| This is what I have been doing :) lol |
So it has been what...a YEAR since my last post?? Haha! I don't know how people stay on top of blogging all the time, it's so hard! I have since tried to start doing youtube makeup tutorials as well since I thought it was going to be easier than taking a million pictures and then explaining it on here, but that is not the case; it's just as hard, if not harder. Maybe if I could get a better set up or something it'd be easier, but right now all my makeup is in my bathroom and my vanity is too small to set up lighting a camera AND all my makeup, plus I hate clutter and I don't want to have to lug all my stuff around place to place just so that I can film myself doing my makeup. SO I think I'm going to start just posting pictures of makeup on here for those that want to see my amazing makeup skills ;) hahaha just kidding. I'm not sure how often that'll happen, but it will every once in a while. I know that I for sure am going to post either a video or a blog on some Valentine's Day makeup since V day is coming up and my boy won't be here yet :( SO I'll use that time to do some really cute makeup, hair and nail tutorials :) I also have some ideas on a few DIY’s that I have done, so I’ll post pictures of those as well. As for what has been going on in my life...oh my goodness, where do I start?! First off...relationship wise...simply AMAZING! :) My baby comes home from Afghanistan in 9 days and I couldn't be more happy or excited if I tried!! I feel like I am on top of the world with him. He is literally my everything. Everything I have ever wanted is finally becoming a reality. He is it for me...which is an incredible feeling since I haven wanted this with him for a LONG time. It's is even more amazing than I ever could have imagined though. I love him more than anything in this world. He MEANS the world to me. It's incredible, HE is incredible and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him...more on that later though :) I'm almost finished with school, I have 1 quarter left, I am still coaching volleyball, although I will be getting a different job soon. I did, however, just have ankle reconstructive surgery and let me tell you, if I did not have as supportive of a family or boyfriend...I don't know what I would have done. I wasn't able to put any weight on my right foot AT ALL for SIX WEEKS! I finally...2 days ago, just got the ok to start walking...kinda hahaha. I will have 6 more weeks of physical therapy and ankle rehab and then I might finally be able to start being normal. It's been a nightmare though. I was in severe pain the first week so I was on some pretty heavy drugs, and then those made me throw up all the time so I had to stop them and just be in pain, then the swelling started. Then I was in the ER because my insides weren't really working anymore, so I spent a good 2 weeks being miserable and about 2 days literally just in tears the whole time. Then I started falling...I fell in the shower, hit the faucet with my back and now have a scar there, I fell in the bathroom and smacked my knee, hip, and ribcage on the bathtub (bruises the size of Texas for weeks), I fell in other places, and then the last time, I fell in the parking lot at school and was almost positive that I had broken my wrist. I have fallen over a total of 7 times and I still have battle wounds to prove it. The scariest thing was worrying about tearing my ligaments and tendon again and undoing all of the work that he surgeon had done. Getting my 17 staples out hurt like a b*$%, then doing stretches to try to loosen everything up hurt. Obviously I didn't think any of this was going to be a walk in the park, but I definitely wasn't entirely expecting this. That being said, I have healed WAY faster than most people do and apparently my doctor said, I've been fairly tough and am dealing with this wonderfully. Now I'm trying to strengthen my now tiny little leg and build up a lot of lost muscle. I didn't realize that you have muscle in your feet...but when you haven't put your foot down in 6 weeks, taking those first steps is not an easy thing to do. It hurts, especially when I don't have my boot on. This entire thing has been depressing...like it has really gotten me down at time, but extremely eye opening because I realize that this has been NOTHING! 6 weeks of not walking sucks, yes, but I KNEW that I was still going to be able to eventually. My heart aches for those that have to have this be a permanent thing. I am definitely through the worst of this and I am so grateful that I have a healthy body that is recovering extremely fast. I am so excited to get back to my normal self again, but I know that I now will really be grateful for the things I have from now on and not taking something as simple as walking for granted ever again!
