Baby Quilt

It's been a long time since I have sewn and I actually started this awhile ago but I finally finished it today (adding the edging and fixing a few mistakes). It wasn't going to be a baby blanket originally but that sure does seem like what it's turned into. I wish I knew someone who was having a baby boy to give it to. All my pregnant friends are having girls.

This quilt is made out flannel and has flannel for the batting. The edging is made out of cotton.

Why Jon needed stitches

Just when I was about to give up on blogging because I thought our life was too boring, something exciting happens to stir things up. Unfortunately it wasn't good exciting, but quite the opposite. Warning: You will see some gross pictures so if you don't like gore, gross things or blood, don't continue reading... :)

It all started last night, unlikely enough, as we were about to go to bed. I was in the bathroom taking off my makeup and my sweet Jon was making the bed up so we could turn in for the night. I heard a crash and ran into our room. Jon had flipped the sheet up and it caught on our light fixture above our bed. He then pulled the sheet down which broke the glass and then that proceeded to fall on top of him, cutting his arm. As he tells it, there was then a ninja riding a horse, riding a dinosaur that came in trying to attack and he was actually cut in the process of defending my honor but I don't remember that part. It's funny how people remember things differently.

Well anyway, when I walked in the room I saw this

Jon was very tough! He said it didn't even hurt but I was a wreck. He wasn't crying but I was haha. I can only imagine how I would have reacted if it had of been my kid! But anyway, my first aid certification kicked in and told me to have him apply pressure and get him to the Dr. so that is what we did. I took him to the Emergency room because that is the only place that can help you with this kind of thing at 11:00 pm. We were at the hospital until around 1:45 AM even though it was slow. He even got a cool wristband thing.

The Doctor (who was also named Jon), was very friendly and told us we did the right thing coming to the hospital because the glass had actually cut through Jon's muscle. Plus this way it's way less likely to get infected. Then the Dr. checked for any remaining glass but wasn't positive he got it all so he also had an Xray which turned out clean. Jon got 1 stitch on the inside to repair the muscle and then 5 to close the skin. They fixed him up nice and pretty!

He got a sweet purple bandage and everything was ok

Until.....................................................

We discovered that even with insurance our copay was still $200! How do people afford to get sick?

And then we went home to clean up all of the broken glass and found the piece that stabbed my hubby!

And we cleaned up all the glass and went to bed.

Dinner Last Night

We used our George Foreman grill tonight for the first time to make breaded Parmesan chicken (which ended up looking a lot like chicken nuggets), and breaded grilled veggies. The chicken was super frozen and we didn't want to thaw the whole package so Jon went at it with a hammer and a knife. Although slightly dangerous, it was very effective. The food was ok but the ratio of unhealthiness to taste wasn't worth making them (at least the way we did) again.

I also made some of the grossest deviled eggs ever, which I took no pictures of. They didn't look much better then they tasted. First off, they are way better with mayo (I used miracle whip), and second I used spicy brown mustard and I think too much of it, plus we don't own paprika. We have this whole cool spice rack thing, but no paprika. Haha so that was my experience with that. New wives are supposed to have a few bad meals right? I am pretty lucky. I have a very understanding husband and patient husband. He is very sweet about my cooking, even when I know it is not very good :D

Wedding sign

We got this sign from my Mom as a wedding gift.
It is pretty cool.

Honeymoon Pics!

Mr Davis and myself enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. We didn't take a lot of pictures but here are the few we did take:

Our cute bridesmaids and groomsmen decorated our car and here a few pictures I snapped on the drive to Idaho! When we had been at our hotel for a few days, the lady who worked at the desk asked us if we were the newly wed couple. We asked how she knew and she told us she had seen our car :D

We saw this cool mountain on the way to lava with snow that looks like a heart :D

This was our gourmet dinner that we ordered the night of our honeymoon. Fancy table cloths and sparkling cider in wine glasses with our pizza. And look how cute the little chocolate covered strawberries are with the tuxedos!

 We were able to visit the Idaho Falls temple on our honeymoon. It was beautiful!

Family Bridal Shower

I know this is late, I never got around to posting before the wedding. We had a wedding shower thrown by my wonderful aunts. A lot of hard work went into it and it was wonderful! Here are the pictures: (by the way, the bows on my head thing is this terrible family tradition where the groom has to kiss off all the bows on top of the bride's head that came from presents. So there ya go.)

Engaged!

7/10/2010

Everyone asks how he proposed so here is the story: :D 

I went to my student clinical internship for massage on Saturday morning. After giving 4 massages, I headed home and called Jon. He told me he was on his way to my house so we could go to Park City and go on the Alpine Slide. When I was almost home, I asked him where he was (I couldn't hear any signs of driving like his door shutting, car beeping, etc). He told me he was between 4500 S and 3900 S. He was so specific, it didn't sound like he could be lying. When I got home, I walked to my room and noticed the door was shut and I hadn't left it that way. I figured someone else did when they walked by and I walked in. My room was clean and my bed was made (which I did not do when I had left that morning at 7:30). There were red flowers scattered across my bed and in the middle was a cupcake box. You see, cupcakes are sort of our thing. When one of us is going through a hard time or having a bad day, we go to this little cupcake store by my house and get one for each other. He bought me one on my birthday too. We love the red velvet cupcakes! Anyway, that is why it was special for me. I opened up the box and there were 4 little cupcakes sitting on a white box. Then Jon walked into my room and I said "I didn't think you were driving!" He laughed and said "yeah." Then I said "you got me cupcakes!"I took them out and grabbed the box. He grabbed my hand and the box and got down on one knee. I said "you know you're holding my right hand" haha I was kind of confused. He laughed and said "I know". Then he told me how he had prayed about us getting married and felt an overwhelming feeling of peace and then asked me if I would marry him. I said "of course!" and we hugged. Then we ate delicious cupcakes. It was pretty awesome! I love him :D
