It's offical we have a date for our surgery! We will be going on June 25th. Hurrah! we are so excited!

another dr visit

So we went to the Bariatrician (aka:the gate keeper) today for a follow up and clearance for our surgeries. We passed our Psych consults (so we can officially say we are NOT crazy), all of our blood work came back ok and we have all the visits necessary for insurance company. So we are very excited to announce we are cleared for surgery!!! also we found out that Nate's heart murmur the doctor originally heard is no longer there. Hurrah! We will let you all know when our surgery is as soon as we see the surgeon in a few weeks.

aliens & gardens

Well we haven't been abducted by aliens or any other crazy thing this is us in our new CPAP masks. We both have been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. (Which is where you stop breathing while you sleep). So in order to help us maintain breathing & oxygen levels we have to wear these while we sleep.

Also I thought you all might want an up date on our garden: so here we go

Our garden

We decided this year that we wanted a "in the ground" garden. So Nathan spent the better part of two weekends getting my garden plot ready for plants. First we had to rake up all the stuff that was in the area. Then Nate tilled up the ground. Then we added top soil with miracle grow and tilled again. Then added manurer and tilled again. Finally he made my rows and we were ready to start planting!

Plants are finally in the ground!

We also found the toppsy turvys at home depot and decided to give them a try!

Beef take 2

Ok for all you all here is a picture of "T-Bone" (the cow) a few days later. yummy yummy!!

Doctors

We went to the doctor today in Flagstaff to talk about both of us getting gastric bypass surgery done. It was great we are hoping to get our surgeries done within the next couple of months! We are so excited! Hopefully everything will go as we have planned. Let us know what you all think.
