Long Time-O......No Blog-O

So it has been a couple weeks since our last blog, things have been crazy....due in part to our attempts in finding a house. House hunting is for the birds and is by far more stressful than we expected! When we are not on the hunt we head over to Grandma and Poppy's for a swim. Last weekend we decided to take Noah and Bostyn to the pool, little did I know how clever and observant our little monkey had become. Noah was floating around in his float-tube and Bostyn was splashing away with Uncle Matti. I was attempting to join them. As I was preparing to dive in (removing my tank and shorts), among a packed pool of people, I heard this voice yell from the shallow end, "Aunt Arn your naked!" I froze. All eyes were one me. I couldnt believe Noah even knew such a word. Needless to say he is at the hillarious age of honesty, holding nothing back. So straight to the water I went, and NO I was not naked, but I apparently need a new suit with a little more coverage. Love that little shit!

Happy Belated Birthday Oma! So my amazing Oma celebrated her day June 25th and we hope it was a great one. There is nothing better than a trip to Oma and Opa's for a visit and the endless supply of goodies! No really...ENDLESS! My Oma is one of the classiest and most beautiful ladies I know. I am lucky to have her. Love you and Happy day!





Another very belated wish to all of the many wonderful and fantastic fathers. Holiday weekends are always a treat, it is non-stop action at its finest. We hope it was a great day for everyone. Matich and I started the day off with Wilker for breakfast and trivia questions, then headed to Ogden for a fun filled afternoon. We were lucky to dip a bit in my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bob's amazing new pool and enjoyed the summer sun! The day completed with a Matich Family BBQ and a hillarious couple rounds of "Matich Cherades!" Happy Fathers Day to all our amazing dads!

Our Very Own Nancy Sinatra!

This is a very HAPPY HAPPY belated birthday wish for one heck of a gal, our families own Nancy Sinatra (aka TorTor, Mom, Torri). We had a great family bbq to celebrate the happy day on Saturday and to top it off we all participated in a little American Idol lip sync.
She is an amazing mom, wife, daughter, mother-in-law, and friend. She has raised three sweet and loving boys....I mean four, but one (RZA) is not so sweet..... with ease, patience, and unconditional love. We hope you had a fantastic day with many many more. Thanks for all you do. Love ya like butta!

GOING....GOING....GONE

So lets be honest, these past 2 weeks have been hell. Matich and I spent last Sunday in the ER due to the serious infection taking over my face. I was told last Thursday that my tooth was infected and the muscle around it was a little irritated, OH NO my friend, not the muscle. I woke up Sunday morn with my left eye swollen shut, a sagging cheek, and a softball growth on the side of my face (way to humiliated to post the pic). Really I could not believe how the infection took over. I had been on the strongest antibiotic there is and still no relief. On Sunday, after 3 confirmations, I was told to go to the ER. After the lovely co-pay and 4 hours of waiting they sent me home with nada. However, come Monday things were looking better. The infection began to decrease and I was set to visit the endodontist for my 3 third root canal on the bloody cuspid and an apico. Ten minutes into the procedure, the Endodontist let me know that he could not save the tooth......poor guy had to deal with floods of tears. I was then referred to a Periodontist, or as I like to call him the tooth god! He felt that pulling the bugger and placing an implant right away was the best bet, not too mention our insurance would also take care of a portion of the procedure. So there it ends....I am officially the proud owner of an implant. That cuspid has caused me nothing but bitterness and .24 cents left to our name (okay, so the money part is a little exaggerated, but seriously those things are not cheap!). I will say the Endodontist was amazing, this was the first day in 2 weeks I did not shed one tear. I didnt feel a thing and it looks fantastic! Matich...your wife is officially back...and p.s. hope the tooth fairy still remembers 28 year olds!

....hello summer......!

So long Cancer Wellness House! So, after 9 months of an internship it was time to say farewell to the CWH. I cannot believe what an amazing experience it has been to work with the members and staff of the Cancer Wellness House. It is not so much the house itself, but the amazing people I have met that make it difficult to leave. I am so lucky to have worked with such inspiring individuals who truly have a passion for the important things in life. Thanks for the good times and I look forward to my Friday volunteer days!
Now it is time again to say hello to good ole' faithful....Dana Orthodontics. I have been really lucky to take on a couple days a week filling in for fellow peers at Dana Ortho. Its great to make a little money over the summer and take a small break from the therapy scene, its a nice change of pace. Good times this summer, now lets just hope we are able to find the perfect house to purchase before Matich and I start the new school year...we will keep our fingers crossed! cheers to all!
