picture over load!

yes we are still alive

As usual the Wilsons have been busy. Kraig has been going non stop with school and work... I am so proud of him, so far all As! He is so smart! He took a small break from his school work in October so we could take a little vacation. We went to New York to visit my brother Ryan and to see the city! It was my first time and Kraig's second time. It was a blast, but we needed a vacation after our vacation. It was sensory over load like no other!! We went non stop from the second we got there till me got on the plane. We saw and did everything, Ryan was an awesome tour guide!! When we got back it was back to reality. I have been really busy with work at the salon, even though I am tired at the end of the day I am loving every minute of it. Our puppy Howie is gettin way to big. When we got him he was only 5lbs and now he is 6 months and 55lbs and still growing. He has been so much fun to have around and I just love him. Thnksgiving was great, execpt for the fact that I got sick that night and am still trying to recover from a nasty sinus infection. I HATE BEING SICK!! We are looking forward to to Christmas. I just love the Christmas season and the happiness it brings. We will be heading to Washington in a few weeks and I am so excited. I haven't spend Christmas with my family for 3 years. Kraig and I will be also celebrating out 3 year anniversary this month. I can't believe it has been 3 years already! Pictures will be coming soon!

Start of a New Semester

Kraig is starting his second semester of school today! I am so proud of him and the choice that he is making to go back to school and I know he will do great! Life in the Wilson home has been busy. We both have been working a lot to get ready for Kraig to go back to school. I am working at the salon about 5 days a week and I still serving at Outback a few nights here and there. Kraig has been serving about 6 days a week at Outback... what a trooper! He was able to get some golfing in before he went back to school and I know he was happy about that... that boy LOVES to golf. We have also been busy with our now 12 week old puppy Howie. He if officaly house broken and kennel trained! Yah go Howie. He has been so much fun! My niece Avery is too funny ... she LOVES Howie and wants to see him and play with him until he is actully in front of her then she runs away. Howie is still a puppy and so naturally he want to nip a little. SORRY AVERY! Our nephew Ethan loves him too and it is too cute when he lets Howie chase him... I love it cause it makes him nice and tired out... ETHAN you need to come over to aunt Elise house more often. We have had a fun summer and we are just waiting for the fall to come with some cooler weather.

LOTS TO CATCH UP ON!!!

We have been really busy latley!! Here are a few highlights... they may be out of order
Kraig Started School:

He finished his first semester in July and is starting his second semester in August! Yeah Kraig!! I am so proud of him and know he will do amazing things.

My Brother Ryan Came To Visit:

The day after Ryan came we both jumped in the car for a road trip to Califorina! We went to Magic Mountin and had a BLAST!! We visited our cousins and aunt! It was just the two of us on our little trip and it is the first time we have done that!! Seeing as I have 6 siblings times like that are awesome!! I will remember that trip forever!!!

I HAD A BIRTHDAY:

I turned 23 on June 12. Kraig surprised me with front row tickets to the Dimond Back Game! I was so excited. It was so much fun to be that close to the game. We had so much fun we went back the following week for another game:)

WE GOT A PUPPY:

On the 4th of July Kraig and I got a 5 week old golden retriever puppy! We named him Howie and he stole my heart the first day I met him. Now I did not grow up with animals in my home and Kraig has had dogs pretty much his whole life... so I was a little nervous about the whole thing. He is a handful but I love him and and having so much fun being with him. I even get sad with I have been away from him for a long time... never thought I would love a dog! But come on people look at him, how can you not love him.

MY MOM AND SISTER TIFFANY CAME TO VISIT:

They called me last minute and told me that they would be here in 3days for a visit!! I was so excited to see them. My sisters kids came with them too, Madelynn, Kayla, Gunner and baby Nolan! They all fell in love with Howie too... EVEN MY MOM!!! I was like where is my mom and what have you done with her... she is so not an animal person. We had so much fun swimming, shopping and of couse I did everyones hair!

I AM GOT CERTIFIED IN KERITAN TREATMENTS:

Through my salon we get to do free classes and specalized training. I went to a class to learn how to do these amazing treatments to eliminate 100% of friz! IT IS AMAZING!! It lasts for 5 months and is all natrual! So, if you want it done let me know and I would LOVE to do it for you! It is safe for all hair types ... yep even colored treated hair! I got it done and I did it on my mom and we both LOVE IT!! It only takes minutes to do my hair now and I don't even have to use a flat iron. My hair feels like silk and is so healty and shiny!!

Room Makeover!!

Our office has always been a junk room!!!!!! Everything ends up in there such as laundry, workout stuff, my cosmetology crap, crafting and sewing junk ect... you get the idea. I just could not stand it any longer. Why have a second room in the house if you are not going to even enjoy being in it. So, this week I gutted it and make it over. I decorated it so I would actually want to be in there and make crafts, sew and have the door open! :) It is still a work in progress and need some more decortating but here it it... I acutally make the drapes and wall organizer! :) If you have any ideas about what other decorating I could do PLEASE SHARE!

Who actually gets that?

That is the statement my SIL said to me when we were talking about how I got the actual Influenza virus! Seriously ... who actually gets that? Just my luck ME!
It all started with Sunday, it was Kraig's birthday and I was feeling a little under the weather but I did not want to really want to make a big deal out of it. So, Monday rolls around and this is the day I am suppose to take my big practical exam for my liscense and I am feeling like absolute crud! It's 6:30am and I need to walk out the door in 10 minutes and I fell like passing out when I stand. Note, that I HAVE to take this test today or I have to pay another $120, not happening! I quickly get down on my knees and pray that I can just make it till 11am, my test will be over and then I can just go to bed. The whole drive to the test is nothing but more and more prayers. I made it to the testing center with one minute to spare do to traffic, a 30 minute drive took me over an hour! I completed the test, go some meds, and got into bed. That night Kraig came home and was trying everything he knew to make me feel better. But my throat was on FIRE and felt like I was constatnly being stab in in the throat. My head was pounding, my body was aching and I was bundled up so much but still counld not get warm. I was keeping my poor husband up so he finally went down starts to sleep on the couch. All I wanted to do was sleep but, I couldn't due the fact that it was getting hard for me to breath. Around 2:30 am my husband took me to the ER. Now, any one that knows me know that I don't do well with hospitals! Once being examed I start umm... how do I say this, loosing my cookies! They send me back out to the waiting room while they get a bed set up for me and while I am waiting my husband has to run and switch cars with his family. So, I get x rays and then am sent back to the waiting room. Then I get called back to my room. Kraig is still not back and they are wanting to put in a iv... but I am feeling nauseous again... and hello I don't do well with hospital and needles and now you want to stick one that is freaking hudge in my arm and my husband isn't here! I DON'T THINK SO... but the doctor though so, boy I bet he wished he had listened to me! I am praying that Kraig will just show back up NOW! The doctor starts getting ready to put in the needle and I turn my head and my knight and shinning armor shows up!! But I am afraid it was a little too late, I tell the doc I am feeling nauseous and he doesn't get me anything, I tell him again and still nothing. So I sadly have to admit that I lost it on not only the doctor but my self as well!! My wonderful husband had to get my nasty covered clothes off of me and get me into a gown. What would I do with out him! Oh and while at the hospital I had my first experience with morphine! When leaving the hospital ... yeah got sick again! Not a fun night at all! So, for this whole week I have been feeling horrible. But thank you so very much to my family and all they have done for me! They are amazing, espically my husband thank you, thank you, thank you!
