Surgery

Well I am sitting here in the waiting room at my wonderful derms office. They just took some of the cancer out and are testing it to see how much more they need to take. My brother in law was kind enough to lend me is computer, so I can sit in the waiting room and watch some great chick flicks that my mom brought me last night. Hmmm.. what movie to watch... I have a lot of choices...The scarlet Pimpernel, Becoming Jane, Emma, Miss Potter, or the Queen. All movies Chase is probably thankful that I am watching them alone and not making him watch haha. They say i will wait about 1 hour and a 1/2 then go get more taken out. I will keep everyone posted. As of right now I have a swollen face and my eye is swollen shut but i think its just because of the numbing stuff, and I have a great looking bandage covering the left side of my face. IF only Chase can see how pretty I look now haha! My spirits are high and I am no longer scared, just thankful that I am getting it taken care of. Lets just hope I don't leave looking like this! haha

yeah... this is what i'm talking about..

Lets just say "army of hot Vampires" what can be better?? haha I am kind of excited about this one! i love all the action! yes!!!! thank you summit for actually creating a good budget for this film so it can be great!!! here is the new trailer from Eclipse.

life

Life always loves the throw us some curve balls to keep us on our toes. Today I found out that i have skin cancer on my nose. Thank goodness we caught it early enough to where it didn't go internal, but in two weeks I am going to have to go in and get surgery. They wanted to do it right away but i am taking multi vitamins and they want to wait till they are out of my system. So in two weeks my mom is going to fly out here and take care of me while I sit around looking like Frankenstein. I guess they have to cut open my cheek and side of my nose, then keep digging it out till there is no evidence of skin cancer remaining and do some sort of skin graph. I was scared at first, I have to miss work, and I am so afraid of what my face is going to look like once its all done. But luckily they can take it out, that is a positive! I am so thankful for medicine and the technology that can get me cancer free :). But I was feeling pretty down on my way home from the doctor... i just kept thinking of what kind of scar it will leave and just throwing myself a pity party :) but i came home this...

I don't know how he knew how bad I needed this today, he was taking a final so could not be with me at the doctors, but Chase had my favorite candy, flowers and the nicest card laying out on the table when I got home. He honestly just made all my fears go away.. and I Know everything will be ok :)

Happy St. Pattys day!

For some reason I really like this holiday.. I wonder if it is because I have an excuse to pinch people... especially my husband and of course I forgot to wear green today to work! so I made myself a green name tag. Our first guest today was our radio DJ that does advertising for us, Kevin Cruise from U92. He got pinched like crazy from all the nurses here.. you gotta love it :) Every st. Patrick's day my mom would make corn beef and cabbage.. I hate cabbage but i loved the corn beef and potatoes! I wish I had the time today to cook it.. but I don't so I guess ill just have to live with it :) I hope everyone has a great day! Remeber to wear green!!! :)

This is so Chase and I in 30 years.. I would totally make him dress up with me hahah

Yummy Oatmeal Bars

My old Roommate for three years, Tori, taught me this recipe while we lived together. She always had the best recipes! It is a huge hit! Every time we have a get together or people want me to bring something for dessert they always request these oatmeal bars. Even my friend Michelle had me bring these to the hospital right after she gave birth! haha So I thought I would post the recipe so all of you can enjoy this amazing recipe and become popular :)

Oatmeal Bars

2 cups of melted butter

2 1/4 c. of brown sugar

3 cups of Quaker oats

3 cups of flour

1 1/2 tsp of salt

1 1/2 tsp of vanilla

Mix all ingredients and put half of the mixture spread out on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 min.

Then combine :

1 jar of butterscotch

2 Tbls of flour

Pour on top of baked oatmeal mixture then add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of butterscotch chips and put evenly on top of mixture. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture on top and bake for 15-20 min.

Take out and enjoy! I like to do it at least 3 hours before or the day before I take them somewhere, but some people love it right out of the oven ( it's just harder to eat)

I hope this brings you as many memories as it has for me!

"Dead"

no, my blog is not dead, haha I have just not had the time to blog, plus my work blocked our Internet so I cant blog at work anymore :). Just a few things to catch up on for my wonderful blog journal. My whole family is wanting updates so I will just give a few..

California..

We went to California for Thanksgiving this year. It was great! we did our annual walk on the beach thanksgiving morning ( which I think is always my favorite part of the Holiday). Spent two wonderful days with family seeing movies, going out to eat, working out together, and just relaxing. I love going home, I miss my family more then anything.. thank goodness for Skype!

New Mexico..

This was my first Christmas away from home this year and I am so thankful I have such awesome in-laws! It honestly made it so much easier to be away from my own family and to have a family I love as much as Chase's. This was the first Christmas in five years all the Hathaway's were together! It is fun learning new Christmas traditions, so Chase and I can combine them and make our own for our children. We stayed there for four days and had game nights every night ( which the girls always won ) and ate Delicious New Mexico food! I love Yevette's Garden, she always has such great fresh vegetables and Salsa! yummy!

Valentines day-

This year Chase is finally letting me go to pirate island pizza! For those of you that don't know what this is, its awesome! its like chuck e cheese but pirates! there is a big ship and talking pirates and yummy food! I am such a little kid at heart and have been wanting to go for months! Thank goodness his nieces are in town so I actually have an excuse to go. So tonight i talked all the siblings in to going with us as well :)

Chase has two more semesters to go in school, and he is loving learning all the things there is to know about construction. Every time we drive he points out something he sees that has to do with his classes.. its pretty funny. My mom loves when she drives with him :)

I have been doing good at work and still loving it. They asked me to fly to Florida to our corporate offices this week and asked if they could film me doing a consultation so they could use it for their training. I was really flattered but I had to say no.. Its Valentines weekend!

Biggest Loser-

My parents, Chase and I are making a goal to loose weight together and in August my dad is going to treat us to a get-away vacation. I am so excited about this! I gave up Diet coke! I know, I had a headache for about three weeks :) haha. It has been really fun doing this with everyone and calling my parents for motivation and I am surprised at how easy it is when you actually have people doing it with you.

Well that's all for now! but I promise to keep more up to date from now on!

a must see

Chase and I went and saw this movie tonight. First of all I love Sandra Bullock and Chase loves football so this was a perfect movie for us, and I must say it was great! Such a feel good movie, about giving and in the spirit of thanksgiving I thought this movie was perfect, so all of you go see it!!!
