Hi everyone,
I'm back. As in I hope to be back blogging regularly again. Now, I want to introduce a one time only segment called "Possible Frequently Asked Questions."
i will take the time to try and think of questions you might possibly have for me while I've been gone. Here goes...
Q: Arianna, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Its been months since you've been posting anything.
A: Well, that is VERY true. The answer is that while I love to blog, show pictures, and share my latest projects...it's the first thing to go when life gets a little...interesting.
Q: What do you mean by interesting?
A: We enjoyed a wonderful Holiday season, complete with staying at my parents for Christmas. Ryan has continued to stay very busy at work with lots of traveling. We both are in the YM/YW presidencies in our ward. That is crazy busy and fun(emphasis on crazy and fun). After everything was starting to get back to normal, we found out I was pregnant!

Q: WHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME YET?!
A: We decided to keep this tidbit to ourselves until we saw a sweet little ultrasound picture. Hardly anyone knew. It was tough. Morning sickness kept creeping up at each passing day. Luckily just a lot of "I'm feeling so sleepy and my stomach is on a carousel" feeling and not the "I'm going to throw up everyday" feeling.
Aubrey and I laid very low. It was raining ALOT so we stayed inside, did art projects (without food) and watched movies and cuddled. Sadly, I miscarried at 11 weeks on Feb 23rd without ever seeing anything on the ultrasound screen. We were warned by the Drs, which made it a little less of a shock.
Q: ...I don't know what to say. How are you doing?
A: I am actually much better now. It was quite the experience (including going into labor and being at the ER 7 hours). But, the Drs took great care of me, as well as my family. I had my tears and hugged Ryan alot. It will be okay. I think the best thing for anyone to say to ME is that they are thinking of us/love us. We have felt so much love through all of this and it is so wonderful.
Q: What/How are you doing now?
A: Currently, I am doing amazing. It is very bittersweet to be happy about having energy back and no morning sickness. I am catching up from all the laying low. It feels really nice. I am looking forward to a beautiful spring and going outside with Aubrey. I am also a returning coupon junkie and getting enough courage to finally admit it! You may see some recent deals on this blog. It's so fun! Time to restock our food storage...
Q: What is Aubrey up to?
A: She just turned 2 yesterday! She is such a joy. I catch her reading out loud to herself from her books in her little language. She loves to sing songs and give me hugs. I am so grateful for her cheerful disposition.
Q: How is Ryan through all of this?
A: He is doing well. He continues to work so hard and readjust to growing demands from work. I am grateful to have him in my life and he is such a best friend to me through the fun and tough times. He works with the 12-13 year old deacons in our ward and has such a strong desire to help each boy succeed in the program. I truly am blessed.
Q: Anything else I should know?
A: I just returned from my sweet Grandmother Herterich's funeral. It was nice to be with family. I have also had my ipod touch disappear through all of the commotion at my parent's house. That is my link to my email. So I am not ignoring you if you don't hear from me. I am just waiting the 30 minutes it takes from my ancient desktop to decide to start working. Sometimes I just give up and go read a book instead. Please don't be offended.
Q: Well, glad everything is ok now.
A: Yup, everything is ok. We love you all and will now be rewarding you with pictures!!
Love, Us
