Updates

It's been quite awhile since I've given a real update. Valentine's Day was absolutely crazy! I thought a flower shop was nuts, it was way worse at a wholesaler. I am very glad that is over, but then Easter hit and I didn't realize it would get so busy. That's over now too, thankfully, but alas, Mother's Day and Memorial Day are coming up. Both wonderful holidays, I actually support those ones--not like Valentine's Day, but they are still going to be crazy and I will be VERY happy when June comes around!
Anyway, Spencer has been having a rough go lately. BYU keeps throwing things at him making things more difficult for him. We don't really know what he is going to do because he keeps being faced with difficulties at every single turn. Hopefully by the end of the year we will know what he is going to do. We are hoping that he will get a job doing video editing sometime soon. He has been doing fantastic in his video editing class this semester and his professor has noticed--yay! So proud of him. He is so talented.
As for me, I am hanging in there. Getting sick of this part of our lives. I am ready to move on (we both are) and start a different chapter of our lives. But we can't exactly do that until we know what is going to go on with Spencer. But work is going alright. I am very grateful to work somewhere that understands that when you're sick you just can't work sometimes. I have been sick for a week with some kind of upper respiratory thing. It wasn't really a usual cold, but I had a super sore throat and was SO tired. Well just as I was starting to get over that my Vestibular Neuritis (dizziness) started acting up. So I have been dizzy since Friday. It is starting to get better, but it is definitely still affecting me. If I move to quickly my head starts to spin and I have to grab hold of something to steady myself. I hate to be a downer, because I am VERY grateful that I am not affected by this all of the time, but I really hate it. Being dizzy is awful. It makes it so I don't really want to do anything, because doing much makes me dizzy which sometimes leads to me being nauseous. It's just a horrible feeling to have to concentrate so hard on standing and walking straight. As I said, it started getting better today, so it's just if I move quickly that it really hits me, but for the people that know me know that I move quickly. I was not raised to do things slowly so Spencer has been getting after me all day to slow down and not move so fast. I don't do well with that so I have had to stop and take it easy a LOT. Anyway, I don't mean to complain, and again I am super grateful this doesn't affect me all the time. It just sucks and is very frustrating when it does affect me.
On a different note. I love my husband. He is so good to me. I absolutely love that he is a good dancer. Dancing in the kitchen is one of my favorite things ever! Not that we have been able to dance much the past while because my head instantly starts to spin (only partially from the vestibular neuritis ;) ). Anyway, cute story. Awhile ago we were at the American Fork D.I. and we went back out to the car and Spencer wanted to show me a new dance step in the triple step swing, so we put our stuff in the car and then he pulled me into dance position and started teaching me the new step. We just got sucked into our own little world until this older couple came over and the guy said "I get the next dance." We started laughing and realized that we were a young couple dancing in a parking lot. And I loved it! The gentleman said that he liked our moves and we had a good laugh until the other couple got in their car and we decided to get going. Oh the sweet little joys in life! I am so grateful that I have so many of them in my life-and Spencer brings a lot of little joys into my life. I'm so grateful I'm married to my best friend.
Oh! And I have a new niece! Abagail Bullock, she's a little cutie and I can't wait to meet her! She was born the day I got sick so we haven't been able to go visit. But we will this weekend. Yay!
I am so excited :)
And now it is time to close. Dizziness is starting to get the better of me and I need to try to get some sleep. For those who read all of this, prayers for things to look up for Spencer would be very much appreciated!! Thank you!
