- I had my second of two surgeries back on May 12th. It was tough to go through another surgery, though I think my nerves were a little less this time. I was so excited to get rid of the ostomy bag I had been toting around for 3 months and to get back to a normal life. The surgery was pretty easy, though I was in the hospital for longer than I would have liked (and had to have a roommate for the last 3 days). In the end, I recovered pretty quickly and surprisingly was ready to go back to work before work would let me come back (stupid drug tests!).
- Speaking of my surgery, it has now been over a year since this whole ordeal started. I can't believe it, honestly. I don't know if it is more stunning that it has already been a year or to think about all of the things that I (and Kyle) have been through in the last year. I won't say it has been easy, because it hasn't (this isn't what they tell you marriage will be like when you go through all of those classes), but I will tell you that it is absolutely AWESOME to be feeling like myself again. Really. I think I truly feel like myself for the first time since this whole thing started. That in itself is pretty great.
- I have been able to do certain activities that I have not been able to do in a year. I have played tennis with a friend. I wore a bathing suit. I went to the pool. I have been to the lake. I have eaten nuts, sushi, and other food I couldn't imagine living without. I have had fun. I haven't had to locate the nearest bathroom everywhere I go. I have been able to actually do my job. I have gotten a promotion. I have finally been able to live again. Fabulous.
- Right before my second surgery, my manager took a position at a different company, which left an opening in our group. I took a chance and applied for his job. Honestly did not think I would get it. I am so grateful that they decided to give me the chance. I have been working really hard to prove to them that they made the right decision, though I will say I still feel like I am still getting some of the rust off of my previous managerial skills. I think it will get better with time though. Of course, there has been that 4-letter word we have been dealing with....XBRL. Look it up.
- Entourage! Sunday 10:30 EST. Final Season. Can't wait!

- If you didn't think it could snow in July, you would be wrong. I can bring our white Labrador Duke over to your house and prove it snows in July. He shakes, white stuff all over the floor! :)
- Two of my favorite people in the entire world are now engaged! One got engaged in New Years, the other in May. I am so excited for both of them to be getting married (and those boys are definitely lucky).
- I turned 27 a little less than a month ago. I don't really have a feeling one way or the other about it, but I do dislike being one year closer to 30. I think 30 will be tough. I'd really rather not talk about it.
- Over the 4th of July, Kyle and I did a little extended weekend honeymoon redo. Needless to say, I did not have the best time on our honeymoon in Mexico. Kyle surprised me with a trip to Table Rock lake with a two-night stay at the Chateau on the Lake resort. It was fabulous. Some of the highlights include a fabulous sunset dinner overlooking the lake with a steak the size of my head, sleeping in (in a fabulous extra big king size bed), fun at the water park, and just relaxing fun with my wonderful husband. Great way to celebrate surviving our first year of marriage.
That's a good quick recap of the last few months for us. Let's hope that things keep going the way that they are, because they are definitely looking up!
