Two Thousand And Nine

2009

I know people usually wait until after New Years to do this post but whatever. Today is Christmas and I am trying to think about everything that has happened since this time last year. I wouldn't say it was a bad year but I wouldnt say it was a good year. I remember Christmas last year. My mom suprised us by brining Madi and Brady out here to spend Christmas with us. But to be honest, I don't remember a thing about New Years. I can not remember anything that I did. Weird.

**My work Christmas last year was alot of fun! My mom was really sick with phenomia and so she was unable to go but my dad was so sweet and came with me as my date and we had alot of fun!

He was my good luck charm! Every year at our party we have a raffle for all the employees. Everyone wins a prize but I never ever win anything that I want and this year I scored!!! There was an awesome tool kit that was.... wait for it.... PINK!!! Everything was PINK!!! I had been eyeing it for weeks! And guess what? ... I WON IT!

I couldn't believe that I won it! I was so excited!! When he picked the number and I realized it was mine I yelled out " SHUT UP!" I had alot of fun at the party and believe it or not I use my took kit ALL the time!!! Half the stuff I don't even know what it is but the simple stuff I use all the time and I L.O.V.E it! Thanks daddy for coming with me!

** Febuary was Valentines month. I hate valentines day. I always have. And always will. It was a holiday to keep Halmark and Hersheys in business. I have had valentines day as a single person and as an engaged person.. It doesn't make it any better. But this years V-day wasn't so bad, it was actually kind of fun. Remeber in elementary school when you would decorate little boxes so all your classmates could put their V-day cards in them. Well the hotel did that for the employees this year. We all decorated boxes and put them on the mantle of the fireplace in the lobby and had guests vote for the best box. Mine won! Wahoo! Pink is my color... I know how to decorate for V-day!

I got lots of gifts from my 5 year old boyfriend Greg aka Bubba.

**In March of 2009 my kidneys shut down and I went into Renal Failure and almost died. I would  say that was a " not so good part" of 2009.

What a horribly miserable time of the year. No wait... Of my life! I have never been more afraid in my life. I honestly thought that this was the end for me, I honest to god thought that I was going to die. Probably becuase the doctor told my mom that had it been one more day they waited to admit me, I probably would have.Thats awesome. 

Seriously. Could I look anymore like death? Haha Fug! Who knew not being able to pee for 6 days straight would lead to renal failure! Now I know!

My mom never left my side. She was there with my every single day and every single night. I know I am a 22 year old and should be a big girl and be able to spend the night by myself at the hospital but... well... lets face it. I'm not. I don't know what I would have done with out her! She was there to give me hugs and wipe my tears. She watched movies with me all night long when I couldn't sleep and stuck up for me when the ass hole doctors came in and told me that I am just a crazy drug seeker. ( ya she let em have it! Go mom dawg!) She slept in that horribly uncomfortable chair every single night and never left my side. Thanks Mom.

I have never felt more loved in my life while going threw all of that. I had so many flowers and teddy bairs and all kinds of stuff sent to me that we ran out of room to put it and the nurses had to keep them out on their desk until someone could run then home to make more room! I had so many vistors come and sit with me and even though I don't even remember then being there because I was so drugged they just came to sit with me. I was never alone, when my mom would go home to shower and get more clothes or whatever there was someone who would come and sit with me so I wouldnt be alone. Whether it was my sister Meagen, or my dad, Neighbors, friends or even my doctor would sit with me until someone else could come I was never alone. I had my entire stake fasting for me, my neighbors came to the hospital at 4am just to come give me a blessing, my bishop came to see my every single day, my work called me everyday I have never felt more loved and cared about before in my entire life. Thank you everyone who took care of me, came to visit me, and sent me things to cheer me up. You will never know how much all of you that did stuff for me means to me thank you!

** In April of 2009 by adorable nephew was born! I became an aunt for the first time and its so much fun! He lives in California though so I don't get to see him much be he is so freaking adorable and I love him so much!

Kelvin Kyler Love.. AKA KK

He is so cute I love him so much! Being an aunt is awesome. I can't wait until he gets older and I am going to be cool aunt Holli, I am going to take him to get his first tattoo.. get him drunk for the first time, and teach him how to smoke ciggys! ... I mean... Uh... what? =) Hehe I love you Kelvin, and I am so proud of my little sister Madi who is such an amazing mother to this sweet little angel. 

