Thanks.

Over the last few weeks Andrew and I have been going through some hard times. Most of you know, that Andrew and I had the surprise of our life when we found out we were pregnant. We were thrilled and a nursery was set up within 3 days... only to find out a few days later that my body wasn't ready to carry a baby. Even with this disappointment, it was wonderful to see and feel the love and support of our friends and families. I want to thank all of you for all for everything, the phone calls, texts, and listening ears. After years and in some cases decades of friendships, I know you will always be there for me. I needed it.
The latest update is, I have been seeing an "infectious disease specialist" that will hopefully help rid my body of "MRSA". We are considering a year long treatment, but supposedly it will make me feel like crap, and will not permit pregnancy anytime soon. There is no way to know for sure if it will work, we are also concerned that if I get on a year-long routine of medication my body may become immune to it. In the event of another case it could get worse, because my body may not respond to treatments... we have alot to think about and figure out. All we know is that it will work out for the best and we can rely on friends and family. Thanks to everyone!

I wish I had a picture!

We have all had those moments where you wished you had a camera...Well here is my most recent moment. Andrew and I went to a cabin in Jackson and celebrated our first anniversary. It was wonderful to get away from everything and spend some time together. Coach (the newest addition to our family also came)... Coach only weighs about 2.5 lbs and often sleeps at the foot of our bed. Well I woke up in the middle of the night and Coach was not in his normal spot. I called for him and he comes running out of the bathroom. Hanging off of his face was an large piece of cardboard. He comes running over to me whimpering, I try to take the cardboard box from him... it was stuck to his face! I turn and wake up Andrew... (Andrew and I have been working on training him to obey). Andrew tells Coach to drop it but yet the cardboard box remains "stuck" Andrew has no idea, and is thinking he is not listening and snaps him on the nose. At this point Coach starts crying... Apparently there was a sticky insect trap under the bed. He must have gotten out of bed and found it and was unable to get loose, we ended up needing to give him a hair cut to get rid of the sticky mess. Poor little guy. It was the funniest thing though seeing this little fur ball with a cardboard box the size of him hanging from his cute little face. I wish I had a picture.

Poor Thing

Andrew was being a sweetheart and giving Coach a bath. He was wrapped in a towel when he rolled off the couch with his foot stuck... It broke two bones in his front paw. I felt bad for the little guy but boy is it funny watching him maneuver around! He is so cute. I am also adding pictures of the apartment paint job!

We've Adopted!

Hey everyone, well Andrew and I have decided we want a little one running around, so after a lot of careful consideration... we decided to adopt... from a breeder! We bought a little toy poodle, he is 1.5 pounds and will not get over 6 pounds! We decided to name him Coach. He is the smallest little thing, and follows us everywhere. Here he is!

After two weeks of settling, packing and unpacking, we are settled into our much LARGER apartment. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have space! We are living in Idaho Falls in a three bedroom apartment, three walk in closets, two bathrooms and vaulted ceilings! Hooray, I don't feel as much like a poor college student anymore! Here are a few pictures of it and the progress we are making!

Changes

Well this last month has brought on a lot of fun changes in the Decker household. As priorly mentioned I have been on a job search. I was right the job market here is horrible. I wasn't able to land a job in my major but I did find one in my minor. Anyone who knows me, knows I love interior design. I was able to get a job at Furniture Row, and I will get to help design family rooms with clients. I am really grateful for this position, it is a job that comes with the pay rate of a "real" job without the stress of a "real" job. It is the best of both worlds.

With the new job in Idaho Falls, we will also be relocating to the city about 30 minutes south of Rexburg. With Andrew and I both working, and the gas prices soaring we will be moving later next month. I am excited about the idea of getting a bigger apartment and redecorating again! Whoohoo....

Until we get into our new apartment I will be commuting, but I don't mind to much because...
I got my new SUV! I love it, it is adorable, it is a 2005 Escape and I like it so much!

Graduation!

Hey Everyone,
Well I finally made it, I am a college graduate! Megan, Robert, and I all graduated on April 10th. It is so different not to be working or worrying about homework at all times. I have yet to figure out what I am doing with my life, so I am going to Ohio with my sister for a break. I will be there for about a week and then will come back to reality and I will need to start the dreaded job search. I will keep you posted on any findings!
