Just missin the ranch life

We are missing ranch life something terrible. You know you just know when you belong or when something is just right. Well that was definitely just right for us. But unfortunately we hadn't found the just right ranch yet. We miss it fiercely and everyday I think of all that we are missing. We were so blessed to get to live that life and I hope that we will get to get back to it. It is a blessing to have a job that pays well, but it is also very stressful here with cost of living being so high. We will just pray and see where the LORD leads us. I was just looking at pics that made me smile. There are tons but here are a few I have saved on the computer close at hand:)

Eric really wants to have a chance to learn more roping skills and ride a lot more!!!

yes that is me driving the tractor!! I love tractors and I definitely think they are sexy:) hee hee!!!

Eric holding bitty!! She was just way to cute!!!

One thing after another!!

I would love to be writing fun, adventurous, cute posts at this point, any posts other than complaining and unhappiness. But really right now life has just been one bad thing or frustrating thing after another!! I am trying to stay positive and I realize I am blessed with my husband and pets and still being alive. I try to be thankful for what I have but it is so hard when everything else just falls apart constantly.
So my arm is still in its brace and very painful and will be getting its MRI today and that is after one trip to the er because I couldn't breathe well and was having sharp stabbing pains in my chest that wouldn't go away. Guess that is thanks to the brace and arm being messed up it caused inflammation and swelling in my chest muscles and sternum:( PAINFUL!!! so needless to say I have not been working.
Then Sunday Eric said his stomach kind of hurt I said sick he said no just a pain here and pointed to lower right side. I questioned him about a few things and how long and such. and I said I think you have appendicitis. He said ya right lets go get the hay. So we go and on the way his pain gets worse and worse and stubborn man wouldn't turn around and go to doctor so we got hay and then he admitted he needed to go to ER so away we go. We get there and they say he needs to go to urgent care as they are way over slammed with an OD they don't know what they OD on and such. We ask if it appendicitis will they just send him back here and she said yes. She asked symptoms and then said yep probably right better stay here. I tell nurse since she is getting ready to do blood that she can't do it with him sitting in chair he will pass out and go into seizure she doesn't listen and before she even gets the stuff out bad he goes white and blue and into seizure. So they put him in a bed and from there we get ct and then emergency surgery. So lots of hospital time and me having to run back and forth to take care of dogs and such. I am just sooooooooooooo beyond grateful he is ok. But he still having a lot of pain:( I am beyond exhausted from lack of sleep, stress and tons of pain since I cant take the pain killers with all my driving around and ib profen and such not even touching it. SO as you can see lots of stress and worry. Not to menchin neither of us working and no income for the the next paycheck will ad to any ones worries. Oh well I am just glad my husband is ok and that is all that matters.
hopefully the next post will be a better one. Hope everyone is well. I soooooooooooo need to catch up on my blogs!!!

Injury and crazyness!!

So it has just been crazy at work and at home lately. We have lost two guys at work now and so it has been a two man crew which is A LOT of work and hard on the body. We have to lift huge sets of bleachers to mow over at work and guess what I injured my arm. We figured I just pulled the muscle so I didn't weed eat for a couple days and iced and rested it and no better got worse so Friday they sent me to the doctor and then the orthopedist where he thinks I might have torn my bicep or tendon:( To say it hurts is a understatement. I have to be in this huge brace that keeps my arm at a 90 degree angle at all times, even to bed and in a week I have to have an MRI when inflammation down some. GRRRRRRRRRRRR this is not what I needed. Now our mow crew down to one guy and really nothing I can do with only one arm. I realize it workers comp but doesn't pay as much as if I work so I am asking them to find me anything..pulling weeds...picking up trash, anything to do. I really need to keep working so we can get a couple more big bills and a loan payed off that I really want to take care of. Here is a picture of my lovely arm and swollen hands.

But on a good note my grandparents stopped into visit last weekend and we all went to the rifle airshow which was totally awesome and amazing. They did some really cool stuff. It was just so nice to get to see my grandparents. I really miss my friends and family that are important to me. I really wish I could be in Oregon closer to all them. I just feel like I miss out on so much without them. Below are some airshow pics. I know this very busy post but with work and such I am so beyond tired and sick by the time I get home I just want to sleep. Also found out my blood pressure way to high WHAT!?!?!? So now I got to get an appt scheduled for that to see what up with that but would explain the headaches and chest pains and such. I hope everyone else is well. I gotta catch up with my blog reading.