**In May it was my 22nd birthday and it was a pretty rotten birthday. I was still not imporving from being in renal failure. In order to get my kidney and bladder up and functioning correctly they had to do a trial for a unit called an interstem. Which is sort of like a pacemaker for my kidneys and bladder. They decided to put the test one in on my birthday. BOO Read about it HERE

I had to wear this for a week... no showering no bending my back nothing it was awful!

I have been threw alot in my life and I must say that this was one of the most terrifying things I have ever been threw. And the fact that they said " We should have given her some valium to relax her" AFTER they did this really pissed me off! It was terrifying. But luckily they were nice enough to have my mom and dad sit with me and hold my hand  even though that didn't make me less freaked out about the fact that they had needles about an inch away from my spine going threw my back... Yikes! Because this procedure did work though I was suppose to have a surgery to have this unit placed in my surgicaly in my hip and I will wear it forever to keep my kidneys and bladder working. Unfortunity my heartless asshole insurance company wont approve it. So I am in the process of finding an attorney to sue them bitches!

** In May Meagen moved from her apartment for the past 5 years to a new apartment. I helped ( and by help I mean I played with the dog) I helped her pack and move and it was a very busy weekend!

(Please don't make fun of my huge fat stomache ( that is not fat that is my bladder that is so big becuase I can't pee it makes me look pregnant and fat!! and the fact that I look like I am feeling myself up ... it looks like I went to second base on myself!...wait.)

** In June... ( I think it was June) Meagen and I took a road trip to St George. It was a freaking blast! Even though I was sick with bronchitas and we almost got kicked out of the hotel for bringing the dog it was so much fun!!!! We rented a car and drove down there. We really did nothing but hang out at the hotel, laid out by the pool and ate the entire 3 days but we had so much fun. It was a much much needed getaway! I wish I could go back to that weekend... but I would wear sunscreen this time...

**This year my neighbors were so kind enough to GIVE me.. yes I said GIVE me a car after mine died and was un able to be brought back to life! They put a brand spankin new clutch in it for me and handed me the keys! How awesome is that! What a blessing! Thank you Doxeys!

** This Summer I really didn't get into the Owlz baseball season that much =( I just was not able to go every night like I usually do becuase I just was so sick and did not have the energy to do anything. So I missed out on seeing my summer family, getting to know the team and all that. I didn't even really know the players that lived with us, I dont even remember their names. Sad. In the beggining of the season we had Trever Pippen a returning player from previous seasons until the Angels released him and we had to say goodbye.

There was a horrible tragedy when Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident when he was hit by a drunk driver. He was such an amazing and talented pitcher. I got the oppurtunity to meet and get to know him when he played for the Owlz. He was just a year younger then me and the night he was killed he pitched a perfect game for the Anahiem Angles and then was killed.

RIP Nick

**In august my dad planned a suprise 25th wedding anniversary for him and my mom! It was so much fun planning and the party turned out amazing! Congrats to my mom and dad I only hope that when I get married I am as happy and wonderful parents like they are! I love my parents so so much I don't know what I would do without them! They are amazing!

Also in August I moved into Meagens apartment with her! It is so much fun living with her! Its awesome to be out on my own and have the independance its great! I really miss living with my parents and I miss my rent being a 12 pack of coke each month instead of actual money but its great I LOVE living with my best friends its so much fun!! ... Even though her dog shits in my room everyday I still love it!

**In September I had a really rough month with my health. I have still not gotten my surgery that I am in need of and all of this is just really wearing my body out. Since Renal failure have been home bound lots of times to wear not only do nurses come out to see me every day but I have been to sick to go see my doctor so he comes to see me. I now have a Picc line in my arm and I will continue to wear it until whenever I get my surgery. Ugh.

** I don't remember when this was but remember when I had red hair?! That was fun!

I also had to say goodbye to my very good friend Brendon he left on his mission. He is such an amazing guy I can't talk to much about him becuase I will start crying. I love and miss him so much!

**Nothing else really happened after that. I am still sick. All the time. Everyday. Thanksgiving was okay. Meagen and I spent it eating fajitas and drinking margaritas.. Christmas Eve was last night and I had so much fun with my family! I will post pictures soon!

So there was 2009.. the good the bad and the ugly. Lets see what Two thousand and ten brings to me. Hopefully a hot boy! hehe
