Yesturday Cam had a day off of Camp, so he came home! :) which meant... I GOT TO SEE HIM! yay. I was smiling all day long. It was super sweet too cause he called just after lunch and asked for me to come over to his place, so I made my way over there. We got in the car and on our way over to wherever we were going (I had no idea at this point) he kept asking me "do you know where we are?" "do you know where we're going?" he took an alternate route so I really had no clue.

We then pulled into Fort Langely, and he took me to visit the Fort! I had never been there before and we had previously been to Fort Langely to walk around and have coffee we walked past the tall walls and I was so curious as to what was behind it. So Cam took me in! It was SO MUCH FUN! we had such a blast... I really loved every moment of it.

He is now back to Stillwood today... he's doing the single moms camp and then Sunday afternoon the first load of kids come (over 500) and the summer camps begin! Ten more days and I get to see him again, and that Saturday (July 7th) is my Birthday day with him! For he misses my actual b-day on thursday! SO EXCITED!

YAY for healing!!! my thumb is getting better... a lot better! Not very much pain anymore and hardly any more throbbing, just left with a very ugly nail and no feeling on the tip of my thumb or side, apparently the nerves will return (hopefully!) so yay.
two more days and then I get to see Cam!
Im VERY excited. :)

my icky thumb! :P

my first hospital bracelet ever! can you see the monkey sticker?

so... many have been asking because of my facebook profile how I did this AGAIN to my finger! well, it was in October of 2006 when I did this the first time, so it isn't like it was a couple months ago, it was about eight months ago! :P
so there!!
but this time I was taking cigarettes out of the safe, and the door was closing a lot faster than I realised and it smashed on my thumb. This time it was waaaay worse too :'( I went to the Emergency at the nearest hospital where the doctor froze my entire thumb! you know when you get your mouth frozen at the dentist? he did that to my thumb!! It was SOOOOOO painful!! I cried and squeezed my brothers hand so hard! then he put my thumb in a shotglass of chemicals which bubbled and dissolved all the blood which was scabbing on my thumb! :P it was gross and painful...
but
my thumb isnt broken and Im back to work on Tuesday.
my hospital adventure was very... entertaining in the least, Jason (my brother) took me and stayed with me the entire time! we laughed and kept ourselves smiling and all the nurses there were amazing! the nurse that I registered with even put a monkey sicker on my hospital bracelet she told me that it was to make me feel better and to try and help me stop crying! soooo sweet! she then tried to set me up with her son! hahaha.... the one thing that would have made it all better was if Cam was there :'( but it's okay cause I got to see him last night and he kissed it all better!

so... now I am going to stay faaaaaar far away from the cigarette safe if I can help it.

I MADE WHEAT-FREE COOKIES TODAY!... and they were soooooo good! :)
Im sooo excited to experiment with making wheat-free bread, cake and other yummy things soon, hmm... actually I think I'll make brownies tomorrow! I bought a wheat-free cook book today too! so I can make TONZ of stuff, and I've found the flour I need at such a cheap price, some of it at Pricesmart and some at Choices! (you need to mix four non wheat flours to make the flour needed for wheat free baking/cooking, this is cause only one flour doesn't have the right consistency) so its surprisingly afforadable! YAY! :D yes.. this is my awesome good news. so Summer Goal: learn how to cook/bake wheat-free!!!!!!!

here is a big YIPPPEEEEEE for PriceSmart foods.. why you ask!?
cause I was there yesturday in their bulk foods section just hanging out with my mommy and guess what I came across??? RICE AND BROWN RICE FLOUR @ 29 cents for 100g. Thats amazing! :) Im sooooooo excited! you have no idea what this means! (well, I think you're guessing where Im going with this) I can FINALLY start doing my own stuff with this flour which is CHEAP! sooo much cheaper than buying it any other way I've found so far. so YAY... BIG HURRAY! for this new discovery I was sooo giddy at the grocery store that I actually hugged the flour containers and jumped up and down! and then wanted to find someone who worked there to hug them too (I didnt though, cause thats creepy)... AHHHH!!! sooooo excited! :D I can experiment, now my plan is to find a recipie book so I can make some good rice bread and Karen (cams mom) has offered to help me perfect the art of rice break making... yipppeee!!!....

so i decided that i wouldnt talk or post about my "health issues" any longer because it bores people and because i really need to rely on God about it and not other people to give me attention. in a way i believe that i was subconsiously enjoying the attention i was getting from people by telling them my "sick problems" and getting the "ooo... I feel so bad for you" response. im sorry to all!

yet, this is truly scaring me and although i am posting i ask that nobody do the whole "ooo... Im so sorry for you!" thing, but instead pray for me.

i went to the doctor about two weeks ago, because i had an anxiety attack and intense pressure, burning and such things in my chest. turns out i have a stomach ulcer, or at least the "start" of an ulcer which my doctor gave me meds for. good right? take meds and ulcer goes away!? well, wrong apparently! ulcers don't go away, at least ive been told.
but i believe that with the healing power of God, YES! they do!

so please pray for me, that this forming hole in my stomach shrinks and goes away, not only cause its a hole and that sucks, but because there is potential for it to become bigger and cancerous, there is also potential for me to get more anxiety attacks and so forth. so really it going away is the best thing possible.
Im also done my 15 days of medication and nothing has changed, still pain and pressure, still anxiety and apparently I need to learn to relax, no stress... any relaxing techniques that people have to offer me?

thanks to everyone who will pray on my behalf!
i appreciate it more than i can express,
be blessed :)

Cam and I enjoying everything!

Nantina and I goofing off, the chocolate fountain was our favorite! :) Yummies
