Well I have been out of the hospital nearly one month and it only seems like it has been a couple of weeks. The first two weeks home were not great. It takes a lot to come out of a bed for a month. I lost a lot of muscle mass and was a bit frustrated. I am still not back to where I want to be but at least I have energy back.
We decided that we needed to take a little break and get away from everything so we thought we would go spend a few days in St. George. We had some friends meet us down there and we had a good time. Happy Birthday to Jacob by the way, I am glad we were able to spend it with you. It was fun being with you guys for a bit. Then our family stayed down from Fri. the 3rd until Tues. the 7th. We then headed on down to California.
We decided that we would go to California on the Thurs. before we left. I still can't believe we did it. We spent the first night at Bens aunt and uncle Kizerians. It was so much fun to spend time with them and get to know them better. We learned a lot about Bens heritage and wow, what amazing people he comes from. His ancestors came over from Armania and it is a pretty remarkable story. We also learned more about his dad and the circumstances that occurred. We found out that it was within minutes that his obituary was almost not in the paper and we would have never found these people. I know the Lord truly had a hand in it and how grateful we are that He did. It has truly been a blessing in our lives. Then it was on to fun fun and more fun. We went to Disneyland for 3 days straight. We went with Bens aunt Kathi and uncle Bull and his cousin and her family. They also had some friends down there. We had such a good time. It went way to fast and we were exhausted when we got home on Saturday, but it was well worth it. I am so happy we got away.
Here are a few pics of Disneyland.

Oh and Minnie looks pregnant! What's up with that?
I am glad to see you are feeling better. I have been wondering about you. Your pictures are fun. I was excited to see them. We head off to Disneyland this weekend! I am thrilled to take our kids.
Yeah, I am glad you were out having fun and making memories!! I was worried because you hadn't posted for so long. Seriously, I loved your pictures of your family. You are all so cute...even Ben!! Glad you had fun and that you are home from the hospital. Love ya
It's good to have you back! I cannot get over the pic of Ben and Cambree giving each other sideways glances. SO cute!
I'm glad you got away too. Sounds like you had some fun! Is it wrong that I never want to go to Disneyland?
Em,
Looks like you have been having a great time! I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I hope things are going good. We need to get together soon.
I'm way jealous. i love Disney Land! I think Payton would love it. Maybe I could talk Brett into going next year. We're glad your back. Love you guys.
What a great vacation you were able to go on...I'm jealous! My brother went on a mission to Armenia. How neat you were able to spend time with Ben's family and get to know them better. You guys are great!
I love so many of the pics you took. The one Cambree hugging minnie...too cute. And I love the one of C and Ben drinking together. Hilarious.
Glad you had a good time. Looks like you did. You deserve it after the month you had! Can't wait to see you guys again.
BTW, my dad isn't staying with us any more. He decided it would be too much for us to handle. He didn't want to put that burdon on us. Good guy!
It was so nice to see you the other day at the girls dance class. You looked like you were feeling so good. We really do need to get together and let the girls have a play date. Then maybe we can catch up. Stay feeling well!

Dear Emilee,
I think the next time you go to Disney Land you should bring your sister Whitney because Cambree will have oh so much fun with her. Thats all!
YOU WERE HERE FOR FOUR DAYS AND NEVER CALLED? What the heck? I'm fun!
I'm glad you got away! I'm glad you were able to have some fun family time! I'm so glad you are feeling better! Sorry it has been a rough few months!
LOVE YA!

Em, I hope you know that I was kidding! Of course I forgive you! I just miss you so much and I WISH I could have seen you! You really are looking GREAT! I can tell a huge difference from the picture that Stacey has on her blog of the day you guys had lunch! I hope you can get a 100% soon!
LOVE YA!

First of all, you win the award for most consistent commenting. Secondly, I am so stinking green with envy. I have been dying to take Kinley to Disneyland, but to go during this fun Halloween time, oh, how fun. I sure hope you are doing well and getting back to 100% too. We should plan a get together some time with the old gang. Maybe over the holidays if you're going to be around.
I'm so glad you got to have a get away,you definatley deserve it,and that's so cool about Ben's family. You are an amazing person,emily! I'm so sorry I never made it out to the hospital,but I thought about you often and I'm glad you were able to post on your blog,so I can see how your doing.
So glad that you are out of the hospital and feeling better. You deserve a fun vacay to Disneyland!
So fun! I am glad that you had a great time, you SO deserve it!
Aren't Heavenly Father's tender mercies amazing? It is nice that you were able to learn about Ben's heritage!
Okay, I seriously just scored 100 percent on your friend quiz. I am amazed actually because I guess on some of them but I knew most of them! I KNOW YOU BEST AND I DON'T EVEN SEE YOU THAT MUCH!!!! :)
