I do. I love the stories we tell and the life that is remembered through stories. I have several bogs, but this was my first. I searched for my blog today and the name of my blog is up for debate. Apparently being Gluten free is a big deal still. I am more than gluten free though. I am also caffeine free, acidic food free, low on dairy intake, Alcohol free, and low on sugar. Basically I eat meat and some vegetables. That is how I stay pain free these days.<br />
I recently found out that I have Interstitial cystitis. That is a fun new incurable disease that limits more of my food intake. That is why I have cut out the acidic group of foods mentioned above. So there is a little about me as of today.. Let's talk about you. No really.. talk about you. I miss this community and your blogs. I often wonder how we turned from telling our stories to taking selfies. Tell me a story. Tell me about your day, your kids, your dog, your job... whatever it is that you love or hate, tell me!Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-47942856749594842862014-04-20T20:58:00.002-07:002014-04-20T20:58:35.202-07:00Sorry that I left you hangin'.. for like a month or two So.. After my MRI in January things took a surprisingly good turn. I was shockingly...NORMAL, like more normal than I ever expected and more normal than I have been before. I was told that I don't have an extra vein in my brain as I was told in 2001. So I had my chiropractor start adjustments and I felt better within a week. It was amazing! I feel better than I have felt in years. I went from being in bed for weeks on end to teaching aerobics again, sometimes 8 times in a week. I LOVE how great I am feeling.. sad thing is that I don't have a single class anymore, I just sub for other instructors now, but I take a completely different approach to teaching. I am so grateful that I can.<br />
On a completely different note, my husband and I are planning a trip to "Hell Roaring Lake". I haven't been there since I was 20 something and that is my only experience there, but I remember it being absolutely beautiful, so I would like to go again. If we think the kids won't complain too much about being in nature (ugh, drives me crazy how teenagers hate to leave the house) then we will take them there as well. I am so excited!! I love that my husband is excited to go as well. It is a bit of a drive, 3.5 hours away, but so worth it!!<br />
Life has hit us in the face already this year HARD, but slowly we are solving problems... one moment at a time. Teenage girls have another world that they live in... it's not pretty. All I want are modest, respectful ladies with good manners that are happy. Is that to much to ask? unfortunately sometimes, yes... but we are really trying!! Daily we try to create happy, healthy young people..<br />
someday we will see the change. patience is such a good quality, some days I have more than other days.<br />
Anyways... I ramble. Life is crazy!!! ... and I wouldn't change a thing...<br />

Looking up.Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-37496460868221102992014-01-19T13:00:00.004-08:002014-01-19T13:00:59.331-08:00Not really Vertigo, I guessSo I went in for a hearing test last week and they ruled out all my inner ear theories. They scheduled a balance test for the first week in February and scooted me on my way.. So I got to thinking, why don't I go see my buddy, Dr Ogata? I have known him for about 15 years and he knows me and will take the time to check my ears and my neck and at least I will see a friendly face. He is the very best Chiropractor in the valley, but he wouldn't touch my neck. He told me that it sounds neurological and set up an MRI for the very next day. I went in to the MRI and came out so dizzy that I couldn't even sit up on my own. I did not like the loud sounds and the shaking, but if they were looking for a reaction, I'm sure they got it. My plan is to lay low for a while. Keep the distance from me to the hospital short and rest as much as I can stand. School starts this week and I was really looking forward to getting into the swing of having a schedule. I am still going to go, but I will have to find out the bus routes and take the safe routes to campus. It is very therapeutic to write about it instead of talking. Talking makes me cry.<br />
<br />
Here is what I know. Dr Ogata was concerned about an extra vein I have in my brain. They rupture after a while. I guess the signs of it beginning to rupture are swelling and pressure. So if he is correct, Brain surgery is in my future. I am not sure that is what it is, but for now, that is the speculation that makes the most sense. I can't believe that I could have brain surgery, it is a bit surreal. I hope they just find out that I have a swirley twirley gumdrop head and that a simple change of diet is the answer. I could live on apples and rice.<br />
<br />
I love you all. I really do. You, my friends make life amazing. All the fun times and happy memories are flooding in big time this week. It's weird to think of how your life is totally not your own. It's like its on loan and when it's over, it's over. I hope to be around a long time still, but perspective is certainly changing. I always thought I would get older and teach dance for generations to come.. lol.. I guess motivational speaker might be better if this route takes me to where it just might.. I better put the positive thinking cap on and charge ahead.<br />
<br />
I really do love you.. and I am looking up to the blue skies..Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-2953029389582854842014-01-08T20:27:00.000-08:002014-01-08T20:27:01.811-08:00Vertigo.SO when a group exercise instructor gets dizzy... no work for you. I have had dizzy spells since Thanksgiving and finally I went to the Doctor because they weren't going away. Now I can't even drive. I feel like a sixteen year old who got the car keys taken away. I hate the dizziness so much though and its getting scary to drive... and sometimes to walk. I almost fell over the other day in the kitchen, thankful that it's not huge. I feel like my whole career is going to change now cause I can't spin around, even slowly. It's super frustrating!!!!!! ugh!<br />
<br />
Praying for small miracles, like a healed head.<br />

