my surgery went surprisingly well. i didn't swell at all, and only took pain meds for the first day as a precaution. my gums are a little discolored, but thats expected. the stitches are itchy because they stitched the front of my gums to the back of my gums in between my teeth. i can eat anything i want though which is nice and it doesn't even hurt to brush my teeth. i feel very blessed. i have my post op appointment on thursday but i don't know if the pathology report will be back yet.
in other news, i spoke too soon about ty quitting WoW. While I was napping after my surgery, he reinstalled it. hopefully it'll be better now that he's had a break and we've discussed the concerns about having it as a daily thing.
ty and i are really excited about spending our first holiday season together with our families. i'm going to be coming down to the valley on thursday to see my brothers open presents before they leave for utah. i'll go back to flag on saturday night, and then me and ty will come back on monday afternoon, but we have to drive back on christmas day for ty's work.
megan- please have your baby soon. we can't wait to see him =)

Pictures as promised (yes, I realize it was a month ago...)
This was our house. It had three bedrooms, an awesome view of the ocean from the top balcony, and only 3 cockroaches that we found =) I don't know why this picture isn't in focus.
This is my favorite picture of Ty of all time I think.
Sand dollar heaven. I was really trying to find a live sand dollar for ty because he's never seen one before. When we used to swim in the ocean down in Mexico when I was younger they would get stuck to our shoulders, backs, legs. They look like little fuzzy green quarters. Me and Ty didn't find any, but we found a ton of regular sand dollars.
I've been to the beach with Tyson three times now I think, and every time we go he acts like a small child who is seeing the ocean for the first time. He runs around collecting shells and brings them to me when his hands get full and then I have to tell him "okay honey pick your three favorites, we can't take them all home- we have to leave some for other kids to find" and then he negotiates so he can take FOUR home instead. It's real cute and kinda funny.
We rented quads for an hour one day and it was the most awesome thing ever! I've never really ridden quads before but I had SO MUCH FUN! This activity is highly recommended to everyone who goes to Mexico. It was cheap too.
This is Ty getting stuck in the sand on the beach. The guy we rented them from said we could go as close to the water as we wanted, but he was lying. The sand near the water is really loose and Ty just sunk right in. It made for a pretty cool picture though.
This is me NOT getting stuck in the sand. yay.
Best meal ever. It was about $5 for 10 jumbo coconut shrimp with pineapple dipping sauce. Amazing. I also had apple soda for the first time and it was pretty good. Ty ordered the same thing everywhere we ate: beef soft tacos.
These are the 'famous' arches that are the entryway into the little city where we stayed. When I was little and my family used to come here for vacations, you could actually go up inside and look out over the whole city and the ocean and everything. It was so cool, but it is closed now.
We both drank a lot of Fanta because we couldn't find lemonade (both of our favorites) and the water isn't safe to drink. Fanta is good though, and they always gave us straws =)
So i am officially done with classes until i eventually decide to go back for a dual major or my masters (I haven't decided which i want to do first). I think I did pretty well, but there's one class that I'm kind of concerned about. It's the one that I wrote a paper for in between our wedding ceremony and the reception...
I go in for my mouth surgery tomorrow. I've been trying not to think about it while I finished up the semester so last night it hit me and I had a mini panic attack. I'm going to be the worst patient ever. It also means that I can't work full time like we were planning during winter break so we are pretty strapped for cash. I'm nearly always stressed about money, even though I usually don't have a reason to be, but now I do and it is lame.
I have almost all of my christmas shopping done though, because I don't know how well I'll be feeling after surgery for shopping and crowds and whatnot. I still need to get Ty his 'big' gift, but thats going to have to wait til closer to christmas.
Tyson and I used some of our target gift cards to get christmas decorations for our little apartment. I don't know how we did it, but we got everything to fit. yay! Our tree is really cool- it has those fiber optic lights on the ends of all the branches and they constantly change colors. We don't even want to put ornaments on it because it is so pretty already.
Ty is looking for a new job too. He is just so bored at the credit union, and needs to be making more money since I won't be working for the next month, and then I start student teaching... He is thinking about picking up two part-time jobs so he can work more than 40 hours a week. I really appreciate the fact that he is such a hard worker and wants to provide for me. My cousin filed for divorce in October and that was her main complaint about her husband. I just feel really lucky to have Ty.
This is getting much longer than I thought it was, but I haven't posted in almost a month... Last thing: Ty quit WoW! He was just playing it way too much and wasn't getting productive things done, and it was causing a lot of tension so he just uninstalled it! I bought him a different video game that isn't online with other people, its just you against the computer, so he can pause it when he needs to and walk away from it without letting down his friends or getting attacked when he's not looking. Things have been wonderful lately.
