2008: January: Rustin and I started another semester of school again.
February: Rustin dislocated his shoulder playing church ball 7 months after his 2nd surgery. He will have to have surgery again for the 3rd time. Rustin got an MRI to try and see how to fix his shoulder.
March: Rustin and I went to St George to spend time with Grandma Veigel for Spring Break.
April: Ashley turned 22! Rustin got a CT scan on his shoulder to still try and figure out how to fix it.
May: Ashley graduates from Nursing school! She works her last shift at Primary Childrens. She started work at McKay Dee Hospital. Rustin starts another semester of school.
June: We move in to Ashley's parents house and start looking to buy a house.
July: We went to Lake Powell with Ashley's family. Rustin turned 23!!! Our insurance company accepts the U of U hospital and Dr Burkes!!!!! Woo Hoo!!! (He's the only Dr here that knows how to do the Latarjet procedure, they take the coricoid process and use that bone to graft and rebuild his shoulder socket). We see Dr Burkes for the first time for Rustin's shoulder. The Dr tells us he wants to graft bone to hold it in place. We went to Bear Lake with Rustin's family. We decide it's time to start trying to have a baby.
August: We went to Idaho with Rustin's cousins. We celebrated our 1st year Wedding Anniversary camping up in Logan and then went to Bear Lake. Ashley surprises Rustin for our Anniversary and tells him we are going to have a baby! Our nephew Miles was born. Rustin goes in for his 3rd shoulder surgery. He starts another semester of school.
September: We see our little baby for the first time and hear his heart beat.
October: We see the baby again and he his growing! Ashley takes the NCLEX-RN and Passes!!!
November: We find out we are having a Boy! We find a house that we love and put an offer in. Our offer is accepted and we start the loan process. We went to St George for Thanksgiving.
December: Ashley's belly starts growing fast and she is now showing. We are still working on the loan process for the house and are hoping to start the new year with a new home.
2008 has been full of different adventures. The Lord has blessed us so much and we grateful for this gospel in our lives. Thanks to all our family and friends for their support and love. We are excited for 2009 and the new things it will bring.