Clam dip, egg nog, and peppermint... yes foods are traditional. And I love driving in the snow! Hanging lights and decorating the tree are such great memory joggers. I always feel a nostalgia when Christmas time comes. A longing to be small again and feel the magic wonder of Christmas. I sometimes can breathe deep and catch a snowflake as I walk through the parking lot of a grocery store to pick up my favorite Christmas snack (there are so many fun snacks for Christmas) or I can watch the tree with all the lights on it in complete darkness, snuggled in a blanket with.. yes hot chocolate another favorite snack! We always watch "ELF" at Christmas time and we play carols on the piano while everyone sings. This is truly a beautiful and connecting time of year.<br />
<br />
This year we are making presents, long boards to be exact. Everyone is getting one, even me! I am so excited and even though we can't ride them until the snow clears, I am going to practice in the garage until it's warmer. Sean is cutting out the wood and I am painting some of them (in a house full of artists, their work is better than mine) and sanding them all. I am thinking this will be an amazing Christmas! It's always better to do something for people than just shopping for them, in my opinion. Also at 300 bucks a pop from Zumies...times nine, equals no thank you!<br />

Lunch with mom is awesome. I love spending time out with my sweetheart, and friends and whomever wants to dine outside the home is a friend of mine... however... I hate people telling me what I can and cannot eat because I have Celiac disease. Today a waitress told me that I couldn't eat olives and I was blown away.. why? I asked... Because the stuff they are soaked in does something to the gluten , she replied. As to not raise a fuss, I said, can I please get the olives on the side? and then I ate them. They may have been soaked in some kind of alcohol, but there was no reason that I could think of why I shouldn't eat them. It might have been barley that could have, but didn't send me into stomach spasms. I really am a stubborn woman. I know this about myself. The fact that this very nice, but unaware, waitress did not know was that it either has gluten in it, or it doesn't. Olives do not have gluten. If they are stuffed with bread or soaked in barley, malt, or some other gluten source, I understand... I will not eat them. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE TELLING ME TO NOT EAT SOMETHING.. GO FIND OUT!!!! This makes me upset. If you are in business to sell food. Educate yourself and your staff on food allergies, or get out of the kitchen! This public service message brought to you today by me.. Yeah.Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-20864656098691625982013-11-23T10:13:00.001-08:002013-11-23T10:13:24.435-08:00SO many reasons I love my husband.... here are my top 20!<ul>

By about song two, they dryed and the sweat began, so then they were wet again. It seems I can't stay dry today... Because from that class I went to teach Zumba/strength at a different club... sweaty again! Now I am blogging in soppy clothes. Oh well, I can remedy that when I finish this entry.<br />
School is wrapping up for the Thanksgiving holiday and I am excited for the break. I took a week off teaching, so I may jump into some strength classes of someone elses for the holidays. It would be nice to be in the back row!! ;) I also want to start cycling with my husband now that I am stronger. I always have liked cycling, but my endurance wasn't what it is now and I never made my goals which was always upsetting. He doesn't like classes, so we will probably do the cycling on our own.<br />
This has been such a busy month already and my blogging has suffered, but I will tell you why... I have moved to a new club, everything is in place and the new classes start December 2nd. I am thrilled to be making the change. I will still teach three classes a week in the morning at ten am, but it will be at Body & Soul fitness on Ustick and Cole. I am hoping that I can teach more as time demands. I still teach monday mornings at Axiom and T/Th evenings at the YMCA. I was loving training for Bodyattack, but my leg started acting up and I had to tone it down. Boot camp is entering its last week and I am a little afraid to not keep up my momentum as I enter the holiday food season. I love to eat , but I love working out too... Finals are December 13th and then next semester will start in January. I have a big chunk of time where I can get my house back to clean and orderly!! yay!<br />
<br />
I'm just blabbering, but Im getting cold, so off I go!!<br />
<br />
Happy Monday!<br />

