come beat me up :)


We love being married, being able to hang with your best friend all day and do whatever you please, whenever you please. It is so much fun!


We have already had a loss in the family... Jared's truck (Sally) crashed and died. We have found some cool friends in our ward and were headed up to Kelly Canyon to snowboard with them. We bought thermals, gloves, goggles, tickets, and so on for this trip. We didn't anticipate the night was going to be so expensive for us. We hit a solid road of ice, we slid and bulldozed over a thick wall of ice. We never even made it to hill. We waited for 2 hours for a tow truck and then headed home. What an awesome night. Luckily there were no injuries and we had insurance, and good thing too cause we definately needed the insurance after finding out all the damage and having to file the car as totalled. But all was well we found a new car for a smokin good deal and haven't looked back since. Welcome to the family "Double D" (D odge D urango).