Doesn't seem like I have ever been in a different place than I am now, a loving husband, seven kids, a nice home, wonderful in-laws. So I won't dwell in the past. I just want to express how grateful I am for the joy in my life... my husband and family are my joy. Without them I would be one sad mama.Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-90165064467095028032013-08-26T21:21:00.000-07:002013-08-26T21:21:00.511-07:00School school.. school is cool!!OK.... school is starting in the morning, for the kids. It started for me and my sweetheart TODAY! We both were at BSU at opposite times. I was there from 12-2pm and he went in from 5-9pm. I also taught 2 Zumba classes this morning, went and got my hair done at 4pm, took the "twins" to the mall for last minute school shopping, took the little guy on a date to Sonic and am finally able to blog. I am so tired. SO. TIRED. did I mention that my little baby dog woke up at 4am to bark and bark and bark until finally I got up to find him soaked in his own urine and when I let him out, I stayed up to clean out his kennel? There was that. I love my baby dog, but I wanted sleep so badly. Good thing he is so cute.<br />
This week is going to be awesome... and by awesome, I mean busy! I have to get six kids to five different schools in the morning, before 8:45am. Lucky for me, my bonus kids can catch the bus right in front of our house.<br />
<br />
and now I am off to sleep.Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-75001598819468882892013-08-18T23:03:00.002-07:002013-08-18T23:03:30.310-07:00Hand stand party...This week there have been a lot of fires in the valley. The inversion is overwhelming at times, but if you look straight up, you can still see the blue in the skies. I love Idaho. There is always a place you can drive to where those skies are amazing and blue.<br />
Tonight three of our kids came home. I am so glad! We played settlers of Catan (Sean won.. again) and then we had prayers. After prayers we had a headstand contest... It was amazing. and hilarious. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was on my head. So no pictures today, but imagine in your mind...<br />
<br />
Three skinny kids and two adults thrusting their, no flinging their bodies into the air so they could be upside down for a moment, then crash landing in most cases back to gravity and its brutal pull.<br />
<br />
We also had eaten no bake cookies and I think the sugar rush had a lot to do with our excessive energy. Gluten free of course, cause I made them. :)<br />
<br />
Stake conference was this weekend. I was strongly reminded of what a christian is supposed to be like. I feel that most of the time I try to be Christ-like and I try to be patient and loving to those around me. I have my shortcomings and my pride and imperfections. I was in a bit of a state when I came home. I think it all hit me how important this gospel of Jesus Christ is to me. I want to be better. I hope that I can increase the good in my life and the lives of those around me. The gospel is true. God lives and loves us... and I know that... and no, I am not crazy.<br />
<br />
Much love to you tonight. May your skies be blue, Keep looking up.<br />
<br />

I have bitter sweet feelings about this. I am so attached to these sweet kids. I haven't been away from all the kids for this long in quite a while and as nice as it is to spend some time with my sweetheart, the house feels empty and quiet. On the flip side.. I get to spend time with my swettie all the time.. because he has the flu, or something. I think he will try for the third time to go to work in the morning. He is amazing. I don't know how he does it.<br />
<br />
School is coming up quickly and we all have started gearing up for the final days of summer. For my birthday we spent the day at Eagle island in the sunshine. It was a magical day. The kids built sandcastles and buried each other in the sand, went swimming like fish in the lake and ate yummy snacks and sandwiches. I love summertime. This is a better life than I could have imagined.<br />

Yeah, not a great idea on wooden floors! Now I have a cut on my pinky toe. So what you say?! I say it hurts.My pinky toe rests sideways so the cut is right along the same path as my toes nail bed, and every step brings pain to it. it cracks open and bleeds every day. I have put band aids and ointment on it to no avail...so my husband cut it off.<br />
<br />
no seriously.<br />
<br />
What!!!???<br />
<br />
We took a drive today and looked at beautiful houses and talked about winning the lottery, took some amazing pictures of us as if we were suddenly transformed into owls and enjoyed nature and all things good. It was a nice day. <br />

She is going to be a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Uruguay for the next 18 months. I am excited for her to have such and exciting and adventuresome time ahead of her. She will be a great missionary. <br />

I hope this post finds you all in good spirits and happy places. We have had a very nice Christmas and lots of time to see family and make some good memories. Sean and I had a great time trying to decide what to get every child in our family. Some kids were easy to shop for while others were next to impossible to find something to make them smile. I think we did alright though, everyone seems happy this morning. Lots of giggling and game playing, sock wearing, and henna markings. A house with teenagers in it is a lot of fun. <br />

Last night we spent the evening with my parents and siblings and their families. There were some really fun games, good food and lots of laughing.. lots of it. Sean and I brought our new theater popcorn popper over and made lots of popcorn. Amy's daughter, Hailey, liked it the most and was so funny with making sure everyone got some. She is a cutie pie.<br />
Today is pajama day I guess. I'm not really sure, but everyone is staying in their pajamas and snacking and laying around. It's nice, no pressure to do anything. I called my kids to wish them a merry Christmas and they seem very happy with the presents they got from their dad. I'm glad that I get to see them tomorrow. I miss them and their hugs and smiles..Zumba Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215980491851191277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970418798003445228.post-29231761364851808642012-12-05T14:19:00.002-08:002012-12-05T14:19:15.525-08:00wedding in September, house in January..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was blessed to meet and marry a wonderful man named, Sean.. Yes Sean. Fortunately for me, it has been a wonderful experience and continues to be fun and crazy and awesome!!! I hope the same goes for him.. lol..<br />
<br />
Our seven amazing children get along like forever friends and life is really great for all of us. In January we move in all together..(we have been living in two different houses until a larger and affordable one opened up) and I am thrilled to start packing for our move just before the first of the year, a very nice day.<br />
<br />
We have an early Christmas gift this year... his name is Ollie.. and he is adorable.. most of the time. ;) He is a ten week old black lab mix and is as sweet as he is cute.<br />
<br />
Well, have a happy!!!

So if you read this one and my others, you may get repeats of information. I do want them to be for different things. I will try to focus this one on gluten free foods and nutrition. The simple life of me and three will be focused on family and zumba in caldwell will be about zumba classes..
